I don't have a right answer for you. But I am pretty confident that low effort Sponge bob memes is the wrong way to go about being funny.
 
The funniest things tend to be stuff which isn't meant to be funny.

So if you can manage to be very dumb but also take yourself very seriously, you're almost guaranteed to become funny.
 
Raw trial and error. You have to accidentally piss off a lot of people, and cause a lot of uncomfortable moments, like ones with deep silences, until you become funny. A lot of people have childhood embarrassment memories from times the tried to be funny and it just fell flat.
 
Don't try too hard, don't overthink it. If you cannot make a joke work, shelve it and maybe you can rework it into something humorous later. Delivery can matter more than content (or perhaps personality/likeability?). Look at Norm MacDonald. He could get laughs with a single word and a glance.
 
What makes you fit in your spot (zone), you can do good jokes at. Find out what makes people laugh within their boundaries [many don't like a off-topic joke for an example], and what you can do with the info.
Don't go sperging out the jokes though with random humor
 
out of abject pity for you I shall share my favorite joke, please feel free to use it on Others:

What is the difference between a 40 pound bag of cocaine and a 4 year old little boy?

Eric Clapton would NEVER let a 40 pound bag of cocaine fall out of a 53 story window
