Humor is just relatability with better delivery
It works because it hits three triggers: relatability, humor, and shareability. The observation creates relatability. The humor creates engagement. The combination creates shareability. People see "Why does [relatable thing] always happen at worst time?" and think: "That's so true and funny. I want to share this." They click because funny observations feel relatable—even when the observation is generic. It's not about being clever—it's about making people laugh at things they recognize.
