The one thing that is for sure in this world is that comedy ad things that are funny, silly, or sexy really get people's attention ad stand out in their minds. Why do you think that advertisers use content that is really funny, pretty silly, downright stupid and/or irritating or a bit on the sexy/steamy side? It is because these things really get the viewer's attention and stick in their minds if this material is in the form of a commercial on the radio or television or the internet. The question of why funny video clips are so popular and funny is subjective. What we mean by this is that the reasons people find something funny all depends upon the individual in question.
Think about this topic this way: what you might find pretty funny, say you like watching video clips of people getting pranks or practical jokes pulled on them; someone else might look at and say that is not really that funny. They might feel that what you think is really funny is actually pretty ridiculous to them. This is basically what we mean by the statement that the actual definition of what is funny and what isn't is subjective. We have seen instance of people posting free funny video clips that they really thought were funny, like the aforementioned example of people having pranks pulled on them, only to have people look at these and say that they really were not as funny as the person shooting the video thought it was.
The main reason that funny video clips really are so popular is that they provide a means of escape for a short time. If you are looking for something to get your mind off of whatever is bothering you, mist of the time you will want to watch something funny. This is precisely why there are so many funny videos clips out there on the internet. People are always looking for something that is new and different to watch and to laugh at.
