A Good Sense of humor - The minority or the majority?

[Jugernot]

So, on a whole, do people have a "good" sense of humor?

After hanging around this forum, I'd have to say it is a minority. (rim shot)

Jugs

EDIT: Ok, I'm looking for opinions, not statistics. Now with Poll because of you babies out there who can't answer a question without a poll.

having a "good" sense of humor is all an opinion.

and in my opinion i think that most of this forum does not have a good sense of humor.

Especially the mods. They can never take a joke. When their feelings are hurt, they only reach for a tissue after they've wielded the BanStick.

What determines a "good" sandwich? It's all your opinion... I'm just asking for you to express it.

Minority. Most people are too stupid to have a good sense of humor.

It depends on the kind of humor. You may notice that in certain cultures sarcasm and wit are key components, whereas other countries prefer more unintelligent and vulgar humor. (think British vs American) I prefer the former over the latter.
So I think technically "sense of humor" depends on the particular society.

Minority for the internet

How do you make a baby stop crawling in circles?










Nail it's other hand to the floor.


Plenty of people don't like dead baby jokes.

but if its crawling, it isn't really dead, so it can't be a dead baby joke.

Technically right but it's in the same style as dead baby jokes.

I'd say, on the whole, that people have a good sense of humor, and even if they don't seem it at first it's usually easy to bring it out.

I find that most everyone on the internet has a sense of humor.

However I also find that most of the time, what they sense, in reality, isn't actually humor.

i never said whether it was funny or not, so how can you infer that I am in the minority?
i was just stating an observation. if its still moving, it can't be dead. therefore it can't be a joke about a dead baby, right? unless the baby was attached to something, like a record player, but then i don't think you could really call it crawling.

I find that many people have a poor sense of humor because they make certain subjects off-limits for no logical reason. As far as I am concerned, nothing is off limits for humor.

40% think farts and seeing someone get hurt are the pinnacle of humor, with the true comedic genius defined as someone who can fart AND belch simultaneously while accidentally setting themselves on fire. This doesn't really rise to the level of "good sense of humor" IMO. They don't like to think they enjoy seeing other people suffer, so they won't say they laugh at someone who just fell down a flight of stairs. Instead, they tell you they are laughing at someone who got "pwned". Don't agree? Here, smell my finger.

25% have a genuinely good sense of humor which I define as appreciating a quick wit, the ability to laugh at themselves, and an ability to see humor in many situations and not just while watching a stand-up comic perform.

20% have a good sense of humor but ruined it by become snobby about it, so they won't laugh at anything not sophisticated or upscale "enough". They sneer at the genius of the Three Stooges because it's slapstick, so therefore it could only be funny to double-digit IQ owners and people who (shudder) actually work with their hands.

10% think everything is funny and don't have the innate calibration to distinguish between something that was meant to be funny and something that wasn't.

5% don't think anything is funny.

Then, minority.
