6. no, really I wonder why |

Someday, I am going to secure funding to examine the phenomenon of lame copy-cat threads and repetitive worn out joke reposts (something sadly my own stepfather suffers from as well). Perhaps it will be dubbed Kewpitits?

7. Well, IMO the joke isn't simply in the repetition... |

It's in the variations each of which must be sufficiently similar to the original to qualify as a "Brazillions" joke while being sufficiently different to be a joke unto itself.
That's the madness to my method, if you must know.
