I think this sub has huge potential and I’d have made it myself if you hadn’t beaten me to it! Anyway: this kind of comedy sometimes benefits from constraints, so how about every e.g. Monday we have an official ‘theme’ post, stickied, where submitters are encouraged to drift towards our be inspired by the theme? Theme ideas could include joke formats (knock knock, lightbulb, something walking into a bar – in which case key phrases like e.g. “walks into a” or “knock, knock” might be permitted as single words, as stipulated by the theme), content (animals, food, celebrities, Reddit), or even syntactic (rhyming, alliteration). What do you think? (answers don’t have to be just one word!)
