What's Your Humor Style?

[cathmc]

Meshou posted this link in another thread about how to be funny. I thought it was a great test so I poached it to start a thread here.
http://hokev.brinkster.net/quiz/default.asp?quiz=Better+Humor&page=1

Will post my results separately...

[cathmc]

My results:
You are a SYT--Sunny Dry Traditional. This makes you a Sophisticate.

You like conservative humor -- implied rather than explicit, and a well- timed eyebrow raise rather than a punchline. You're exactly the right kind of funny a well-bred hostess would want at her functions. You might be Jewish.

You're not afraid of a risque joke -- you just don't often make them. This means that people may keep it squeaky clean around you, and that when you do work blue it's super too so funny.

You're like Jon Stewart on that fake cover of the public domain Victorian erotica textbook in the back of America. You should get that book. You'll think it's funny as hell.

You might like The Daily Show, Remember Wenn and when Hamlet says, "Do you think I meant country matters?" You would snigger thyself all the way to the buttery bar.

Of the 19820 people who have taken this quiz, 26 % are this type.

Your Active humor score of 2/10 means you are too shy shy. Hush hush, hide-away. You could really unload a can of whoop-ass hilarity on anyone -- anyone receptive to humor at all -- but the sneaky thing here is you don't really care. You don't feel the need to be the center of attention, so you hold the big guns in reserve until the right moment. In a world full of people who think they're funnier than they are, you're exactly as funny as you want to be. Um, regardless of whether anybody else ever takes notice.
----------------------------------
I would agree that my humor is Sunny as opposed to dark, and dry as opposed to gross...not sure about traditional as oppossed to offbeat...
I love that it says I may be Jewish. I'm not, but some of my funniest friends are.

[Vagabond]

You are a DGT--Dark Gross Traditional. This makes you a Prankster.

Comedy for you is when a person is kept in the most discomfort for the longest period of time. This means practical jokes, pranks, and sticking a hair up a sleeping person's nose so he slaps himself awake.

You are probably locked in some terrifying practical joke one-ups-manship with a like- minded soul. You are also probably a dude.

You are able to acknowledge that Dumb and Dumber was a good movie, and that makes you a good person.

You might like Meet the Parents, Punk'd, and that part in Bruce Campbell's If Chins Could Kill where he convinces a friend that his car has been shoved off a cliff. I'm not describing this adequately. You got to read it.

Of the 19823 people who have taken this quiz, 13.6 % are this type.

Totally off. I *hate* pranks. I never make them and I hate to see people make them. Dumb and dumber was um... dumb. Oh, and I am definitely not a dude, lol.

You are a SGO--Sunny Gross Offbeat. This makes you a Wild One.

You have a laid-back approach to life, and your humor reflects that. What you think is funny is so broad and appealing that you can get a chuckle out of almost anybody. You're never offensive -- until you want to be.

It takes someone a while to get to know you and appreciate your point-of-view, but when you make friends they tend to be for life. You're the type of person who doesn't lose touch with friends after you get married. Rare. Rarely rare rare.

You might have some kind of semi-serious chronic health problem, or had an intense illness in the past. This experience has made sure you don't take life too seriously, and it's given you a down-to-earth perspective about your body.

You like porn. Kind of a lot. Not in a bad way, but yeah.

You might like Farrelly Brothers movies, Jim Carrey movies and stuff. You haven't liked what Ben Stiller's been doing for a lo-o-ong time.

Of the 19824 people who have taken this quiz, 6 % are this type.

Your Active humor score of 4/10 means you're a yellow dash of comedy down the middle of the humorous road. You prefer to listen than to be the center of attention, inserting funny observations and comments rather than driving the herd. That's cool. Just remember that the quantity of funny you provide tends to make people think you're up to something.

You are a SGT--Sunny Gross Traditional. This makes you a John Hughes.

Your sense of humor makes you the ultimate every- person, just I'm-a try not to trouble nobody. You're laid back. Like la-a-a-aid back. You might be from the Midwest.

You enjoy the occasional weird or dark humor, and the right joke out of nowhere can really make you laugh out loud. In fact, the funniest stuff for you is the stuff that takes you off guard. If you can see it coming, you don't want to see it arrive.

You probably don't think this site is all that funny. So it's weird that you're here. I appreciate it, though. Maybe I'll cut back on the ranting and say something nice for a change.

Your Active humor score of 8/10 means you are a comic house on fire. You are Def Comedy Jam (for the first five minutes, before it becomes repetitive and degrading). You are a library of witty rejoinders, in-jokes, ad-libs and meatballs. Yeah, I said meatballs. They're underrated.

