What do you think influences your sense of humor?

My wife thinks (incorrectly) that puns are hilarious. They do nothing for me, but I'm not much of a laugher.
However, People falling on ice or slamming into walls? Hilarious. People gagging and throwing up? Laugh so hard I can't breathe. Fortunately, my wife thinks everything is funny so she laughs at that stuff, too.

I wonder if it's partly influenced by the disfunction you're exposed to. Not to over share, but my family growing up was semi-violent and physically abusive (I'm sure I'm not alone in that in this thread). Maybe that's why physical/violent humor is what cracks me up?

I have no idea why I am the way I am.

probably some blocked childhood experiences and that time I was attacked by a raccoon last week
 
I hate puns too.

(I may have stretched the truth there. But I'll blame the shots to the head I took as a kid.)


I like good humor. Intelligent and subtle humor more than farcical, but farcical is fine if it doesn't take itself seriously. Benny Hill, Monty Python et al combine the best of both.
 
I have a rather dry sense of humor. Jokes will fly over my head with some regularity and things that other folks will lose their minds over just won't impact me any. Now and then though, something will tickle me mercilessly and I'll lose it.

I grew up in a humorless household where toilet humor was equated to sex abuse and movies where guys got hit in the balls were banned. So yeah, my humor, or lack thereof, is likely a product of my upbringing.

You make her laugh. That's the main thing ;) ... trust me, I grew up with two sisters and have two daughters. It matters.

I'm known for dry delivery. Took years for my wife to understand 100% of my jokes.
 
I prefer self defecating humour.

The last time I experienced uncontrollable laughter, was when I was in the back seat of the car that Nathan was driving, with Fonedork Fonedork and Jo the Machinist Jo the Machinist , and Bennie Boo riding shotgun.
Jo was freaking out because Nathan's driving. Nathan was packing heat at the time, (probably all the time) and I said to Jo, "don't worry, we're safe- Nathan has a gun". As I laughed like a maniac at my own joke, Bennie Boo's looking over his shoulder like, da fuck widdat?

I know that I seem perfectly normal, but I'll let you in on a secret... I am not.
