Everything is like a joke, because philosophically that is the condition of a world where nothing is intrinsically valuable, everything is hollow. That is the post modern condition, a sort of hallow materialism, a reflection on a reflection of nothing.
Honestly, it sounds like you had chronic depression or something. Maybe even slightly suicidal if you truly thought your existence was meaningless (from what I can gather).