The trick for you is to ease yourself into a situation, since you have the capacity to dominate. If you're socially well-adjusted, you're awesome. If you're kind of nervous and twitchy like Daniel Radcliff in the Prisoner of Azkaban special features, then there can be trouble.

You are a DYT--Dark Dry Traditional. This makes you a Cynic.

You're a realist. You'll take the piss out of anything, and do it with style and a skinny gray tie. You find humor in the mundane. When the mundane is thousands of working class families watching their retirement savings get snarfed by unpunished white collar bandits, that REALLY gets the larfs.

You bring humor with you, and can flip over any situation to find the tender funny underbelly.

Incidentally, you're better equipped than anyone else to shake off the bad things happen to you. Mysterious lump? You've seen scarier lumps in your garlic cheesey grits. It seems like nothing makes you truly happy, but nothing really upsets you, either.

Your comic sensibility was more in tune with the eighties. But cross your fingers -- another coupla years of Bush and maybe we'll work up a nice Reagan-era national bitterness again. A sardonic orange cat will once again rule the newsprint, and Springsteen'll write more righteous Jersey retro-cock-rock anthems for the progressive pols of 2024 to cold gank. What's past is prologue!

You might like David Letterman, or maybe stay up to see if Conan has another "Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage."

You are a DGO--Dark Gross Offbeat. This makes you a Fanboy/Fangirl.

You like the strange, the random and the slightly upsetting. You'd like Monty Python better if they were all Terry Gilliam. If it's got references to stuff you thought only you knew about, like Fletch Lives, Nutella, or the Filmation Ghostbusters, you are prepared to pee.

Your humor is wasted on people who aren't paying attention. Just smile and nod and save your best stuff for that female friend who knows who Red Hot Riding Hood is.

You might like almost anything non-anime on Adult Swim, particularly Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Harvey Birdman and Sealab 2021. You might really really like the "Oh... my GOD" impression of Debbie DuPree I do when I've had a coupla Yuenglings.

Of the 19869 people who have taken this quiz, 3.9 % are this type.

Your Active humor score of 6/10 means you are ju-u-ust right. You're probably pretty popular -- a walking social lubricant. You know how to take someone from on edge to relaxed, and from relaxed to larfing. You're kind of like an episode of Arrested Development. That show is good. Anyway. Rave on, funny one.

I'm also "DGO". The only question I found relevant was the funniest Seinfeld character. I picked George, of course.

You are a DYO--Dark Dry Offbeat. This makes you a Neurotic.

You are acerbic, cynical and can smile while you're tearing someone apart. You efface others as you would be effaced yourself, and no topic is taboo -- rape, renal failure, the Challenger explosion (Christa McAuliffe so-o-o had it coming). You like characters as quirky and upsetting as yourself. You are Dorothy Parker minus the Ayn Rand aesthetic. I have some friends like you, and they're funny as all hell.

You would watch The Day After and heckle the fashion.

You might like Seinfeld (and Curb Your Enthusiasm), the Fey/Fallon Weekend Update segments, Mean Girls, and anything Michael Ian Black is doing (VH-1 specials, Viva Variety, The State, flossing).

You would never use humor to hurt somebody. You start slow and finish big, sometimes dropping little humor bombs no one gets until later. You know how people are always like, "Hey, you should invite so-and-so." You're so-and-so.

You might like Mystery Science Theater 3000, A Fish Called Wanda and the following story (stop me if you've heard this one):

My boyfriend and I were touring Ireland in a rental car. Every time he saw castle ruins, which was about every hundred yards, he'd say, "Look at that castle! It's RUINED!" He was totally SYO. I shoulda tapped dat sh1t. (Story reprinted from article talkback.)

I picked Kramer. George is funny, I mean they all are, but Kramer is such a spaz and spazs' are funny.

I didn't mind the test. It catered to the test maker's (like all tests) sense of humor. I still don't know what "larfing" is.

And see that, "Walking Social Lubricant"? Remember that.

You might have some kind of semi-serious chronic health problem, or had an intense illness in the past. This experience has made sure you don't take life too seriously, and it's given you a down-to-earth perspective about your body.

You like porn. Kind of a lot. Not in a bad way, but yeah.

You might like Farrelly Brothers movies, Jim Carrey movies and stuff. You haven't liked what Ben Stiller's been doing for a lo-o-ong time



--- last paragraph is quite correct.

