I enjoy humor. I do not enjoy the 157th regurgitation of a joke, which is meant not to be funny but to remind me of the experience of that joke once being funny, particularly when that wastes space from my dedicated business/programming bandwidth. See: absolutely any reference to Monty Python, lolcats, the bastardized pieces of proto-humor commonly sometimes described as "memes", etc.
High voted jokes also breed more of themselves. (As do highly voted comments, on, e.g., sexually gratifying oneself. Oddly enough, people often think the creeping pornification is a substitute for humor, too. We're pretty harsh on those too, thank goodness.)
