What kind of funny are you?

Asked by daytonamisticrip (4859points) December 16th, 2010

Do you crack mildly funny jokes all the time or hysterically funny ones once in a while? Do you purposely make people laugh or do you sit there looking at everyone saying ” what’s so funny, what did I say”? Are you the joking kind of funny or the prankster kind of funny? Or are you the accident prone one who gets laughed at? What kind of funny are you and what got the most laughs?

Accident prone that gets laughed at…that has never changed. My husband and friends seem to think I am funny. I’m just trying to get through my day, usually. I find a lot of humor in my children and life. And I love to laugh, out loud. Without regret.

Dry, sarcastic, subtle humor. I’m usually the one with a smart-ass line that I toss in, rather than overt comedy. It’s part of the reason why, online, I don’t always come across as charismatic as I am in real life.. a lot of my humor depends on timing, tone of voice, accent, facial expressions, etc. I’m an excellent mimic and I love playing with language for comedic effect. I’m always, always trying to make other people laugh and depending on my comfort level with the person, I can get extremely goofy and weird.

I’d say I’m a Chandler Bing or maybe a Seinfeld.

I’m the Random Ass kind of funny.

I used to do stand up. The say that a salesperson will knock on 10 doors to make one sale, and I think telling jokes is rather like that. Eventually you figure out which 10 consistently work and you string them together (hopefully with another 10 just like them).

I make facial expressions and use words that aren’t expected in the context they are being used, and I have a great deal of fun with that (particularly at work). I never make someone else the brunt of any story—if anyone in the story is hapless, it is me.

cute funny..???... I am more of a LOL person, not so much of a funny person, but I love to burst out laughing of any dumb thing…In High School I became “the weirdo” or “the psycho” because of my irrational laughing bursts that could last the entire class or recess.

@MissAnthrope I just fell in love with you all over again!

One liners. My husband can spin a story. I can’t. I’m too concerned about people getting bored (my husband isn’t!) so I don’t give them time to get bored.

@Dutchess_III . . . that’s a shame. i prefer ron white to carrot top.

@Blondesjon I lost you….whisht!!

Sly and sassy puns and one-liners. Sometimes my quick wits get me into trouble when I can’t resist making the joke even if it’s at someone’s expense.

@janbb . . . cheeky cat

@Blondesjon I just watched him last night. Meaning, Ron White. I still have the ”Point Blank Range” going through my head.

Unfortunately, I was stuck on a flight with Carrot Top, many years ago. Still have flashbacks.

I’m a sneak up on you kinda funny. I wait patiently in the background and as soon as I see an opportunity to sneak in pun or joke….BAM!

I also get laughed at a lot because many jokes go over my head, as they say!

I’m so missing something!

MissAnthrope's avatar

@Kayak8 – I didn’t even know you fell in love with me a first time! Squeeee!

My humour is usually based on linguistic subtlety and is not always understood by all. I tell funny stories with the right touch to have folks rolling on the floor with laughter.

SuperMouse's avatar

I’m funny in a Blondesjon/Ucme/AstroChuck kind of way.

filmfann's avatar

What kind of funny am I? Funny in the head.

wundayatta's avatar

Apparently, I have no sense of humor at all. No one ever seems to get it when I’m trying to make a joke, and I never seem to get it when other people are trying to be funny.

Anyway, I make a great straight man. Which, of course, I am.

Blondesjon's avatar

total irony ^^

wundayatta's avatar

Holy shit, @Blondesjon. You are in deep doo-doo. You get me!

TexasDude's avatar

Depends on present company.

I run the gamut from ultra-offensive dead KKK babies on fire to the sardonic, to the British observational.

ratboy's avatar

Strangers point at me and laugh. Frankly, I don’t get it. I’m dismayed and not at all amused when I look in the mirror.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Sorry, @wundayatta , hate to burst your bubble, but @Blondesjon ain’t the only one…

janbb's avatar

@wundayatta Now that time you were funny.

Kayak8's avatar

@wundayatta Try being the lesbian playing the straight man . . . .

I’m the shy and nerdy type. Just a real prude. Everyone just go away and leave me alone. Right now. loll

Dutchess_III's avatar

Yeah, right @BoBo1946. Look at all those women you were playin’ after your surgery! Prude my hiney!

BoBo1946's avatar

LOLL…. love it!

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

The mega sarcastic kind of funny.

comicalmayhem's avatar

Self deprecating, sarcastic, random, nonsense, and awkward.

wundayatta's avatar

Hey @zensky! You’re supposed to put an NSFW on that!
