What value does humor have anymore?

I've never been someone who laughs at a lot. It's not that I'm just sour and melancholy most of the time, I just don't genuinely laugh at or find a lot of things funny. I find things amusing. I'll lightly chuckle. I'll humor someone telling a funny story. But in my life, it's only on rare occasions that I laugh uncontrollably or find something so funny I can't stop laughing (might happen once every few months, sometimes just a few times a year). But I never fit in with the average college dope my age, because it always seemed like they were laughing and guffawing endlessly at stupid crap and sharing in this raucous, gratuitous camaraderie.

If I joined the group, I'd just sit there and observe and not say anything, and probably not laugh at much. The average idiot (person) seems to be OVERLY amused by life and seems to find so many unfunny things to be funny. Some even laugh hysterically at THEMSELVES, which I find somewhat awkward and irritating. We all will act amused or sometimes laugh at the stories we tell that we think are funny, but some people just go outright overboard. I don't know how else to say this, but people who laugh a lot just bloody bug me and frankly, I think most of them are idiots.

Another thing about me is when I watch TV, I usually have a delayed laughter. I'm usually thinking about something else, and while my brain recognizes that something is funny, I'm busy processing my current thoughts. I often laugh at things five to TEN seconds AFTER the punch line. Regular people just laugh immediately. People have noticed it and they've thought I was "slow" or "slow" to get a joke. No, it's just me usually thinking about two or three things at once and prioritizing. My brain REALIZES something is funny but prioritizes it, and gets the other thoughts out of the way first before reacting to it. Most people just seem like bubblegum-brained dolts who if you wave a shiny thing in front of them, they just react to it like a animal or a child would. "Here's a loud, funny, shiny thing!"

The WORST people to be around are the preppy, fraternity and sorority types in college. The partiers. These people LAUGH at anything, and not only that, they laugh at utterly stupid things and do so an in incredibly loud and over-the-top fashion. My brother is/was (still is) like that, and I had the misfortune of being around his friends a few times and it's complete torture. I just feel like if you laugh at anything, what value does humor have? You blur the lines between the distinction of something truly funny and original and potty humor or just pure inanity. It also seems like a culture of extreme, over-the-top amusement in everything has developed in recent years. It's this laugh fest at everything in life, often at the expense of others. I think it's an indication of a culture disconnected, drugged-up, entitled and dumbed-down and on the brink of collapse.
