Humor question

Post Reply New Topic

I'm wondering if i am not the only one who get's and understands a lot of the British humor other words known as dry humor
its like i struggle with parts or pieces but for the most part i get a lot of it. Other humor im blind to most of the time unless someone teaches me it takes time but ill end up sooner or later getting it though its never to funny depending on the type.
so am i the only one who seems to get British humor? i wonder if others do here too im sure they do...but i wonder.
don't mind me.

I understand dry humor as well. LIkely because my dad, and the uncles & aunts on his side of the family, all had very dry senses of humor (they're 2nd gen. Irish-Americans, for context.) I also have several data points indicating that ASD was rampant on that side of the family. I wonder if there's a correlation.

But, since making people laugh was an easy in-road to acceptance, I studied comedy fairly diligently. I can now also do (and understand) absurd, observational & misdirection humor. I still don't get/appreciate the slapstick humor (The Three Stooges, etc.)

Same here i'm not 100% what that type of humor is but when i looked it up it gave an example like like hitting eachoter but with no pain, i watched a movie like that i never got it :l it was funny sometimes though.

I think it was Aspergian geeks and nerds who popularized Monty Python's Flying Circus in the US. When PBS started running Python in the 70s, Nuerotypical kids were not the ones watching Public Broadcasting after school and they certainly weren't the ones going to school the next day singing The Spam Song and exclaiming "NoOoOOo ONE expects the Spanish Inquisition!"

You know, I don't hate that theory; it feels like it has some stickiness to it. Perhaps I'm biased, though, since that was me singing The Spam Song at school. As a data point, I loved Monty Python and only found it because my dad & I were both PBS viewers.

Monty Python and Douglas Adams type humor really appeals to me and others I know who have aspie type traits (no idea if they are or not).
