The thread revolves around the upcoming GURU Awards, focusing on humor and nominations for the "Funniest Member Award." Participants express their desire for increased humor and fun in the forum leading up to the event, while also discussing the nature of humor itself.
Participants generally agree that humor is a key aspect of the upcoming awards, but there are multiple competing views on the nature of humor and the appropriateness of tactics used in nominations. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the best approach to humor and competition.
Some statements about humor's origins and influences are based on personal beliefs and experiences, and there is no consensus on whether humor can be taught or is inherent.
