Have you ever asked yourself why some of the funny pictures posted on the internet are so viral in a matter of minutes? Emotional response and relatability is the solution.
Viral humor tends to be an overstated or a surprising capture of daily experience. Viewers relate to when they watch something that echoes their own experiences in life such as a kitchen disaster or a pet caught in the act of mischief. Sharing is motivated by that relationship.
Timing is another key factor. Photos corresponding to the trending topics, holidays or contemporary events are spread quickly. By the time humor is on top of relevance, it increases its spread.
Simplicity also plays a role. A simple joke that can be seen and comprehended is better than a complicated joke, which needs to be explained. The sooner one understands something, the sooner he/she disseminates it.
Social media algorithms promote content, which elicits interaction in the shortest time possible. As funny pictures have a direct immediate reaction (likes, comments and shares), they automatically appear on the top of feeds.
In AMERICASFUNNIESTPICTURES.COM, we are concentrating on getting these high-engagement qualities. Our assorted collections feature humor that is universal, yet not offensive and obscene.
The second time you encounter an amusing picture all over the internet, you should recall, it is not mere chance. It is the combination of its relatability, the right time, the emotional touch, and shareability.
