Describe Your Sense of Humor (page 2)

Dry humor has never tickled my funny bone all that much. I can think it's funny in small doses but I do enjoy sarcasm. One of my favorite comedians is Jackie Mason. I LOVE Jewish humor.

Did you hear what the jewish pedifile said to the kids?

"Hey! easy on the candy"

AWAKE&WATCHING

Now you see why we were all glad to see Priest go.

Priest, I LIKE it!

I think a bit of swearing can be funny if it's said just the right way. I don't think hearing a gang-banger say the F word a million times in a sentence is funny.

Margaret Cho is very funny, esp. when she imitates her parents.

Bill Cosby was quite boring to me. Chris Rock can be a hoot. In Boston, Steve Sweeny does his Irish roots act so well, you can't help but laugh out loud. Gilbert Gottfried has had me in stiches. He delivers his lines with a whine and he looks likes he's blind by the way he closes his eyes almost shut while he delivers the long punchline.

Dry humor is sarcasm, min.

It's not meant to tickle your funny bone, it's meant to challenge and reward your own wit, for if you don't "get" it, you weren't worthy of it.

What a happy coincidence that you enjoy it in small doses, because that's how it's most often distributed.

I do like your sense of humor, min. That "thinking man's" stuff is highly overrated.

Dry and lovingly sarcastic. I have noticed the Brits on the forum catch some of my jokes while they skate pass others. I communicate on forums the same way I do in real life, some get it and some don't.

NVR, the Brits are known for their very dry humor. They are not necessarily sarcastic. I'm sorry I have to explain by examples but I know this might be the only way you can see the distinction, you being a thinking man and all.

I have more of a goofy, slapstick type of humor.

Yes, I know about the Brits.

Dry humor is by definition sarcastic.

Sorry I have to explain it to you, you being minimus and all.

Perhaps you'd like to brush up on your definition of sarcasm and /or irony.

I have more of a goofy, slapstick type of humor.

I think R.F. gets it.

There is slapstick or "banana peel" humor, that is begging for a laugh.

Dry humor relies on sarcasm or irony to deliver a small dose of internal laughter after a moment's reflection.

I think I have an overdeveloped sense of humor. I tend to look for the funny in any situation even when there is any to be found. I tend to gravitate to people that do the same.

It's one of the things that assisted with my exit from the jw's. My bullshitometer (pronounced in my accent bullshi-TOM-etter, not bull shit 'o' meet her) is finely tuned through years of overuse.

Well, that and the fact I still like to point to someone's chest like they have a spill there and then poke them in the nose. You do that to very many elder's wives and they tend to get upset.
