What makes you laugh today? What made you laugh in the past? Surely some stay the same, but what has changed? Also just for clarification, I don’t count childhood only because we all had a childish sense of humor and no 4 year old would understand sketch comedy or stuff that goes over their head. I used to really like Family Guy, Archer and stuff like that. Over time I feel like I got over the “Airplane” style of comedy in which every 3 seconds, there’s a joke. I started to get more into shows that were more quality over quantity in terms of jokes. I started watching Curb Your Enthusiasm and Portlandia and stuff like that. I feel like Tim&Eric, Portlandia Eric Andre and Dr. Steve Brule made my sense of humor so weird lmao. I adore weird characters that seem to live in their own World separate from our own. Just the way they interact with ordinary people and to see how oddly a person can respond to normal situations cracks me up. Also shoutout to “Off The Air” on Adult Swim. I also really love sketch comedies like Wkuk, Chappelle show and Key and Peele, also Monty Python on occasion. What do y’all like? Anything recommendations that transformed your sense of humor?
I like “edgy” jokes and humor, but not necessarily humor that is edgy or dark for no reason, I like it to have a point.
I love dirty and sexual innuendos, and I constantly am on the lookout for the right opportunity to say “that’s what she said.”
I have a guilty pleasure need for “OMG XD so random humor”
Also slapstick or mean-spirited humor, but in limited amounts. Like the show Archer.
I also begrudgingly like humor based on stereotypes, mainly subverting them.
As someone who is multi-racial Latino, Jewish, Indigenous, German and Aztec, I like the occasional racial joke, but only if the person saying the joke is actually trying to be funny and not masking their racism, or is subverting the expected punchline.
For instance:
"What do you call a Latino police officer?
A pig, you racist bastard."
I also admit that fucked up humor like that is my guilty pleasure, I watch plenty of Tosh.0 when I have nothing else to watch
I prefer Ridiculousness.
