The jokes that are displayed on the internet cater for all tastes, ranging from embarrassing pictures to amusing articles on current affairs.

Internet humor may be categorised as a style of comedy that specifically relies on characteristics belonging to the internet, such as “funny dancing” or “geek” humor. Usually, this niche type of humor starts off as an “in-joke” within a small group of people, until it reaches a significant proportion of the internet as it gains in popularity.

Although the inernet has been responsible for the mass expansion of comedy, it was predated by bulletin boards, corperate messaging systems and faxes, since the 1970s.
