The reason why funny videos as gif became big is the promise they give you that they are funny without sound, so you can play them in the office or during commute without fear that something will suddenly be noisy, or that something won&#x27;t be easily understood.<p>When gifs started breaking the promise of being fast to load, due to people sharing fairly large res animations, sites such as gfycat tried to replicate the promise of silent sketches, but with more modern technology.<p>This is not bizare at all. Less is sometimes more.
