    As an aside to the topic of this thread, I’m glad Chuck Norris jokes stopped being a thing, which if I remembered correctly was when Norris outed himself as a fundie creationist or something.

      He also started playing into the jokes with commercials and guest appearances on talk shows. Nothing kills a good time faster than brands.

      Also you’re right. I half remember something that got put up on his website like “You know who’s even tougher than me? This guy named Jesus”

      iirc Chuck Norris jokes originated on Something Awful, but as Vin Diesel jokes. Somehow there was some dumbass switcheroo along the way and there we were. I hated it and I’m glad they’re gone, for the same reason you gave.
