Perfect video for alien who is trying to act like a human

The best kind of humor is those people who make a joke with a serious attitude without laughing and finally smile a little, but their humor is strong.

"Surreal humor can be one of the hardest types of humor to use" Proceeds to show the funniest shit I've seen all day

Thanks for explaining what sarcasm is! I definitely didn't know what it was and you totally helped!!!

Started giggling at the tiger during the surreal humor section. I'm cooked

The first one is always so embarrassing because I try to be nice by laughing at their joke and then it backfires 😭😭

My favorite joke combines multiple genres. "A horse walks into a bar. The bartender refuses to serve him because he is an alcoholic."

Dry humor is such a special kind of humor, gets me every time

I cried laughing because that Tiger came so unexpected. It's over for me.

I tink "inside-jokes" also deserve a spot since the laughter comes almost totally from a shered experience of a very restricted group of people.

Its a pain combining Dry humor and Sarcasm when people genuinenly think youre serious.

Where’s cringe humor

waiting for next weeks episode that just ends with "callback - a joke that references an earlier event in a humorous way"

A joke I have heard from my German friend: What's red and bad for your teeth? A brick.

Fun Trivia: "Slapstick" was so dubbed in the era of silent shorts, when such films would be accompanied by live music (anything from a single pianist to a full orchestra) and, sometimes, by foley (sound effect) performers. The most common foley used for when someone got smacked on-screen was literally either a pair of flat sticks slapped together or just one slapped against a cushion or other such object. Films which featured a lot of 'abusive' physical comedy involved a lot of stick slapping - hence, becoming known as "slap-stick".

The picture of the tiger during the surreal part made me laugh too hard. I finally have a term for modern internet humour.

I think Norm Macdonald is the best example of anti-humour. His interviews at Conan's always had anti-humour jokes.

isn't "black humor" more commonly referred to as dark humor?

Toilet/Potty/Scatological Humor: An easy form of comedy, usually targeted at children, where people use humor related to bathrooms and bodily functions regarding feces and other functions that are considered taboo. This form of humor is extremely common in comedy, however it is often seen as a cheap form of humor that requires little to no effort to utilize. Properly implemented humor can be extremely effective for your audience however, compared to frequent usage without any proper setup.

Army office worker here. Dry humour mixed with some satire is something that allows you to overcome the daily routine, yet sometimes it's better to split them up.

The perfect humour is when you look your homie in the eyes withou saying a word and you both start laughing

2:07 as someone who is blind, I completely agree with the fact that using black humour can often reduce pain of difficult topics. I make blind puns on a nearly everyday basis.

0:25 I have a “shaggy dog story” style story right here: A guy’s car broke down in front of a monastery. He asked the monks if he could stay the night. They invited him in, giving him food, water, shelter, and they even fixed his car. During the night, he heard a strange noise. He asked about it and they said “I can’t tell you, because you’re not a monk”. 1 year later exactly, he broke down in front of that same monastery. He was given food, water, shelter, and they even fixed his car. During the night, he heard that noise again. He asked about it, to which the monks replied “I can’t tell you because you’re not a monk. He then asks, what do i need to do to become a monk? They reply that he has to count every grain of sand on earth, and every blade of grass. He sets off on his journey, counting grain by grain, blade by blade until finally, after 60 years, he has his count. “I have counted every grain of sand, and every blade of grass. There are 1835635 grains of sand and 3573425618 blades of grass. I am ready to become a monk”. The monks say “Congratulations, you are now a monk!”. “What was the noise that I heard, back when i first visited?” The man asked. They said “The answer is right behind this door.” The man tried opening the large golden door but it was locked. “Very funny, can i have the key?”. “Very well then.” the monk replied. Behind it was a silver door, and the man asked for a key to that one. There was then an amethyst door, a bronze door, a topaz door, a glass door, a wooden door and finally an emerald door. He opened it and he saw the source of the noise. You might want to know the source of the noise now, right? Well i can’t tell you, because you’re not a monk.

Off topic: Spongebob has mastered grotesque humor to a tee, and even revolutionized it.

Answering questions in a serious tone but with a ridiculous answer is my favorite comedy.

