In order to explain this subreddit's massive success we need to get a little academic. Part of its appeal could probably be understood with the incongruity theory of humor.
According to Dr. Alex Borgella, who is an assistant professor of psychology at Fort Lewis College, it "suggests that we find fundamentally incompatible concepts or unexpected resolutions funny. Basically, we find humor in the incongruity between our expectations and reality."

This is similar to the techniques of stand-up comedians today — they speak of the set-up and the punch (line).
The set-up is the first part of the joke and it creates the expectation while the punch (line) is the last part that violates that expectation. In the language of the incongruity theory, the joke’s ending is incongruous with the beginning.
Indeed, many of the posts on 'Comedy Heaven' involve setups that lead to unexpected punchlines, such as a girl who drew a picture of her cat and thanked the vet for "carefully removing its testicles," or a chat between two people discussing Roe vs. Wade, only for one to reply they don't watch boxing.

Aaaaand...that's how egregious, draconian laws are passed; too few folks are aware of and/or care about the effects of laws that they don't think about or think will affect them. No one cares until it happens to them.

The "slap heard 'round the world" wasn't a big deal to Odie and Nermel. They are more fans of the Golden Globes.
The first philosopher to use the word incongruous when analyzing humor was James Beattie (1779).
When we see something funny, he said, our laughter "always proceeds from a sentiment or emotion, excited in the mind, in consequence of certain objects or ideas being presented to it."

Our laughter "seems to arise from the view of things incongruous united in the same assemblage."
And the cause of humorous laughter is "two or more inconsistent, unsuitable, or incongruous parts or circumstances, considered as united in one complex object or assemblage, as acquiring a sort of mutual relation from the peculiar manner in which the mind takes notice of them," Beattie thought.

My mom never would have let me live that down. She’d be gleefully planning out how to work that story into her speech at my wedding.

The towel does make it very easy to clean any mayo spills on the table. German efficiency everyone!
What happens in Peru when they run out of 1998 Ford Focuses? The 1999 ones just aren’t suitable as a breakfast food
Maybe they can try eating trains like normal people. /s

I can confirm I regularly have sadness in the morning but the beans make it better
How can you possibly have sadness if you have beans? Maybe you also need a cat?

Been to Germany. I can verify that to be a typical German breakfast. Usually served with a beer.
German here. Can confirm. That's the reason why we drink that huge amount of beer. Those dammit towels are so dry you need more than one maß of beer to gulp it down in the morning. Coffee alone simply doesn't do the trick.

Turns out this is wrong, but my Japanese hosts were so eager to please and I was so afraid to be embarrassed that I spent most of my trip getting my stomach pumped
Jeez, how much paint did they make you drink??

given the fact I live in the UK but absolutely loathe beans, it would indeed include sadness if this was my breakfast.
Do all Peruvians eat an entire Ford Focus every morning? Just to be clear, the Norway one goes for all Scandinavians. We also drink coffee made from the tears of our enemies.
I can confirm we eat an entire gallon of blue lead paint for breakfast. The brush just makes it *chef’s kiss.*
Just think.... they had to get THIS extreme, just to make murica look good.
I can vouch gor GB,'s Beans & Sadness. The cost of beans is outrageous.
Britain here, we normally have toast or full English with beans but yeah also sadness. F*****g economy.

Japan's paint lol - i guess referring to the thick matcha ? alot of ocha, miso soup rice, fish, fruit, your stomach just feels so full-