You are a DYO--Dark Dry Offbeat. This makes you a Neurotic.

You are acerbic, cynical and can smile while you're tearing someone apart. You efface others as you would be effaced yourself, and no topic is taboo -- rape, renal failure, the Challenger explosion (Christa McAuliffe so-o-o had it coming). You like characters as quirky and upsetting as yourself. You are Dorothy Parker minus the Ayn Rand aesthetic. I have some friends like you, and they're funny as all hell.

You would watch The Day After and heckle the fashion.

You might like Seinfeld (and Curb Your Enthusiasm), the Fey/Fallon Weekend Update segments, Mean Girls, and anything Michael Ian Black is doing (VH-1 specials, Viva Variety, The State, flossing).

Of the 20096 people who have taken this quiz, 3.4 % are this type.

Your Active humor score of 5/10 means you're a yellow dash of comedy down the middle of the humorous road. You prefer to listen than to be the center of attention, inserting funny observations and comments rather than driving the herd. That's cool. Just remember that the quantity of funny you provide tends to make people think you're up to something.

You are a DYT--Dark Dry Traditional. This makes you a Cynic.

You're a realist. You'll take the piss out of anything, and do it with style and a skinny gray tie. You find humor in the mundane. When the mundane is thousands of working class families watching their retirement savings get snarfed by unpunished white collar bandits, that REALLY gets the larfs.

You bring humor with you, and can flip over any situation to find the tender funny underbelly.

Incidentally, you're better equipped than anyone else to shake off the bad things happen to you. Mysterious lump? You've seen scarier lumps in your garlic cheesey grits. It seems like nothing makes you truly happy, but nothing really upsets you, either.

Your comic sensibility was more in tune with the eighties. But cross your fingers -- another coupla years of Bush and maybe we'll work up a nice Reagan-era national bitterness again. A sardonic orange cat will once again rule the newsprint, and Springsteen'll write more righteous Jersey retro-cock-rock anthems for the progressive pols of 2024 to cold gank. What's past is prologue!

You might like David Letterman, or maybe stay up to see if Conan has another "Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage."

Of the 20147 people who have taken this quiz, 10.1 % are this type.

Your Active humor score of 1/10 means you are too shy shy. Hush hush, hide-away. You could really unload a can of whoop-ass hilarity on anyone -- anyone receptive to humor at all -- but the sneaky thing here is you don't really care. You don't feel the need to be the center of attention, so you hold the big guns in reserve until the right moment. In a world full of people who think they're funnier than they are, you're exactly as funny as you want to be. Um, regardless of whether anybody else ever takes notice.

You are a SYO--Sunny Dry Offbeat. This makes you a Sly Boots.

You are the cutest! You come off so nice and sweet that people don't think you'll be funny, and then SHA-POW you're pouring the Beringer and making gentle but searingly accurate fun of the people you work with.

If there isn't one of your type at a party, then I don't want to go.

You would never use humor to hurt somebody. You start slow and finish big, sometimes dropping little humor bombs no one gets until later. You know how people are always like, "Hey, you should invite so-and-so." You're so-and-so.

You might like Mystery Science Theater 3000, A Fish Called Wanda and the following story (stop me if you've heard this one):

My boyfriend and I were touring Ireland in a rental car. Every time he saw castle ruins, which was about every hundred yards, he'd say, "Look at that castle! It's RUINED!" He was totally SYO. I shoulda tapped dat sh1t. (Story reprinted from article talkback.)

Okay then. this reminds me of a funny story I have, I'll tell it if anyone wants to hear. It made my friend hurt from laughter...

You are a SGT--Sunny Gross Traditional. This makes you a John Hughes.

Your sense of humor makes you the ultimate every- person, just I'm-a try not to trouble nobody. You're laid back. Like la-a-a-aid back. You might be from the Midwest.

You enjoy the occasional weird or dark humor, and the right joke out of nowhere can really make you laugh out loud. In fact, the funniest stuff for you is the stuff that takes you off guard. If you can see it coming, you don't want to see it arrive.

You probably don't think this site is all that funny. So it's weird that you're here. I appreciate it, though. Maybe I'll cut back on the ranting and say something nice for a change.

Diagnosis not quite right? Now that you've taken the quiz, you can view the Humor key. If you have any attributes that are on the cusp, check out the Humor that complements that attribute (in other words, if you're an SGO but only 6/10 Gross, take a look at SYO.)

Write down what Humor composite this quiz has given you, because viewing the key will erase your score.
