What is the future of topical humor?

Lexus Waghorn

Well, well, well, my sweet friends, if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that in these tough times a little bit of humor goes a long way. And what's better than a good old-fashioned joke about the hot button issues of the day? That's right, I'm talking about topical humor! But, dear followers, let's not ignore the elephant in the room - what is the future of topical humor? Will it continue to tickle our funny bones or will it become as outdated as bell-bottoms and disco?

As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of all things humor, I have given this much thought. First and foremost, let's acknowledge that topical humor has been around since the dawn of joke-telling itself. From the earliest days of man, folks have likely joked about the pesky sabertooth tiger that always steals their dinner or the endless winter snow. Throughout history, topical humor has continued to thrive, adapting to whatever is happening in society. So, if we use history as a guide, then the future of topical humor is looking bright!

Now, let's take a look at the current state of affairs. With the pandemic raging and social justice issues at the forefront, we have seen a resurgence in topical humor. We laugh at memes about Zoom meetings, we crack up at the absurdity of hoarding toilet paper, and we let out a hearty chuckle at the thought of a world where we all wear masks. Topical humor has become the escape we all need from the harsh realities of the world.

But, let's not forget, humor is a reflection of the society we live in. The future of topical humor will depend on the state of the world around us. As new issues arise, humor will adapt. Some things may become too taboo to joke about but that doesn't mean topical humor will disappear. People will always need a way to cope with reality and sometimes laughter truly is the best medicine.

In conclusion, my dear friends, the future of topical humor is bright! As long as we have issues to joke about, we will continue to find humor in the world around us. So, let's all sit back, buckle up, and get ready to laugh a little as we continue on our journey through this crazy world. Because if you can't laugh, what's the point?
