what is "troll rate" ?

Who decides what is funny/amusing?

I think George Carlin, Bob Newhart and Jeff Foxworthy are hilarious. I don't much care for the Marx Brothers or the Three Stooges.

I think Two and a Half Men is sometimes funny - but often not in very good taste.

I think the human/animal body is an awesome, wonderful creation - but some of the functions are considered taboo for general discussion - or at least some words used to describe them are - but some of the situations are funny - at least to the observer!

A lot has to do with the words selected - a different image comes up with each of the following: fluffy, chubby, curvy, robust, flabby, obese, gross, fat, overweight- etc.

I think some of the old age/senior citizens things are funny (I'm 68) but some of the situations depicted aren't funny at all - example: why am I here and what was I doing? sort of jokes - or body malfunction/dysfunction jokes -

Some of them are in the "If I wasn't laughing, I'd be crying" category