The dark humor one was explained so well. So many people fail at actually doing it well

the tiger image at 2:36 bro 😭🙏

Fun fact about sarcasm is that for people with adhd it's a lot harder to gleam actual meaning for if a phrase is sarcasm or not because we focus exclusively on the words rather than the tone so often times we take things literally unless we're directly looking for sarcasm

Spongebob close-ups be like: 3:00

Satire is goated

The best joke I've ever heard was only funny to me because I misunderstood it as a child: "Why can't penguins fly? Because they are chocolate biscuits." I thought the joke was in the non-sequitur. It was hysterical to my 6- or 7-year-old self (ok fine maybe to my current self as well) that such an obviously untrue fact was given as the reason for penguins' lack of flight😅. Pure silliness! The joke was actually a pun ("Penguins" are a brand of chocolate bar/biscuit in the UK) but it went right over my head. What's staggering about my level of brainfart there is that Penguin bars are known for having jokes on the wrapper, and that's where I came across this one. I was holding a Penguin chocolate biscuit in my hand and still managed to miss the pun lol

I had a friend who would always expect me to understand sarcasm when they would text me and it was very annoying, because as you said, it’s hard to tell sarcasm just by the words

First example of grotesque humor that comes to mind is Flapjack Those super detailed closeups were crazy

"There are only three forms of comedy: the comedy of repetition, the comedy of repetition, and the comedy of repetition." (source unknown).

I say a lot of out-of-pocket things, even when I don’t mean to. This makes people laugh pretty much every time I open my mouth. It’s most likely from me being a little bit on the spectrum; my knowledge of some things while being completely clueless about other stuff is what does it.

There's also Reference humour - When something is funny because it calls back to a previous joke or moment Hmm humour - Similar to grotesque humour, but not as disturbing Bamboozelment humour - This one's a little hard to explain, so here's a video explaining it better than I can kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrenZ9pqvM28k4U.html Weed eater

Wordplay/Puns, Highbrow, One-Liner, Anecdotal, Hyperbolic, Farce, Parody (that's similar to Farce and to Satire, but not exactly the same thing...), Surprise & Incongruity... I might be missing more, but I always wonder about these videos that say "every" and then I look it up and there are more that weren't covered here...unless...that's making us "in on the joke" which is also a type of humor....

1:08 While slapstick can be enjoyed solely through vision, it can also be enjoyed only through hearing. Also who the heck named erotic humor "Green humor"? Is it because green is not a warm color and thus doesn't resemble blood rush?

I got 2 anti-humors I made "Hey do you know what [...] did?" "No, what did they do?" "I dunno that's why I'm asking you!" And "Bro you're not gonma believe this." "What?" "You're not gonna believe it : ("

Lol this reminds me of a time where I was on a register and this lady said she had a coupon for her items. I patiently waited for her to find it. Waited... and waited... and waited... and then she gives me a coupon. I check it out and apply it. She saved $2 on her item.

I have serious ADHD and I didn't skip five seconds once. Short and to the point, and it puts what's difficult to put into words... into words.

I think a much more popular example of anti-humor/anti-jokes is "why did the chicken cross the road?"

My favorite type of comedy is comedy of errors. It's funny when everything goes wrong. The worse a situation gets, the funnier it is! It kind of falls in the realm of slapstick humor, but it's more situational comedy than slapstick, I'd say. Either way, it never fails to make me laugh.

What a wonderful species we are that we have all these different ways to laugh.

In stand-up: □ "White Humor" = Safe/Clean □ "Black Humor" = Black Comedy □ "Green Humor" = Blue Humor ("Green" = inexperienced)

dry humor reminded me what my dumb young self said once. i was reading a magazine, as a kid i liked it cuz it had various comics and puzzles, like find the difference or crosswords. it also had jokes. as i was reading them, my dad walked into the room and after a moment of silence, he asked "what are you reading?" i said "jokes" with a completely straight face and in the most monotone voice ever. he started laughing. i didn't because i wasn't kidding. the reason i wasn't laughing or even smiling at the jokes was because i was too young to understand any of them lmao

Just found your channel recently and love this stuff! I hope this guys was the original and not one of the knock offs I keep getting recommended

1:25 Dad humour

I didn't ask for this, but I sure needed this. Thanks.

I’ve been working on dry since high school and now no one can tell when I’m being serious. It’s great.

