The second funniest is when my conversations end in things like 'OH GOD, I HAVE TO GET A BLOCK OF CHEDDAR OR MY SEX LIFE IS RUINED!' I like it when the streak of surreal in my life is really more like a sixteen lane highway.

Agreed! The funniest moments in life are those unplanned, unexpected moments where the weirdness escalates into the most inane conversation imaginable.

I like satire and parody...much like the type of humor they address on South Park. A political issue the boys take note, run to Chef for the answers, who sends them on a wild goose chase where they finally come to terms with whatever hypocrisy they are exposing on that particular episode.

I do NOT like, however, jokes at other people's expense...the type that will hurt them, like picking on someone, I don't like bullying jokes at all. I collect stand up comedians though, and they all KICK ASS because they make fun of the world, not individual people.

It honestly depends on what mood I'm in and who I'm with. I can tell you, though, that I do NOT find really low brow boring farting and belching and tiolet humor funny. If it's sex related I'm totally fine, though. But yeah it depends. Random is good, I love black humor and dry comedy . . . camp is fun. So is satire and parody.

I gotta agree with SwordKing that if I see Ron and Harry puppets beating each other senselessly or bothering Snape I will fall out of my chair.

I especially love capslock humor.

If it's British, dry or bleak I will likely love it. I also have a soft spot for bad puns and the surreal. (What is the status of your goat love?)

Sex, of course, is a given. My own sense of humor seems to center around deadpan.

Dirty jokes, wordplay, HAX0RZ, and generally clever remarks. I also laugh like crazy when people fall. Particularly down flights of stairs, on pavement, down a hill, or on the bleachers beside the football feild.

Quoted for truth.

Beyond that, anything that puts stiffs in a really awkward position. Watching those reactions is amazing (a'la Borat).

Twin Peaks?  Black Comedy?  I don't get it...

For me, it's a toss-up between complete farce (Cold Comfort Farm) and jokes that puncture pretensions...can't think of any examples off-hand.  Mind, I usually laugh hardest at stupid, dirty jokes.  Wondershowzen or the Family Guy come to mind.

Black comedy is often cruel, dark, or just plain weird humor, usually presented using satire, social commentary, or ironic events. Twin Peaks has a lot of it Heathers is pure black comedy, though. It pokes at teenage suicide, which, by itself, isn't funny at all-- but in the context of the story, it's hilarious.

The movie of A Clockwork Orange is black comedy? Appropriate, really. The book wasn't written to be funny but I found it amusing.

Then again, I'm the guy who laughed at Hamlet.

I wouldn't call ACO a black comedy as such but it does have some dark comic moments, its more a of speculative fiction.

But that's because Hamlet is hilarious!  I mean, how can you take that big pile of bodies at the end seriously?  But to me the funniest part is when Polonius buys it and actually says "Oh, I am slain!"  LOL

Why is it weird for a Brit to like British humour?
