That was pretty humouring...but not at an "LoL" level.
I consider the "lol" level pretty low so to me if it isn't at the "lol" level then it shouldn't even deserve a level.
Even though I must say that was the best one out of all of them.New server name: Venice

The "lol" level to most people just means that they think that whatever they're looking at is humoring. But to me, it actually means what it was meant to mean "Laugh Out Loud"

"lol" has become a much more general term that actually laughing out loud. I say it all the time when I really don't laugh just when something is humorous or even if it makes me kinda chuckle/smile type of a thing. But everyones different.
