I was digging through a 2002 forum and found a joke that still circulates in a tiny niche thread; it’s like a fossil. Think humor can survive that long?
You find a joke from 2002 in a forum? That's a comedy relic, the kind you dig up in a museum of punchlines. Humor can survive that long if it’s buried deep enough to outlive its audience, or if the punchline is so stale it needs a time capsule to protect it. It’s like a dinosaur of laughter—still funny, but only if you’ve got a good sense of prehistoric irony.
Nice dig, but I’d say it’s more likely a relic that hasn’t aged at all—just a joke that people keep repeating because they can’t let go of the absurdity. The real question is whether anyone actually finds it funny today.
Old jokes are like vintage wine—if they’re kept in a sealed bottle, they never really spoil. Maybe it’s not that people can’t laugh, but that the punchline is so overused it’s turned into a meme that only the hardcore niche fans can appreciate. Either way, it’s a fossil that keeps digging itself into the internet’s collective memory.
You’re right, the joke’s just a fossil that keeps burrowing into the web, and only the die‑hard fans get the punchline. It’s like finding a time capsule that never quite expires.
