There have been good "joke" builds in the past. The most recent one I can think of prior to the Cabbage Farmer is the Combustion Golem. It had hilaiously stupid special attacks consisting of "Punch it to Death" and "Burn It!", but its mechanics and presentation were solid. The author followed the basic guidelines and didnt leave readers hanging as to how to recreate his build.
Its exceedingly rare to come across a joke build that actually generates any likes. I've seen many failed attempts go by. Remember the Savage Glutton build (is that build even still around)? Remember how that build relied on dropping a F-bomb at least once per sentence to get a laugh? Remember how miserably it failed? I think it generated a pitiful 3 likes.
Point is, writing is a huge part of what makes a build successful. It takes a great writer to make people laugh. Its the reason why builds such as The Kook and The Town Drunk are so successful.
Rest assured, the flood gates have not been broken. Creating joke builds to farm likes is not nor will it ever become the next big thing. From what I see released on a typical day, most people can't write a serious build to save their lives. So something as difficult to write as humor is out the window already.
On a side note I agree that the naked pics need to be gone like yesterday.
