Counter point: the Internet has created a new definition of what funny means. This new kind of funny is like a kind of nostalgia mixed with groupthink. It's doesn't make anyone laugh, but it's "funny".
Didn't say anything about better or worse, but someone from the 80s would not find memes funny. You need to be a meme connoisseur to appreciate most memes. Even among my friends very few understand the shit posts you folks post.

It maybe would be mildly funny if it was real (at least Bieber and Psy).

I mean, yes, that's what I'm saying. Internet invested a new type of funny that isn't funny.

are you saying jokes in the 80s (70s,60s,etc) were better?

I'm from the 80s and I enjoy quite a lot of memes. We invented them (probably), us people from the 80s, you know.
