Comedy is a communication system for people to make other people realize how stupid some things are. Be they stupid people, places or things. Comedy is usually expressed by Comedians which may be Canadians, individuals, teams or troupes. Animators and illustrators may also qualify as comedians, as their product serves the same purpose. Certainly, Propaganda, pornography and laundry detergent advertisements may be funny, and serve as de facto comedy, but they are not officially comedy.
Internet comedy, called Lulz, was initially just about cats and a few other cute animals. It was introduced in the 1950s, with dogs introduced within a year, after much demand in the UK.

More recently in the 21st century, lulz has increasingly moved from analog to digital technology. (Full article...)

History and Origin
The history of the Knock Knock Knock joke can be traced back as far as ancient times. The earliest example of the joke can be found in the Bible, spoken by Moses in Exodus 9:22-25...
