I definately have a sense of humor, though my NT wife doesn't seem to get it. She claims everybody in the world but me "thinks like her". I DON'T believe her! :lol: hahaha!

There was a young aspie called Dave
Who when wound up could really rave
He would go on and on and on
His obsessions cared for by no one
Often forgetting to wash and bathe

Thanks for reminding me to check xkcd. It screams aspie humor more than anything else I've read on the internet.

I have a sarcastic sense of humour, not necessarily dark. So I don't say jokes well, but I can very quickly think of something funny to say pertaining to the situation. I guess it could be called witty. I don't know whether that's Aspie like.

People often say i'm funny, but i don't think I am. I'm really sarcastic, most people thinks thats funny, some take offence.

I think I have a good sense of humor and I know how to make people laugh. It takes different types of jokes to make different types of people laugh. I've even surprised people by showing that I can even make "mature" jokes and people don't expect that kind of thing from me.

I do have a sense of humour and I usually like satire......as its usually true to an extent and therefore funny. I also have a rather dark sense of humour. If I was watching a Horror movie in a movie theater I would be the person laughing at it. I also really like all the Monty Python movies so whatever that sort of humour is called I do enjoy.

I have a dark sense of humour. And I like dirty jokes they're always funny xD

A man walks into a bar and asks for an Bin Laden.. The bartender asks him "whats a Bin Laden?" The man replies "three shots and a splash of water."

Monty Python can best be described as absurdist or surreal humor. If you like that, try the Mighty Boosh. It's one of my all time favorites.

I make people laugh on occation but im not a funny person in general. I have a habbit of "fake laughing" when people try to be funny. When i "fake laugh" its not because i tell myself to fake it. Its something that happens automatically on most parts. Its socially accepted to laugh at peoples jokes and its wired in me to give them the response they want. Weird, but handy.

I also seem to laugh much more when im social. If im alone i more often laugh inside me or give out a "heh" through pushing air out my nose. On rare occations i rofl.

If stoned i laugh at anything for hours.

Edit; I have alot of intern humor with different friends of mine. With my best friend for instance, we have a very childish and stupid sense of humor. People around us will never understand us and ive noticed a few times that some people even envy this humorus bond we have.

I think I have a sense of humor, though I have also been accused of not having one. I guess I am more likely to get humor that's obvious than subtle. Maybe for me, it also depends on the tone of voice used too.

I must have a good sense of humour because when I'm quiet and upset about something, people are like, ''where's your sense of humour?'' as though they are shocked. I don't get asked that very often, so I must be a good humour person.

I do laugh a lot when with other people. It makes me feel better in myself. Sometimes a bubbly personality can erase a social mistake, shielding your weirdness. That's what I've learnt anyway. It's too complicated to explain.

My cats tell me I'm quite funny, but they may be biased.

I always try at work. I have a great sense of humor (I think)
but I never know if people will scratch their heads or bust up laughing.

Recently, I was at work(retail)... I was stocking near two of my coworkers, and I was listening to a couple of my bosses on the main walkie channel, discussing what to do with a pallet of CLIF bars.

I proclaimed loudly: 'A PALLET OF CLIF BARS? YOU COULD CLIMB LIKE TWELVE MOUNTAINS'!

my coworkers looked at me, and didn't get it.
so I said 'I fail at humor today'
and then they started laughing.

I like to proclaim the obvious, and put things in alternate context.
I often find humor in really mundane scenarios.

We need to form an Aspie Joke Forum, because, I thought it was funny!

You know that version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" played on ukelele? You know it, whether or not you realize it. It has been used a billion times on network TV dramas, when something sad or wistful is happening, like a major character dies, or leaves the show.

I was working in an office with a guy who constantly listens to cheesy music on Pandora, and this song came on, and I said "Oh, s**t! Someone on "ER" is dying!" Everyone looked at me like I was nuts, but I don't even care. Sometimes the best jokes are the ones the stupids don't get.
