The tiresome row of laugh/cry emojis

12 replies

When it's not in response to a truly funny joke, and if it's actually being done to try to humiliate somebody, posting a line of tears of laughter emojis is a massive red flag for immaturity, stupidity and possibly indicative of some amount of substance abuse. I have always considered it gauche, distasteful and trollish.
Agree or disagree?

*Please note that a line of laugh/cry emojis will automatically disqualify your response, so I will be deducting those posts from the final numbers in the poll. Happy holidays! ;-)

I appreciate the geometric flourish, but it's actually a rectangle. Please re-edit. I demand a square!

Agreed. It just makes the poster look like they can’t think of a reply but don’t want to lose face.

It's not a square. The bottom line is incomplete.

A yawn is no more articulate than a line of emojis. Just sayin'.

Give us an example of what is a truly funny joke in your opinion, that is eligible for emojis.

I meant any joke the poster in question genuinely thinks is funny, which varies from person to person. It's not about emojis in general or taste in jokes. I don't have a problem with a row of laugh/cry emojis in response to an actual joke or witty remark.
Let me give you a typical MN type of scenario for what I'm talking about. The topic is what to serve as appetizers at Christmas.

Poster A; "I ❤️ cheese! You should all serve a cheese platter. Everybody likes cheese and no party is complete without it."

Poster B; "Sure, it's tasty, but not everyone likes it and not everyone can eat it. Lots of people can't digest dairy properly, have allergies or lactose intolerance. Most people in my family can't do dairy, so I'm probably going with cold meat and fruit."

Poster A; "That's bonkers! You seem like hard work."

Poster B; "It's not bonkers, it's a medical fact."

Poster A; "A fact! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!"

Would you not concluded Poster A is something of a twat?
Incidentally, "You seem like hard work" seems to be the standard insult thrown at people for daring to disagree here at MN.
