I find it very easy to get a good laugh going.
Over time my sense of humor has not really changed, but it has developed. At a very young age I was attracted to things that don’t make sense, random and chaotic. I remember the very first thing that I found very funny, and that was the term “monkey shit”. I was about 4 years old at the time, but oh boy, the concept “monkey shit” had everything going for it. You may be wondering why I still remember that, and it’s because I marched around all day chanting “monkey shit” over and over again until I got my ass slapped.
As I got a little older I found my self laughing at things that where not only random and chaotic, but also mysterious. For example, by the age of 12, the idea of the teacher oppening the desk draw and finding scorpions or hissing snakes was hilatious to me, as it had a panic and mystery element. The main mystey being, why is my desk full of snakes? eeek!.
Now at the age of 28 I know exactly what I find funny, and that is confusion. Confusion is the greatest source for comedy, and what better way to cause said confusion, than with random chaotic madness.
Get a busy street all running around in a panic, confused at the horrible thing that is coming after them that they dont know what it is, and I’m a happy guy.
I like my comedy aggressive and offensive, and out of the ordinary. I can find word play or political jokes funny, but the thing that always gets me the most, is some good old aggressive confusion induced panic.
If we are sticking to random confusion based comedy, I would say an example of something I find funny is Monty Pithon, Ross Noble, The Mighty Boosh, and things of that nature.
However, despite being such a confusion and chaos fan, I do have a good apetite for pessimistic comedy, as I find it has the added bonus of also insinuating some impending chaos or panic.
My favorite comedians are: George Carlin and Louis CK.
Things that give me belly laughs are usually very offensive, or carry some kind of bad consequence for some real or hypothetical person. Or it could just be something that is dirty in an original way. A recent example would be the joke “My dick is so big that I have a foreskin, a skin, and a post-skin.”
