most of the time, no... but most of the time I am talking to myself anyway so what can one expect?

Truthfully, I do tell a lot of inside jokes that only me and like 5 other people in the whole world would get. What's weird is when my humor gets mixed up in the same pot with my seriousness about something and I don't even know if i'm joking or not but will make the joke anyway... and I'm not trying to make anyone laugh. Not that I don't like making people laugh... it just seems like that's what I'm trying to do and I'm not so sure if i'm trying to or not because I'm also serious but I feel like I'm not allowed to be serious in that moment or about the subject.

Of course it's cynism but it gets aggressive sometimes.

Cynism becomes like a monkeywrench for all the things you need to express and can't.

If most people dont get your sense of humor than it just means your ass isnt funny..

Now, you see some will appreciate that but to me omething like that is just too easy to crack. It's like reruns.

Just goes to show how taste differs.

In real life, yes, its very clear. Online, no, people are clearly not getting it. I know this because the few people I've met in the real world after knowing them online have all said that my posts seem totally different after they've seen and heard me talk.

I've only ever known you online - and I've always known when you're kidding.

Maybe it's because, when I read your posts, I hear my own voice.

Well, yeah. That could definitely make a difference. I think its usually pretty obvious, but the posts where I think its most clear are often the ones I get the most shit for. Whaaaatever.

It depends on what crowd I'm with. Sometimes I have to adapt the level/focus, and sometimes they have to. It's different with different people. If a joke falls flat on its face I know it's the wrong crowd.

Great topic!

I always believed it came down to what comedy shows (TV or radio) you were brought up on when you were a kid.

If I'm with people who either don't find me funny (or I don't find them funny) my first thought is "we watched different things as kids."

For me, my parents would show me Marx Bros. films and we'd always listen to the Goon show on the radio every Saturday and about when I was 12, it was all about Monty Python. So I loved absurd stuff. If, at school, I'd make a Groucho or Spike Milligan-style joke and the others who didn't laugh were most likely watching Friends or Seinfeld- shows that I think are only so-so.

I love funny faces. There are some people who can't understand why anyone would want to pull a face. And usually, those same people love dead-pan comedians. Give me Harpo any day

If you dig this stuff, you and I probably have the same sense of humour-

Peter Cook & Dudley Moore

South Park

Woody Allen

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

Yes Minister/Prime Minister

The Trip

Whose Line Is It Anyway?

I watched the Goodies and Kenny Everett

Short answer....I don't think they do. If they do they are only laughing on the inside.

I thought a SOH was something you fabricated and told someone that they had because you were trying to sleep with them?

It's tricky though, with context and how well ppl (esp. mods) know an orger. If you know there's no malice in a joke and you get where it's coming from then maybe it can be viewed in a different light. Different to the way a newbie might be perceived, I guess. Either way, I've just reported you.

In person, more often than not. I find that as time goes by and more people get on the internet, though, that it is increasingly more difficult to convey humor or sarcasm. I don't like to go through the rigamarol of putting a fucking special smiley every damn time just to show that I'm kidding. It should sound ridiculous enough.

Jersey and I recently had a thread where we were flaming each other...all in good fun...like we have done many times before.

Thread was deleted with quickness and we both got a 2 day suspension.

Really? That's messed up. There must be some perks to being an old org has-been who's been here far too long! Geez.

That's weird though. Obviously neither of you were getting offended, and obviously the mods would know that, so what, it was for the protection of onlookers who might find it traumatizing or something?

Yeah, either that or mod who suspended us is totally fucking clueless.

U ever seen Das Experiment?? I think some MODS have had power trips, so fucking clueless gets my vote.

It's great though. I didn't have to do anything, you just got yourself banned.

Fuck, I know. First time in over 6 years.

The only thing that actually pisses me off about it is that you didn't see the thread in time. If you had, you absolutely would have joined in and would have been banned too.

i'm like usually pretty serious. i like to make people laugh everyonce in a while. like here's a gross joke.

these three homeless like guys were walking down the street at night. they stopped in front of a closed business. the place had a huge plate glass window.

so the first guy says, "i bet i can gross you guys out." so he harks up a huge lugee and spits it on the plate glass window. it looked gross.

so the second guy says "oh that's nothing," and harks up an even larger lugee and also spits it on the plate glass window. it looked even more gross.

(at this point all the slimy liquid was streaming down the plate glass window)

so the third guy says "oh that's nothing," and with one huge slurping sound slurps up both splashes of lugee juice, wipes his mouth and says, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, that was great.

a fun-gross-ny joke

wow, I came back in here to get cracked on after posting earlier in the day but I guess people around here have jobs as well.
