    Default What kind of humour do you like?

    Just wondering.
    Emotion, passions, and desires are, thus peace is not.
    Emotion: you have it or it has you.

    Sillyness and slapstick (whom go hand in hand oft times). And ultra violence, aways bring a smile to my face.

    This for example has all three! (I find it quite hilarious)

    So dry that it's rarely seen as humourous. Either that or positively ludicrous.

    Satire and sarcasm. I know a guy who has the driest sense of humour, hilarious! I used to like slap-stick, but not really anymore.

    The kind that makes me laugh, but it is funny how country's have different types of humor.

    I think,

    American humor, self-relativating, lots of irony, kinda vulgar.

    French humor, situational absurdism

    Dutch humor, multi-layered, agressive and vulgar, but unlike americans we make fun of others isntead of ourselves.

    German humor, the french variety, but more subtle, holding back.

    English humor, situational nonsensesicalism, lots of irony.

    Extremely politically incorrect humor is my style and staple. On the Internet, the humor I like is the kind of humor (and sites) that would get me warned on here

    And, of course, Jewish ashkenazi humor: extreme cynicism. Hey, can't help it after two milennia of oppression, eh?

    I like it dry, absurd, ironic and satiric sometimes sarcastic (but not to much of it). I also like running jokes a lot.

    Sarcastic is my favourite type of humor. Totally hilarious, I only like. Also dry humour fits me.

    But sarcasm beats everything... Especially if it's witty sarcasm.

    Very dry and sardonic for the most part. I also appreciate the bizarre and unexpected, such as the wisdom of Jack Handey. And I think fusing irony with puns raises both sorts of humor to a higher level.

    Black, satiric, sarcastic, cynical, sadistic, nothing is holy, ironic, dry, angry, nonsensical, weird etc. You know, that kind of humour.

    Anyway, I'm particularly fond of stand-up comedy (mostly Dylan Moran and Bill Hicks), but I laugh at a lot of stuff obviously. I can't stand puns and traditional American comedies (you know, those with Will Smith, Ben Stiller or Jim Carrey) though.

    And I love the site which name I cannot say, according to rules 1 and 2. Some of you might know which site

    Always been a fan of the North Eastern American sense of humor. Comics that rant more than joke around, the Boston and NYC street comedian types.

    Never heard of him. I like absurdity and irony most. Also, a good shock outta nowhere can get me laughing pretty well if its done right. Generally, vulgar humor doesn't impress me as much. A couple examples of ads that I find funny.

    I like intelligent humor. Something that someone has obviously invested time into , preparing it and working on their delivery. Anybody can dance on stage, not everybody can be clever.

    My current favorite is Demetri Martin. If you haven't heard of him, a lot of his stuff is up on youtube. His special "Person." is quite good.

    Yes, I have heard of him if you refer to the Canadian-Indian comedian. There was one show I saw which was very good (as he talked about anybody; whites, blacks, asians, etc.).

    I forgot which one it was and it is the only show from him I saw that I actually enjoyed. I think he's good, but not that good.

    ---

    Black humour is my kind, involving fear, death, and the likes (though there have been enough shows in which I almost entirely (or totally) dislike it).

    Also generally:
    * cynicism
    * wordplay
    * intelligent humour
    * satire (only if done well)
    * stupidity
    Emotion, passions, and desires are, thus peace is not.

    Those rants arent meant to be funny thats just how we are.

    What kind of humor, i dont know you ever laugh when you see someone fall and get injured? Not the nervous laugh from anxiety hoping that it isnt serious, but the "wow that looked funny, what a dumb ####" type of laugh.

    thats my brand, I'll be at the improv through next week, tickets at the door are 20.00 but for you its 22.50....
    There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.
