Most don't get my humour but I don't mind. I think I'm frikkin' hilarious!

I run into it alot. I have been blocked becuase of it, and that is OK. I find the overly sincere tedious. What do you call a drummer without a girlfriend?.....Homeless! ?

no tone no expression not surprising

It's simple. The written word doesn't carry body language along with it, and it is void of tonal and inflection differences. Because of this, it is understandable that there are frequent misunderstandings of text. However, sense of humor plays a huge role as well. People with well developed senses of humor will rarely miss the humor and will occasionally insert their own into an otherwise innocent comment. I find myself laughing out loud at many of the posts and comments. If an individual doesn't, I suggest checking your sense of humor meter.

It's hard to depict tone and inflection in text alone. Can't remember the comedian but his suggestion of the font "sarcastica" is invaluable.

There does need to be an official sarcasm font.
I am my own best audience. If someone else laughs, that's bonus gravy.

In spades. Once got dogpiled over it here- ruffled some feathers.

Yup, all the time. Its ok, everyone is wired differently. Some get it, some hate it, some take it personally and at times towards the wrong way...
. Regardless, we are what/who we are and the audience always have a choice to react any way they please. Life is just too short to keep sense of humor restrained all the freaking time, right??

People are uber sensitive these days it seems. Everything offends them.

You have to take risks for comedy. If something flops, there's always the next gag. A giraffe walks into a bar and says "Highballs are on me." Heh.

Mostly family gets my humor. We readily relate to the same obscure movie lines and sarcastic blurbs. People further out don't get half of the references. Some think it makes us look clique-ish. I'm just glad that SOMEBODY gets it because it was damned funny!

It's like any humor. Some people get it and some don't. I've also found that the less people are online, the less they are aware of the formats and memes that help to convey the humor. And some people are just stupid.

I'll soon find out, I just posted an answer, to another post, which I would consider humerous. The person who posted it may not as it suggests he wanks too much. I wait with baited breath lol

Dry humor sometimes goes right pass you but if you catch it it is very funny.

Sometimes my humor can be a little too intellectual for some. No biggie, but i have to ask who I am telling something to first. Most folks don't like jokes that make them think to much I have found.

Absolutely. I think a lot of that stems from "political correctness" and people often not being sure if it's OK to laugh, or find humorous, that which others may find somehow offensive.

Add a dry sarcasm and tongue in cheek emoji. I spend too much time explaining.

For me, it's best when they take my humor literally. Reinvigorates the humor. Though, I have an Alexa now, and I am afraid to turn it on cuz I may just laugh myself to death.

Nothing stranger than people

There's no accounting for differing perspectives.
'know your audience' applies.

Yes. I'm always treated like some vile evil person if I make a joke, and if I don't I'm 'a stuck up cunt'.

Example in a community forum where I live we were discussing some abandoned dilapidated buildings and how ugly they are and the out-of-state property owners won't demolish them because they are a tax write off as long as some semblance of a building stands.

I said "oh if only they could just....disappear lol" and suddenly I'm being screamed at that I support arson and encourage it.

Yes. People who know me understand my humour. Others need to catch up or miss out. Life is too short. ?

I also have people that take me too cereally (Cap'n Crunch).

I get this all the time at work. My friends have a similar sense of humour to my own and appreciate nonsense and surrealist humour, but my colleagues don't understand that sort of thing at all.

Nothing surprises me anymore. People can be defensive and sensitive.
