Most of the time for personal amusement only. Usually a bit silly and a little on the dark side.

I used to be more sensitive, and took everything as serious before I could decipher humor. Now silly things at appropriate times would probably make me laugh, though I have laughed completely spontaneously at random times before.. I get lost in thoughts if I'm bored.

Yes, it is. I can't decide which is my favorite novel: Ubik or A Scanner Darkly.

Cool. I love Philip K. Dick.

My humor: dry, cerebral and sharply observant

Most of the time, off-color and toilet humor. But I appreciate dry humor as well.

My humor is usually random observations and thought streams injected at odd times. Also it is usually extremely dark.

“Deadpan is a form of comic delivery in which humor is presented without a change in emotion or body language, usually speaking in a casual, monotone, solemn, blunt, disgusted or matter-of-fact voice and expressing an unflappably calm, archly insincere or artificially grave demeanor.”

This sounds like me, but usually it is just me being honest because I can't help it. People then find it funny but I suppose they don't always know I am being honest.

I enjoy honesty, and I do find honesty to be humorous, because life is actually pretty funny when I think about it. Unfortunatly, "most" of the world seems to avoid honesty like the plague.

Random, silly, and sometimes dark or bizarre. One of my favorite movies is Young Frankenstein. I also love a book called "The Ghastlycrumb Tinies" by Edward Gorey. Anyone else a fan of either?

Sarcastic, cheesy, and altogether random.

I'd describe my sense of humor as incredibly dark, dry and deadpan. The best way I can sum it up is to say I have a 4chan sense of humor. If you find the stuff that posted there offensive, you wouldn't find my favorite jokes funny.

I took a Sense of Humor quiz on OK Cupid before & my style of humor was termed Idiot Savant :shaking2:

your humor style:
VULGAR | SPONTANEOUS | LIGHT

You like things silly, immediate, and, above all, outrageous. Ixne on the subtle word play, more testicles on fire, please. People like you are the most likely to RECEIVE internet forwards--and also the most likely to save them in a special folder entitled 'HOLY SH!T'.

Because it's so easily appreciated, and often wacky and physical, your sense of humor never ceases to amuse your friends. Most realize that there's a sly intelligence and a knowing wink to your tastes. Your sense of humor could be called 'anti-pretentious'--but paradoxically enough, that indicates you're smarter than most.
