Funniness style whynot? July 30, 2005

Aaaahhh tests….

the Wit
(52% dark, 39% spontaneous, 5% vulgar)

your humor style:
CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK

You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you’re probably an intellectual, but don’t take that to mean you’re pretentious. You realize ‘dumb’ can be witty–after all isn’t that the Simpsons’ philosophy?–but rudeness for its own sake, ‘gross-out’ humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.

I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer. Your sense of humor takes the most effort to appreciate, but it’s also the best, in my opinion.

Also, you probably loved the Office. If you don’t know what I’m

In yet another example of the fact that Christie and I are about as ill-suited as you can get, I present her results…

She is the idiot savant. My nemesis.

You like things silly, immediate, and, above all, outrageous. Ixne on the subtle word play, more testicles on fire, please. People like you are the most likely to RECEIVE internet forwards–and also the most likely to save them in a special folder entitled ‘HOLY SHIT’.

Because it’s so easily appreciated, and often a little physical, your sense of humor never ceases to amuse your friends. But most realize that there’s a sly intelligence and a knowing wink to your tastes. Your sense of humor could be called ‘anti-pretentious’–but ironically, that definitely indicates you’re smarter than most.
