Chuck Norris Jokes/Facts
They were funny at first, with total originality and hilarity, but once you have heard about all of them, you really don’t care if Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird, or if Chuck Norris drives an ice cream truck covered in human skulls. With huge popularity, comes terrible cheesiness. They lost their fun somewhere around Mike Huckabee’s campaign and when they started making Norris shirts and magnets. I don’t care if you think Chuck Norris is about to roundhouse kick me, the jokes have been blown into nothing but money-making schemes now.
The Good Alternative: Bruce Lee
Sure, Chuck Norris has his roundhouse kicks, but did you know Bruce Lee invented legs just so he could have two other things to beat the crap out of someone when his fists got bored? I didn’t think so.

The Rick Roll
We have all experienced this at one time or another and it was great…but again, once everyone knows about it, it tends to jump the shark. Now it seems like everyone and their dog is trying to Rick Roll someone else. It has even spawned off various spin-offs, such as the Reich Roll and the Fresh Prince Roll. So please, for the love everything, please stop. Yes, it is a good song, but let it die for a short period of time, and then revive it.
The Fresh Alternative:
Refreshing? This is what started the Rick Roll, and it needs to return.

Lol Cat
Never before has there been such a huge insult to grammar and spelling. Leading to sheer annoyance and hard to read sentences, the lol cat makes this list. Sure, the pictures themselves are funny, but the text, it is so hard to read/is annoying, it isn’t worth it. This wouldn’t be on here if it wasn’t for the spelling, but then again, it is also coming close to the overused mark. I can’t go around on the web without finding someone saying “I can has ____” in every post.
A Fun Alternative:

Dramatic Prairie Dog
Yes, this is a prairie dog, not a hamster, not a squirrel, a prairie dog. Like so many others, clever at first, but since then, has fallen into a hole of remakes and remakes. What was once original has lost all hilarity. With the numerous spin-offs, such as the evil dramatic look, the star wars look, the Samuel L. Jackson look, the list goes on and on, this has just been taken down the road of stupidity.
Good Alternative: Power Thirst

For another Bruce Lee joke, and this really did happen, not some made-up stuff:
Bruce Lee’s so bad ass, his corpse was in a movie.
Watch the “Game of Death”, that is his actual funeral.
