We make fun of so many things, that in the end we take irony in all its magnificence for granted. It’s not even funny. Any type of drama/ soap-opera uses satire. As a matter of fact almost all hit TV shows display an amplification of a stereotype. (Again pointing us towards satire) And what is irony if not the essence of current comedy.
Maybe that’s why we are so hard to please. If we have an overly-exaggerated perception of how people act, in the actual circumstances we find it sort of bland.
While I narrate this in my head, I go con facebook to find a satirical bumpersticker hoping to find a really clever one. To tell you the truth, as soon as I opened the bumpersicker page, I let out a chuckle. I guess it wasn’t that hard.

See what I mean? Think about it: is what "laugh out loud" about still really that funny?
