I have a dry sense of humor, and I like it.

Dry ----- Irony; using words to express something completely different from the literal meaning

Sarcastastic ---- ridicule that wounds for laughter

Verbal --- also known as bantar; good-natured teasing back and forth

Slapstick ---- comedy involving exaggerated physical violence or activities.[/quote]

I say all the above. Though the defintion you provide for Sarcastastic is hardly what I
call sarcasm.

The Far Side is my favourite comic strip of all time. And the following is one of my favourites; it also is an excellent example of the kind of humour I relate to the best.

None of the above. People describe my sense of humour as "off the wall". It's a combination of bad puns, odd juxtapositions, and just plain weirdness.

A joke that best illustrates this kind of humour:

Q. What's green, has eight legs, and would kill you if it fell on you from out of a tree?
A. A billiard table.


Yeah, that's me too. Good joke. I would say my sense of humour is a mix between surreal, absurd, dark, and sarcastic. Three of the four types listed in the poll are basically the same thing, btw.

My humour is kind of unique, but dry (mostly) to sarcastic probably sum it up.

Sarcasm = A method of lying to show the truth through the use of dragging out a word or sentence.

Very, very bizarre. Pop culture references and bizarre stereotype jokes (Except i'm very offended by jokes about Aspies, Furries and Hair Metal). I also love the breaking of the 4th wall in cartoons, comics and books where the characters mention that they're in a book/show and/or talk with the author/audience. Really absurd Monty Python-esq humor turns me on.

most of my humor is dry/verbal/sarcastic. a lot of it is just being 'my own kind of humor' though.

The humor I use varies a bit. Allot of things I find amusing other people don't. Occasionally though I can make people laugh.
