One of the main things that distinguishes internet humour from other funny things on the world wide web is ownership, there usually isn't any, mainly because as will all things, articles, jokes, stories and other related items, get changed. Usually this is a process of each item getting changed with every few user it passes until the original is no longer able to be recognized, and therefore it becomes public domain.
Another commonly used definition of internet humour is lingo and what the humour is about. Usually it is classed as internet humour if it is created using terms that were only created and used when the internet came into play, like hacker or geek jokes for example.
Some of the most popular internet humour includes jokes and stories such as:
The Darwin Award - about people who get an award for doing incredibly stupid acts like, using a lighter in a fuel tank to see if there was any flammable substance within it or ski diving without a parachute to film others.
