Response to KKs

I love Vine. Normally, I am against new social media because change isn't something that excites me. But there are so many funny vines out, they are nearly impossible not to find funny. Some of the funniest people on social media now are from vines, where they can make short videos of them acting like idiots or just making fun of people. One of my good friends, Jake, describes Vine as "I watch videos endlessly on vine and they all make me laugh. Vine is cool." Mary, on the other hand, does not use vine and says "It is a sad way to express yourself, you should express yourself in person." I agree that a lot of the funny people out there hide behind computer screens, but quite honestly I am ok with that. Some people don't mind it either, but people, including Mary, feel very strongly toward that topic. 
KK also mentioned how she loved animal vines, and videos of animals are things in life that keep me going. Especially cute animals like puppies or squirrels. This is an example of innocent humor where the animals, unless they are possessed, have no idea that they are being funny and that is why we find them funny. They are just so innocent :/

  1. I wonder why you find animals funny, precisely because they are innocent, and yet don't find the Brady Bunch funny, because the humor is too innocent. Maybe there is a line between just dull, and truly innocent? Is there a timelessness that makes it funny? You seem not to like either stuff that is too old, or too new--what's the sweet spot?
