Answer 9

the ones that have timeless humor. in other words humor that won't die out. for example, my parents recently got a season of living color and were watching it, they loved it when they were younger and were still laughing their heads off, but my brother and i didn't get it because the humor was based on things that happened during the time when the show was made.

but both me and my brother LOVE seinfeild because some in the stuff in there applies to our lives even though it was made a long time ago, the humor doesn't die out.