Anti-humour gets me every single time. The jokes make absolutely no sense and you mostly laugh at how stupid and absurd the context is: "I always keep a £5 bill in my right shoe for emergency purposes. It took a while, but I finally found myself in a pickle and needed to use the £5. When I pulled it out of my sock, it was completely blank - friction and sweat had wiped it clean! The cashier couldn't accept it." 😂🤣

I still don't get how sarcasm in real life is funny but sarcasm in modern movies or media just sounds so unbelievably cringe I die

"There was this church that had nobody to ring the church bell, so a man said 'I have no lover, no job, and nothing to do. I will ring the bell' so for days he would ring the bell, one day there was a large crowd at the steeple, 'I have no real purpose in life, and I'm tired of this, I'm going to end it all' so he jumped off the steeple, splattering into a red paste on the ground in front of the crowd. An Italian guy walked up and yelled 'Mama mia!" With his hands pinched." - My Spanish teacher during class

Shaggy Dog stories are the best. They're kind of like a right of passage for friends imo. You gotta tell someone the "red roses" or "monk" story at least once in your life. I think the Shaggy Dog story isn't the best, but it's definitely a good introduction

Surreal humour for the win

2:55 flapjack did the the best at grotesque humor

This channel is genuinely incredibly helpful, as an autistic person it helps a lot

1:47 Dark Humour. it's Dark Humour

I thought dry humor was called Deadpan

Dry humour, sarcasm and satire are my fav.

1:47 I thought it was called ‘dark humor’…it is called dark humor 😅

Satire is the GOAT!!! I love satire especially South Park and coming up with funny situations and imagining that they were real!

What would something like misdirection be classified under? It's a curveball type of humor I use and relate to quite a bit. A mix of some of these maybe?

Thank you for getting straight into the video!

1am high, this is a nice video nice info not to short and not to long. Appreciate it sir.

I’m: - Dry humor - Black humor - Satire - Surreal (KZfaq Poops) - Observational and idk what it’s called but the kind of humor where you watch things that are so bad they’re funny.

3:34 relatable memes

We need a list of comedians/ popular shows that specialise in each of these

Great stuff. I’ve been researching this for decades. Hard to find good data. - Can you do one on ‘comedic devices’?

0:10 “Explain it…”

Your video ideas are always so good. Awesome video idea!

i’d love to watch a whole comedians special with the logos of what humour is being described in the moment

Everyone who's starting out in the internet landscape should watch this video

In the UK Green humour is actually known as Blue humour

I love the drawings :D

As an INTJ this helped me in many ways possible

I would engage in a friendly conversation with the tiger and become friends with him

Well made guide for the acoustic ones

0:39 I use sarcasm everyday LMAO

You must do a part 2. So many other styles to cover!

The white and black humor is also called light and dark humor

Yay, new video

What is a musician's favorite snack? ... No seriously that I'm supposed to host the dinner for the local band and I don't know what to make please help me

I was looking forward to my favorite type of commedy, but I don't know if this is a thing. I always called my humor "Situational Humor" where the joke comes from someone's self awareness of not only themselves but others around them and being able to predict when something will happen. A common gag like this was in Disney series where the character is like "Just watch, I'll walk in the door and she'll be like "Hi honey, you look tired." And as soon as they walk through the door, the person in question says the exact thing as predicted in the exact same pattern of speech to emphasis the familiarity the character had from this situation happening over and over again. Another example: stepping out of the way for something to happen right where they originally stood without seeing the danger coming.

We need someone to do a tierlist of these

I would make a joke, but I’m not funny sorry guys....

I want to say my sense of humor is definitely Green, Black, Insult and Dry Humor

this was actually one of the most interesting videos i’ve watched

When he said surreal humor my brain immediately made the connection to the current day memes, and then he shared the exact type I was talking about. A nonsense image of a buff tiger, and I laughed out loud, legitimately. I know surreal humor has been around a long time but I feel like we've perfected it these last few years

This is the most important video on the internet imo

I need examples

I'm terrible at sarcasm, autodestructive humor, and meta-jokes

I like the combination of Surreal humor and dry humor The kind of situation: You sit at a dinner table with some friends. One of them is really zoned out and as you all speak, this friend suddenly looks up at you all.... and just says "It has been done" with a full on serious, uet surprised expression or if you add autodestructive into that mix: You trip in public... get up and say "Too many legs. This body has too many legs... Gotta fix that in the next version"

Why say black humour instead of dark humour

Most people on the internet really have no knowledge of what black humor really is. Every time I watch meme vids or liotterally anything on YT, somebody is going to make a sexual/racist/seriously messed up joke about univerally ANYTHING they saw in the video. When you tell them what they said wasn't even a joke, they get mad, call you a snowflake and tell you to take a joke. Seriously, if you want to use dark humor, do it right!

This is the type of video to be recommended 12 years later.

As an undercover alien,this video really helped me out.

Black jokes matter
