A list is a simple way to write a series of items. Each list has its own rules for what belongs on the list: A shopping list contains only items you want to buy. The writer and reader both save time by using a list rather than repeating words for each item, such as "I need to buy eggs. I need to buy milk. I need to buy bread. I need to buy porn." So a list is a formatting tool, nothing more. If your writing is funny, and it would be pointless to repeat the missing words, using a list is a good thing. If your writing is not funny, making it a list only makes that fact more glaring.

The reader can easily skip over the list, but will never actually stop to consider each unrelated, undeveloped idea. If you see an unfunny list, try to repair it: * Add text that relates the items to one another. * Develop each item into a full paragraph or two, so that it doesn't just state a potentially funny concept but brings out the humor. If the above seems impossible: * Delete the list entirely. * But if there is no other value, delete the page: If the article is based on unfunny lists, nominate it at Votes for deletion. If the page is nothing but lists, use Quick VFD to ask an Admin to delete it for that reason. If you know an article has a problem but can't decide how or whether to repair it, attach to alert a senior editor to take a look at it.
