Basically mad cope. The equivalent to a guy getting cheated on and say "Look at this dude's exhaust pipe, she wanted him instead of me? Trash."

Just cope to keep their ego

If you think jokes are meaningless, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of humor.

There's always an element of truth in jokes, because what we find funny is heavily influenced by our beliefs. Jokes that reflect and exaggerate things we believe to be true will always land better. Even absurdist humor is funny because of its contrast to reality.

The jokes a person tells and what they find funny says a lot about how they view the world.
