Nearly all trolled statements are meant to be funny to some people, so it does have some social/entertainment value.


Just as bad as trolling is. . . "Feeding the Trolls":

This is when people say stuff that they know will prompt someone to respond with a trolled reply and/or replying to comments that are blatantly from a troll. This is especially true when a troll first makes his comment/reply, and (usually many) people respond, either trying to correct the troll, or express anger at the statement. At that point, the trolling was successful and has been fed. When encouraged by success and feeding, trolls often return.


Here's an Urban Dictionary it should answer a lot of your questions.
