How would you describe your sense of humour? Suffering from ads?

if you have any

there are different types of humour. goofy, slapstick, sarcastic, cheesy, campy, sophisticated.

Often people say I have none, but when I'm in public I'm often serious- at least until I've had a drink or two. But it depends on what kind of mood I'm in. When I'm working, I'm usually not joking. But after work I'm less serious.

Anyways mine is probably goofy. I like to say the stupidest things possiblfe for laughs. Even at my own expense. People probalby think I'm an idiot, but I often act like an idiot for laughs.

Put an end to popups!

I like all kinds of humour. No joke offends me. You could give me the most accurate stringing of humorous insults I've ever been dealt in my life and I would laugh.

On the other hand, it seems I can't actually make jokes at all; I'm only good at recieving them. Well, so be it.

nothing but gay or emasculating jokes... we just sit in the classroom or on the stoop all day coming up with clever ways and at clever times to call each other gay or ***** eaters.

thats the urban life... no gang banging or drug dealing... just lots and lots of gay jokes

I can be a sarcastic ass. I'll make fun of anyone and anything, for any reason - the most important one being to get a laugh. I'm usually not serious, though. The trick is deciding if I am or not. Most people don't know, and I like it that way

my humor is bizzare. I can best describe it as visual humor. Its like theoretical stuational humor, where you have to imagine not only the situation, but how everything appears (facial expressions, body language, etc) which i try and describe well, but only like minded people get it. And it only works in person, because i have to use gestures, body language, and facial expressions myself to explain it. its an interesting storey if you dont get it, its funnay as hell if you do

other than that i am sarcastic and goofy, and when all else fails, i fall back on the classic fart humor

I think I'm getting better at laughing at jokes at my own expense. Maybe I'm just channeling Jack Nicholson. Maybe that's why I seem to thing Angelica Huston is a harpy, even though I've never met her.

Kman, you think I sometimes tell funny things unintentionally? I know everything about the human psychee, and how the brain works. I have made algorithms and studied carefully these things. I am doing it on purpose and I am evil about it too. You know, like some of girls who play all innocent and pure, but it's all play to get more meat. Cold and calculated.

Most of the time Im kind of subtle/ironic/sarcastic. I often say things that can be interpreted in 2 or 3 ways ... often I mean it in all 3 ways though
Only very few ppl. can figure out what I just really said and how it was meant.

Maybe about 20% of everything I say is serious. Most of the time its not ... like in my job as a cashier where I say things like "Thank you" and "Hello" ...

At the moment I would probably describe my humour as "drunken". Or "purple monkey dishwasher". But my money would be on "drunken".
