Not terribly funny. While many of these certainly have the potential to be funny, most of them are overly wordy parroting of things we've all heard before. And there's the rub: They're far too straightforward. What a picture like this needs to be laughable is spontaneity. Instead of saying "Look, here's a joke we all have been talking about for a while," it needs to show you something, make you wonder why you're seeing that, then suddenly and swiftly spring the connection of humor on you. Take that Amy Winehouse picture, for instance. That shows you something, says something that makes sense, then suddenly shifts the meaning around in an unexpected, spontaneous way that has you see the picture in another way. That's a good example of image macro humor done right. EDIT: Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, of course.mutenpika
