I love that Dad clearly saw the message the kid was sending and responded in the most appropriate way possible. 👍
We spoke with a couple of experts to gain their insights into the social and psychological roles that humor plays in everyday text communication. According to licensed mental health counselor and Therapy Trainings founder Matt Grammer, it reduces the likelihood of threats and increases social cohesion.
Comedian and educator Michael Halcomb also noted that using humor via text immediately defuses tension, especially when relatability is emphasized.
“If you're at work, for instance, and send a funny text about the crappy elevator or the boss's breath, or the low pay, you're essentially telling your co-workers that you're one of them, that you get what they're going through, and you're immediately creating an in-group dynamic,” Halcomb told Bored Panda.

Many of the texts you will see here are self-deprecating in nature. According to Grammer, that self-effacing approach immediately breaks down social barriers because “highlighting weaknesses is unifying.”
“Absurd jokes illustrate a culture that is over-stimulated, just as modern life and the digital world feel. When sarcasm is used, the speaker suggests a form of intimacy, as it presumes a shared context,” he said.

One upside of text communication is how easy it has become to establish an emotional connection. As Grammer notes, playful texting creates anticipation, resulting in a shared emotional experience. However, he offered a caveat: humorous texting is most effective when there is a shared history.
“An inside joke can be a reminder of shared identity. Humor creates a positive emotional state and makes people more open to and active in conversations,” he said.

I'm always ready to party!!! (That is a lie, please do not take me at my word.)
Another way that humor through text strengthens emotional connection is through the Pratfall Effect. As Halcomb explains, it’s when you show vulnerability, which makes you more endearing and relatable.
“This is powerful because most of us prefer being around people who make silly mistakes over those who appear perfect,” he said.

Bruh XD I am actually adopted and I would have laughed my heiny off if my dad had ever said this to me. Though ironically he and my mother WERE present at my birth, but probably not in the actual room watching me emerge XD

Mom is like ... "I need a maternity test! Otherwise, how can I be sure, my kid is really mine?!"

Might want to learn the actual name of what you plan on studying/becoming, especially before starting that degree.

If my husband said this, I'd laugh and laugh and laugh and not buy it. If my sister said this, I'd go xero to pissed in 2.4 seconds and buy the hell out of it.

Is this what passes as Comedy Gold? Many of the texts that were like this just show an awful callousness...

These are all ancient, but thanks for the throwback. The good old lolcats days. Slightly disappointed my personal fave "lightly fried fish fillets" didn't show up.

Some of these were mildly amusing the first few dozen times they were posted too.
