- s1mplicissimus 1y agoSeems like you stumbled over the concept of the Antiwitz. Congratulations :D https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiwitz https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiwitz
- Cpoll 1y agoThe concept exists in English as well. Kaufman, Norm Macdonald, Isaac Asimov. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-humor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-humor
