Do things make you laugh that no one else finds funny?

Glad you liked it! What is it about farts that always makes people laugh?

Please roll your tongue.

I don't know, but that's one thing I have in common with NTs

oh no, don't tell me about laughing... or in other words - don't remind me...

i sometimes get this weird laughter which is usually impossible to stop.. it's not a problem when you start laughing while eating dinner with your family - they know that i start to giggle without a reason, so at least it's funny and they start laughing too. there is a problem when i start laughing on the street and i get all sorts of weird looks from other people.. but recently i was embarassed when i started to laugh.. on my uncle's funeral.. fortunately there was my brother who is a very tall guy, so i could hide behind his back, but i think that i'd already got the whole set of shocked glares from some people in that church..

and.. yeah, i tend to laugh WITH a reason too, but it's usually a reason that noone else understands...

lol yes... I find humor of some kind in everything even.... death
most things little ironies or patterns.

Yes I am like this. I will laugh at something that is highly inappropriate to laugh at rather loudly and I find this embarrassing sometimes. The one thing that comes to mind at the moment is when I was out in the centre of Manchester about three years ago. I had just got off the bus at Piccadilly Gardens with a friend and a tram was coming round the corner going towards Piccadilly Gardens tram station. There was a woman who was clearly determined to cross the tram lines and, out of impatience, she tried and ended up standing too close to them as the tram came round the corner. The back end of the tram swung round and hit her, which sent her flying. Luckily she wasn't badly hurt or anything, but at the time I was too busy pointing and laughing to the point where my friend had to physically turn me round and put his hand over my mouth. I felt so embarrased lol, which made me laugh even more!

I can be very dark, "gallows humour" is the term I believe. I'm also self depreciating to a degree that other people find unusual

you're trolling them and are happy that the normalfags are afraid of you.

the term is schandfreude (sp?).

you see it on those sites that catalogue people getting pwned in many various ways (pwned=beat up/defeated/etc)

Inappropriate laughter at inappropriate times.
Funerals and Memorial Services are not my strong point. I break up in hilarity and start doing the fang claw sign at my siblings. That might be acceptable at age 8, but by age 46 it is starting to look a tad eccentric and socially flipped. I have been escorted from places with tears of hilarity streaming down my face.

In rehab, i was dragged out of a very "heavy" house meeting by the legs and feet. I was 36 at the time. Two people had to drag me out of the room. I was in a state of hysterical laughter. At the very least aspects of my eccentricity are entertaining.

I was also known for this in childhood.
it is part of not being able to regulate my emotions properly or in a manner that others do.

Schadenfraude.

If you don't have the same sense of humour as everyone else, then obviously you don't have a sense of humour.

A close friend, who is not AS but is very far from NT, described her sense of humour as "a unique way of committing suicide"; and we have very similar senses of humour (the main difference being her inordinate and inexplicable fondness for horrible puns). Very very few people appreciate, or even understand, my sense of humour. It certainly doesn't help that, although I'm American, much of it is a very dry British humour inherited from my father and grandfather (who was a Yorkshireman). I also have a very dark, "gallows" sense of humour, exacerbated by the time I spent in the military.

i am an admirier of all forms of humor.

I don't think I have this symptom. I seem to laugh at what NTs would laugh at, and vice versa.
