"random" sense of humor?

Post Reply New Topic

back when "random"/"surreal"(?) humor was more widespread, did that kind of humor just become anyone else's main sense of humor? I feel like it still is mine, and it's a bit embarrassing because most of my peers have a more complex and "mature" sense of humor. so the stuff that's super funny to me isn't funny to them and the stuff that's super funny to them isn't very funny to me.

hopefully this made sense.

Hi, nice to meet you.
My sense of humor was absent when I was little, I worked on it a lot. I think until my 20s.
Now it's developed.
But it's different from the NT norm, generally my jokes are sarcastic or imaginative. So much so that sometimes I have to explain it.
In a sarcastic way I could write that if a person has to explain that they are joking then they themselves become ridiculous.
They will not have achieved their aim, and they will not have communicated anything immediately.
Irony and sarcasm are different. Many autistics do not understand irony. While many autistics understand sarcasm very well

The effectiveness of communicating a humorous, sarcastic and ironic thought is in fact immediacy. Sometimes I succeed.
Other times I don't. And I have to explain.
Exactly in those moments a part of me smiles, because I think I thought of something funny, but the other part regrets because I wasn't actually able to make it effective.

All the things I wrote include the fact that without that people don't listen to you in a profound way.
In the nation there are and have been astute people. One was a politician.
A leader of the government and often a Minister.
He was a political Highlander.
Very fond of the USA and very attentive to his European colleagues.
Once he was head of the 1981 Government, and one of his collaborators was chosen as an innovator.

He was so good that he brought us among the top 5 powers in the world.

Only that we annoyed Germany whose Chancellor asked that West Germany bothered us.

It was us. He asked for the resignation of this innovator.

Giulio Andreotti did so.

To a question about why he didn't love Germany, he replied: -"I love Germany so much that I even want two!"

Sarcastic phrase.

Because there were two of them but if they had joined together they would have given us economic problems.

Uniforms were better for us.

Another of his phrases as a young man on the bus.

They stepped on his foot very intensely.

The person apologized! He replied: - but what excuses and excuses... the other was sorry, then the whole bus burst out laughing because the other asked him how he was.

And he replied: -Actually... I was much better before!" He spent his whole life like this .A very high IQ, an enormous culture, an enormous political ability. And a sense of humor that even his detractors liked. One of his sarcastic phrases was: - "power wears out those who don't have it!" Power belonged to the few and he was one of those few, the others suffered from it and he knew it. Among other things, I think he was autistic, but he has no diagnosis.

It's not in your language, you won't understand.

But there is automatic translation(?).

He did things perfectly, he was a political worker who didn't even sleep at night.

But he had a hilarious sense of humor. Keep in mind that those who asked him questions were comedians, one was an imitator of his and among other things he also voiced Woody Allen with whom they were friends:

Wacky humour has been around for a long time, and seemed very popular in the 1960s and 70s, with comedy shows such as Monty Python. I often like such humour myself, but it's important to know your audience's tastes if you're thinking of entertaining them with it. I got it wrong a time or two and they probably just thought I was weird.

When I'm unimpressed by comedy it's often because it's just re-hashing tired old gags, or not clever enough for me.

My humor definitely falls into the random, weired or absurd category. My neurotypical friends usually enjoy it, or they have been consistently polite in pretending to enjoy it. I take things at face value, so I wouldn't know. I have heard people respond "that's random ".

I would interpret "random" as meaning not related to whats being conversed about, or related to whatever situation you and the folks you are with are involved in (like at work).

So if you start laughing to yourself...then you hafta explain why your laughing...and then you have to explain why happened to be thinking about the thing you're laughing about...which may mean you would have to go through the whole chain of thought that led to it...which may have actually started with something going right there at work but wen down a long thought rabbit hole.
