Humor
A large part of the humor in many of these contests involves the use of internet memes.
Such contests are nowadays finding increasing participations in many blogs. A more "underground" variety of these image manipulation jokes involves the blending of celebrity faces with nude or pornographic images, often combined with references to movies, music, magazines and other forms of related popular culture.

Famous quotes containing the word humor:
“Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of Humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world. So if it is correct to say that humor was stamped out in Nazi Germany, that does not mean that people were not in good spirits, or anything of that sort, but something much deeper and more important.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“All my humor is based upon destruction and despair. If the whole world were tranquil, without disease and violence, I’d be standing on the breadline right in back of J. Edgar Hoover.”
—Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
