Aspie Sense of Humor?

Post Reply New Topic

I do have a couple of inside jokes at work...

I made this... ridiculous faux pas.... where I assumed two people punching each other in the arm indicated that they were married, and asked if I had just witnessed spousal abuse.

So the girl whom I assumed was married to the guy she was punching.... every time she sees me, she says 'HOMIES' and I say
'Punch each other'!


There is also a guy I work with that says 'I'll be right black' before he goes on break, and I came up with 'all wh***y then'

Yes, I still exist!

Registred some time agon (years?) any, I never posted before here but as one ever should is what I'm doing right now. [never used the backspace-key so much for one sentence :S]

I suppose Aspies or Aspergians or just Logical Beeings (Supposing it happens to other kinds of mammels as well) have their very own uniqe form of humor. I recently met another aspie which could not grasp the fact that his girlfriend fel for me instead of him. Although I wasn't aware of their relationship at the moment it happend and all but when he found out (I was still living in the dark) he simply broke my nose and eye socket.

Now, you must understand I hate violance so I didn't fight back (which was hard anyway since all the blood dripping into my eyes) I went to the police the very next morning. There I told them this story (including a lot more detail than needed but I had more than a year to overthink it al since this all) which made them hunt him down and give him onehunderd (100) hours of volunteer work.

This started about 11 months after the incident and no more than 2 hours a day, at most 5 days a week.

So It took this guy 10 weeks at least to remember the fact that he should not act on pure basal insticts. And The fact he will remember this for the rest of his live, made me laugh afterwards.

Well, that is what humor can be to an aspie.

(too bad it happened to another aspie since this was the second other aspie I ever met)

I generate some lulz....

I really should replace that avatar. That one is dated 2004

I've been told quite a few times that I'm very quick witted and have a good sense of humour, so unless I've been wrongly diagnosed, I think it's fair to say aspies have senses of humour. Though technically im not at an aspie... (HFA)

EDIT: As seems to be the majority case here: It's very dry sarcasm. Often times quite dark too. And I ahve lot sof times where I've burst out laughing but no-one else understands. Whether that's the autism or not though, I don't know.

The majority of my jokes are planned before i say them. I steer the converstaion to make the joke. But some, ironically some of the best ones, are spur of the moment. Don't know if this emans anything.

It does mean. It really does mean a lot. All the humor is based in the moment but the way of recieving it might be different to anyone which solely explains why you or me can laugh ridiculesly in the eyes of others who can laugh while you and/or I don't get it (yet).

Basicly humor is the same for all since there is just a thin line between emotional humor and logical humor. To me it's just merely 24 seconds.

That is yet another popular myth. I do have a sense of humor and enjoy telling and hearing jokes. I enjoy things that make me laugh and I like funny people. And I'm not always dark or sarcastic either! But when I do laugh at something I often think "Uh-oh, I laughed. Was that wrong?"

I don't have a sense of humor.

I find that I'm unintentionally funny --- I'll say things that I think are just casual responses or observations and people laugh. At times when I have tried to be funny, though, it often falls flat.

My sense of humor comes from taking things literally. I will hear/read something that sounds normal using common sense (or is just a mistake) and I will start laughing due to the absurd spotted.

For example recently I laughed at this:

Apparently the shop I was shopping in was giving out some travel bags for free (00,00zł), as it's "Birthday" promotion. At least that's what the sign said. The real price was 180zł.

Sometimes I will also find something funny and have a hard time explaining why. For example yestarday I heard a monologue of a woman in public restroom, while washing hands of a 1,5 year old girl:
- We did it! We did hold it in and pee properly! Thanks to the nice lady that let us in before her... Well... actually we kind of pushed in in front of her so it not like she had any choice.
At the moment I bursted in laughing. Imagining her running into the restroom stall with the girl in hands, pushing another woman away was just too much for me to keep a straight face. I still don't know why I found it so funny though - there was just "something" in the way she said it.

I have a good sense of humor but that depends of the spectrum of the humor, and people's interests and types of humors, too.
I mean, I could joke about video games but when I meet people who love sports then I know there is no room for joking about video games

Oh yes, I've been told that I have such novel ways of amusing myself (which in itself gets laughs).

Inventing new words, to silly puns seemingly pulled "out-of the blue," and yes, even a few useful suggestions might just be a common Asperger trait.

Has anybody been told that they sound like a modern-day Mark Twain?
