I have a thing for Star Wars parodies, in fact one of my favorite aspects of Family Guy is thier usage of jokes referring to Star Wars. I love the SW parodies Family Guy and Robot Chicken do.


Lego Darth Vader in the cafeteria?

I like good parody, too.
I like the subtle irony of Stanislaw Lem in his writings, say, Ijon Tichy stories, Cyberiad, Solaris, Eden.
I like Pierre Richard movies, and the way he parodies.

I like most kinds of humor, but my personal sense of humor is dry and sarcastic.

I like wordplay. I also like gallows humor. I like all sorts of unexpected reversals and juxtapositions.

I find a lot of things funny, but these are a couple of examples.

Bad puns, mixed metaphors, and unfortunate typos! Love 'em!! :D

Edit: Oh, and just weird stuff with words. My brother (who I suspect is either on the spectrum too or really close to it) and I started this so-lame-it's-funny theme when we went camping and kept it up the entire time. We kept talking about the "vegetables" of our tents and making "vestibule" soup for supper. We're lucky our significant others didn't strangle us both. :lol:

A friend consistently refers to 'mixed vegetables' as 'vexed migetables' instead.
He is brilliant at Spoonerisms and can hold a conversation in them, on-the-fly.

Sarcasm, parody, and obscure. Here are two obscure examples.

1) Why do programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because Oct 31 == Dec 25.

2) Thoreau wrote a joke in Walden. He grew beans to sell and experiment in self sufficiency. So he jokes that he had no intent of eating them on account of being a Pythagorean. (That on has layers and layers of obscurity but is wonderful if you get it.)
