Aspie sense of humor?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm sure people with AS have a sense of humor as varied as everyone else.

I used to be dramatically lacking in the humor department as a child, but I think I've made-up for it.
Satire, observational comedy, absurdism and dark humor appeal to me the most. While slapstick and shock-tactic styles don't work for me at all.

I can't stand stupid humor or physical humor, but I find the stuff on "South Park" hilarious for some reason. I'm just weird like that.

If your tired enough, but can focus on the oddities in it, the lord of the rings trilogy is the best comedy movie ever.... History of the World with Mel Brookes was an amazing comedy...

The first straight marriage: (caveman beats a cave woman and drags her into a cave)

First gay marriage: (caveman beats a caveman over the head and drags him into a cave)

M*A*S*H!

Monty Python's Flying Circus, 'Allo 'Allo, Are You Being Served, Please Sir, Absolutely Fabulous...
You get it right?
I love British Comedy.
I find pretty much anything funny. I find myself laughing at stand up comedy. Seinfeld (as in the comedian) still isn't funny to me.

Dane Cook isn't isn't funny at all. Except one very stupid thing he did with the koolaid man, but that is it.

I'm not very fond of jokes, and when I tell one to an NT (well, i have only NTs in my school, I'm the only one with AS, like most of you), he doesn't laugh at all...
Thus I think that Aspies have a particular sense of humour :

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand Binary, and those who don't...
(This joke can also be found in Informatics Communities)

I have my own sense of humor. I like blonde jokes, any jokes that I can get. I like the humor in South park and The Simpsons even though I don't really laugh. I have liked the humor in The Stupids, All That, SNL, and parodies.


I also like aspie jokes and NT jokes.


I have done jokes and they sometimes offend. Like the time my mother and I were in London and she was walking too slow so I said "We should get you a wheel chair so we can get to places faster." She got mad and yelled at me. That still cracks me up every time I think about it and am laughing out loud right now. Now she agrees it's funny too and her excuse is she was having a hard time then so she didn't find it funny. I think she just took it too seriously and couldn't understand it was a joke then.

I don't find obvious logical fallacies funny, other than that things can be funny such as good comedians like Bill Hicks ect.

Office Space is a hilarious movie, I can't see why an aspie would find it boring nor any NT.

my sence of humor is out of this world but is usually funny. sometimes im the only one who gets it

I have a VERY narrow sense of humor. I have difficulty laughing at even the most popular comedies.

However, here are a few things that made me laugh hard.

House MD. Not exactly my favorite show, but boy do I find it funny at times, especially in the first two seasons.

Frasier. The only comedy series that constantly makes me laugh with it's very sophisticated, yet easy to catch humor. I highly recommend it.

Seinfeld. Most of the time, I find it unfunny. But every two episodes or so there's a moment that makes me explode with laughter.


Movies: Airplane and The Naked Gun trilogy. Completely absurd sense of humor that catches you off guard most of the time.

As I told it before, Aspie might have a particular sense of humour.
But I hate people who make fun of a religion, a race or a gender by jokes.
These jokes are made on stereotypes, I hate them.
