David tackles text speak and the charming little innovation LOL. But will he be for or against the modern habit of approving a joke with the abbreviation?

Sarcasm in written form is purely subjective on the reader's part. I read "lol" with far more sarcasm than I do "haha".
Furthermore, you can do more with "haha" to suggest or deny a sarcastic reading. For instance, "Ha. Ha. Ha." is clearly suggesting slow, mocking, disingenuous laughter, whereas "Haha!" is more likely to be a genuine display of amusement.
With "lol" you have: "Lol", "LOL" or "looooooooooooolllllllllllllll
ololll". All of which are, essentially, bollocks. -

LOL, love David Mitchell

I use smilies as a end to a message to show that if we were talking face to face I would be giving them a friendly smile, or in conveying my own cheerfulness. For example "I've had a lovely day :)" I agree that using them at the end of a joke is rather like laughing at your own joke. It makes you an idiot.

I use smileys to illustrate the mood of the sentence, because it's too easy to for people to misconstrue your meaning over text
