What do you find funny?

I love personification. ex: "The streering wheel, feeling restrained by its position on the steering column, decided to liberate itself and made a dash out of the windshield" - when "things" "decide" = funny

People who make me laugh without them saying a word: Gilbert Gottfried, Nigel Planer (as Neil)

Does anyone enjoy slapstick? "Man walks into a bar..." jokes?

Cheap Puns.

The cheaper the better.

bum jokes and blackbooks

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 07:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Really odd stuff that makes me laugh but I don't know why I'm laughing. Examples: Digitiser, Reeves & Mortimer, bits of Adult Swim, Taco The Wonder Dog.

Deaths of celebrities.

Fuck washing a hat.

Also, a sign I saw on a wall next to a chinese restaurant in Frimley.

Yum Yum.
No Parking.

That had me laughing for the rest of the day. But why?

Things that make 5 year olds laugh still make me laugh. Stupid jokes like, "What time does a Chinese dentist open - two thirty"

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 10:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Other people laughing, specially small children. Those little video clips where cats run into walls. Homer Simpson. That old Kit Kat ad with the rollerskating pandas. Stand-up comedy.

I never did like slapstick though. My mother says that when I was a small child I used to cry when Charlie Corelli (is that his name? The clown who used to be on children's telly in the seventies?) was on, because I couldn't understand why they were so mean to each other.

That lightning breathing bear.

Stupid stuff that makes no sense, but isn't trying too hard.

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 15:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Pompousness followed immediately by a twisted compulsive self deprecation or counter-weight device that highlights a failure of some kind to enforce the original pompousness ("You're banned from this museum..and so are your children..and your children's children.......for three months")

Post-modern/satirical sarcasm (Daria's Sick Sad World)

Virtually/seemingly harmless hypocrisy (aware or unaware)

Animals dressed as people

Funny music

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Adults getting over-excited about the most trivial (yet adorable) things e.g. the sort of thing you would expect would delight only a child

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Recontextualising serious subjects to incorporate the suggestion they disguise an absurd paradox in their existence (Hitler wore women's clothes etc.)

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I usually say "absurdism and satire."

Also: Last night, my girlfriend told me to get off the couch I was sitting on. My first response (I have no idea why) was "What couch?" That had me in a giggle fit for a few minutes.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

toilet humor. im easy to please.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

footballers with silly haircuts.

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:05 (twenty-one years ago)

jaymc that's very funny! what do we call that kind of thing? there's something v amusing about someone being oblivious to something quite obvious i suppose, the intentional denial of something so obvious counting for half of that if not more i guess

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Stupid stuff that makes no sense, but isn't trying too hard.

I was trying to find a way to describe what I find funny, and this is just perfect.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Taking everyday situations too far. Listening to someone banging on a water heater like a drum set is mundane. Imagining them punching their fists through a window to mimic the cymbals suddenly makes the whole thing funny.

― Vermont Girl (Vermont Girl), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

And the picture of Brit Brit next to the bear.

― Vermont Girl (Vermont Girl), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

This woman's name.

Little kids' voices. They're all high and crazy sounding.

NO WAY! That's not real!! ... priceless...

puns, poo, poo puns, bukkake, pookake, saying "and" five times in a row.

ok that person's name too, although that falls under some (and possibly all) of those categories.

Silly voices and stupid made up characters.

Freerepublic.com and the views expressed therein. Stubborn ignorance in general.

Squirrels falling out of trees.

― Evanston Wade (EWW), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:52 (twenty-one years ago)

For no known reason I like jokes along these lines:

Friend: So yeah, the bus is called the Airporter and you catch it on 16th Street -- it'll take you right to the airport!

Me: [with blank look] Why is it called that?

― Paul Eater (eater), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

your momma

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 16:56 (twenty-one years ago)

This dude that was the drummer for the last band I was in texts me your momma jokes about twice a week. They have a 75% chance of being hilarious.

I'm a dead easy mark for puns. Gear's post had me cracking.

― Leeefuse 73 (Leee), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 21:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not fussy. All it takes is an animal in shades to make me laugh.

or.. this..:

THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 21:28 (twenty-one years ago)

All it takes is an animal in shades to make me laugh.

But isn't it funnier when it also says something like "I'm Too Cool For Mondays" underneath the animal with shades?

― martin m. (mushrush), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, animals in shades with a caption is pretty funnier.

Animals on television with dubbed voices.. oh man.. my sides!

That, and funny road signs. My most pedestrian weakness on the internet are those stupide ebaum.com sites.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I also find RJG hilarious.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 21:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Pleasant Plains, is that Magical Mister Mistopholes?

Uranus tilts over so far on its axis that it rotates on its side. Because of this, its poles are sometimes pointed almost directly at the Sun. Uranus' atmosphere is made up of hydrogen, helium, and methane. The temperature in the upper atmosphere is very cold. The cold methane gas is what gives Uranus its blue-green color. The rapid rotation of Uranus causes winds up to 600 kilometers per hour to blow in its atmosphere. Uranus has eleven known rings which contain dark, boulder-sized particles. Uranus has at least 20 known moons. Some of these moons are less than 100 kilometers wide and black as coal. One more moon may have been found by astronomers. Other scientists are trying to confirm the discovery.

My 12th grade physics teacher got REAL sick of my giggling.

A man wakes up from a coma, in a hospital bed.

Doctor: 'hi, I'm someone you've never met'.

Man: 'thank God, I thought I'd lost my memory!'.

This is what I find funny. And if I know anything, I know funny.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 21:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I believe Mandee has previously gone on record as finding "anything that involves a guy getting racked in the balls" funny. I find that funny.

Newcastle accents. They are just funny. When my Mam tries to impersonate the bloke who does the voiceover on Big Brother. Turns out that's a riot.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 22:32 (twenty-one years ago)

men being hit in the crotch. non-stop hilarity. also probably the only reason why i still find value in americas funniest home videos.

If by magical, you mean "paint on one's asshole", then yes.
