Let's be fair. It's not just that reddit has a million jokes, it's that all these jokes are a rehash of jokes before it.
Posting a million lines of text and then ending it with Bell-Air was funny. The first time. Same for masking a link to some site you don't expect to go. It was funny the first time they did it. Some ten years before they reused the joke for Goatse, and then for tubgirl, and then for 2g1c, and then for a Rick Roll. Kind of gets boring...
I'm sorry, but I find the whole meme-thing rather annoying. Not only does it get in the way of serious discussion, it even gets in the way of new jokes.
I don't mind seeing a joke on HN, but only if it's funny. I'd rather risk no humor on any site than stupid humor.
