I think it happened about the time we all started worrying about how things affect self-esteem. You can't say anything that can offend someone because it would be wrong to hurt that person's feelings, only it spiraled out of control to a point where people felt that they were owed the right not to be offended by anything at all. This also resulted in people feeling like the world revolves around them. With some people, if they aren't the center of attention, they feel that the world will collapse. And I see more people like that around every day.
If you don't find something funny, don't laugh, but don't stomp out everyone else's fun because it's not your type of humor. Too many people take themselves too seriously. Sometimes you just need to sit back, relax, and have some fun just being silly. It does wonders for you.
