I think part of what makes it so hilarious is the real-life effects. Other communities might have inside jokes but on WSB they're references to times people committed financially insane actions with real consequences. There's not only hilarity, but a morbid curiosity that makes me laugh and gasp at the same time.

But there are also the situations where some concave skulled moron manages to be so stupid, it actually costs a company like Robinhood and WSB comes out on top (see - 1R0NYMAN)

I think 1RONYMAN is smarter than a lot of the people that laugh at him. Terrible judgement. But intelligent.

Well that would just be another one of the real-life consequences, good or bad, for either party involved.
