What kind of humor is Doug Stanhope - witty evil?
I don't know Doug Stanhope. But I will shortly and get back to you.
Dark humor with a mix of witty and playful sarcasm is the best
Sounds pretty particular. Is there a particular comic or writer, or program you favor?
@Fibonacci1618 Well I follow certain people who are like so, like Candice Pool or some others. I really find this particular sense of humor with certain characters in movies one example is Blue Valentine. It's hard to find this mix. But I'll think about more and I'll hit you up with more. I have whole list in my mind I just need to remember the names and titles. Lolita, as contriversal at it is, she was very witty and sarcastic.
@sarahchan cool, lmk
The less swearing the better.
I do think most swearing takes away from the wit of the joke but I do like a good, placed swear word to exemplify the issue or point. Mostly in satirical comedy.
Louis CK, Dave Chappelle and George Carlin are some of my favorites.
Some of the greats, for sure!
Which are Mr. Bean & AbFab?
I think that lands under slapstick
@Fibonacci1618 Noooo......
@Fibonacci1618 Monty Python too?
@Carin I think Monty Python is more Satirical. It's mocking both contemporary society and the freaks. I of course my be wrong.
I have to say I like all kinds of humour except for Adam Sandler kind of stuff. I guess one'd call it 'stupid humour?'. It just never struck me as funny and was, therefore, pretty boring to me. Also, I find 'battle of the sexes' humour pretty yawn-inducing, these days.
Agreed. Juvenile humor is an offence to the intelligence.
I think I should have been aloud mor ethan just one choice, as i liek more than one kind of humor.
Dude you're aloud whatever you want. State your preferences like everyone else
Double entendres and logical paths that fail to go where they should
Self deprecating.
When I just, it's usually self deprecated. I don't like speaking negatively of others. But truthfully, I'll laugh if someone else does and it's witty, not harsh
I wish their was a option of all of the above.
I wanted to get a feel for the spectrum of comedy. There's a few I omitted purposely.
Negative sarcasm is the closest descriptor in our choices, though I consider Carlin more "brutally honest."
Absolutely love him!
I was lucky enough to see him perform live shortly before his passing.
You didn't include dark, or dry humor, which are my favorites. Also love satire
I think that's what I meant by Negative Sarcasm. But yes, I know that's a popular option. Thanks for sharing.
@Fibonacci1618
I don't think dark humor is necessarily sarcastic, and when I hear negative sarcasm I think more of people putting you down sarcasticly. I guess you meant more cynicism?
An example of what I think of as dark humor is that dark humor is like kids with brain cancer, it never gets old
another good example would be the stand up comedian John Steinberg. Check him out on YouTube if you like dark humor
@PolyComrade lol gotcha
