Sarcasm is a form of humour. The best kind!
oh yeah right!

All the above, Twisted humor fightclub style is the best!

Randomness and philosphocal logical humor.

sarcasm and dark humor for me.

wit, sarcasm, sharp humour, randomness, toilet/bodily, quirky/silly


pretty much anything that doesn't put someone down for real/laugh at someone

I'm told I have a very twisted sense of humour. I have an acute sense of irony, plus I find it hilarious when other people's jokes get pulled to pieces; a trait that I've never been able to really justify. Dark humour it is then.

Can someone explain the term "Ivory Tower"? I wikipedia'd it, but it didn't mention humour.

I rare type of humour I engage in when I feel like coming across as dry and elitist. It generally involves making witty references to concepts, writers, or anything similar that anyone who is not an intellectual would not understand. An example (from when I had to give a tour of my college library):
Person A: Are there any fiction books here?
Myself: No; unless you count the works of William Blum. ha ha ha ('ha' must be actually stated, no true laughter).

Fart jokes + violence + stereotypes + sex jokes = :fluffle:

zen humor, where what isn't said gets to you like a ton of bricks, after you think about for a second and you never saw it comming

.../\...

Improv.
Physical comedy.
Stand-up comedy.

Those are my favorites.

I don't even know if that's an official name, it's just the one I thought of.

Does schadenfreude count?

Sarcasm, dry wit, and insults.

I totally agree with you

Political for me.

I can't get enough of politics.

:eek: :sniper:

All types of humor.

And for those of you are too afraid to laugh at racial humor, I suggest a heavy dose of Carlos Mencia (http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/mind_of_mencia/index.jhtml).

more the result of certain types of humour than i type in itself, i think.

i like toilet and random but i don't say bad words and i can't think randomly:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Does this count as Religious, Bigoted or Other?

The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven. At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur,

"Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want in Heaven.

"Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to hang out with God."

St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room and introduced him to God.
God recognized Arthur and commented, "Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley Davidson motorcycle?"

Arthur said, "Yep, that's me."

God said, "Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?"

Arthur was apparently embarrassed, but finally he said, "Excuse me, but aren't You the inventor of woman?"

God said, "Yes."

"Well," said Arthur, "professional to professional, you have some major
design flaws in your invention:

1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusions;
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds;
3. Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much;
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust;
5. And the maintenance costs are enormous!"

"Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there," replied God, "Hold
on."

God went to His Celestial super computer, typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.

"Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God said to Arthur, "but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours."

I like Ivory Tower humor then. I didn't know it had a name...

oh, i thought that was just being a pompous bastard. . .

i like dry humor, slapstick/physical, sarcasm, situational comedy

How about "British &/or Jewish?"

But mostly I like jokes about Pussy Tails... ;) Meaow!

Yeah why weren't sarcasm and wit on that list? :confused:
