There are many plausible explanations for this question. Perhaps parents were right and all that �garbage� penetrating through our society has actually numbed us. So now not only are people desensitized to the evils of the world but now they are becoming numb to basic forms of humor. Or maybe people lack the intelligence now a days to understand the random form of humor. And so if some one were to unexpectedly blurt out �I�m dancing like a monkey!� their audience would get confused and ask what compelled them to say that or why they feel their movements are that of a primate. Or possibly there is an alien race who is gaining control over every human mind and slowly diluting it, eventually leaving us all as senseless as sheep so they can bend us to their every will.
While these may be true in some cases I think the reason that the world�s random sense of humor is depleting is a simple case of fear. A fear of embarrassment. A fear of rejection. People have associated the act of being random with being weird. And somewhere along the line, the word weird was given a negative connotation and is now perceived as un-cool. Since the natural human instinct is to seek the highest state of coolness possible, people don�t risk embarrassment and being rejected because they spouted off in search for a laugh. Instead they confine themselves to routine humor.
But really what is there to be afraid of? The answer most likely is that no one will realize the humor in the randomness of the moment and the attempt at comedy will fail. However, such fears need not exist. Random humor is infallible when it comes to getting a few chuckles. The reason being no one expects it. No one expects someone to run down a hall yelling, � My mom is a hamster!� leaving them stunned and perplexed. Thus the element of surprise, along with the oddity of the situation, leaves the audience no choice but to laugh.
This off the wall way to laughter is truly the best form of comedy. Not only is it hilarious, but also it continuously stays unpredictable since it is concocted on a whim. It would be a shame to exclude such a marvelous thing from enriching the world with laughter. So the next time your friends and you need a good laugh, don�t resort to repeating the routine jokes. No, instead look at your friends, smile, and say, �There�s a winter party in my pants.� Randomness never fails.
