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 dark humor, but not in the bigoted way. For example, I recently found a meme that you kind of have to be a terrible person to laugh at.

    It was one of those “I stand for the flag and kneel for the cross” cheesy over the top memes making fun of burger patriotism. The flag was the flag of Democratic Kampuchea. The cross was a photo of a child being crucified by the Khmer Rouge. The punchline is an irl child crucifixion yet it sends my sides into orbit every time I look at it.

      “I stand for the flag and kneel for the cross”

      My city is littered with stickers with that phrase, displaying a trans flag and a person in a puppy outfit kneeling in front of a trans symbol. I thought that was funny, never knew it was a meme thing.
