What kind of Humor do you have?

Post Reply New Topic

So, here's the question...I think Aspies like Accidental Humor - or maybe it's slapstick comedy...that's the only humor I get. Anyone else?

What other kinds of Humor is there?

Dry ----- Irony; using words to express something completely different from the literal meaning
Sarcastastic ---- ridicule that wounds for laughter
Verbal --- also known as bantar; good-natured teasing back and forth
Oppositional --- extreme sarcasm; ridicule that is often quite merciless, and sometimes very angry
Slapstick ---- comedy involving exaggerated physical violence or activities.

I feel like I'm more of a dry humor person, but all my friends say that I'm just extremely sarcastic.

Dry, Irony. It's my favorite kind! Verbal is also included.

Dry

I've been told my sense of humour is very dry. I also like to use sarcasm whenever I get the opportunity.

Probably like my curiousity. Morbid and/or sick.

None of the above. People describe my sense of humour as "off the wall". It's a combination of bad puns, odd juxtapositions, and just plain weirdness.

A joke that best illustrates this kind of humour:

Q. What's green, has eight legs, and would kill you if it fell on you from out of a tree?
A. A billiard table.

I like morbid/sick too, also called 'gallows humour' sometimes.

I love Woody Allen, and Groucho Marx. What kind of humour would you call that?

I'm not very good with sarcasm, it takes too long for me to unravel it.

I have a dry sense of humor.

@Starr - Love gallows humor, too.

I like dry humor. I am American, but prefer British humor because it is dry, situational, and observation. German humor is much the same way. I have seen videos of humorous incidents from Germany and the internet and they are hilarious.

I'm into dry humor most times. Gary Larsen's "The Far Side" is an example of my favorite brand
of humor, check out my last post at "Post Something Silly" thread. I ABSOLUTELY DETEST malicious
humor intended to injure the dignity or self worth of another person.
