I like british humor too, but is not my favorite.

I guess i can't tell, i like different kinds of humor, from South Park to the Monty Pythons. It depends, but definitively black or grey humor is my very best.

Aaagh, Curb Your Enthusiasm makes my skin crawl.  I mean it's hilarious, but I can't watch it more than once a month.  Did you see the episode with the baptism?  That show goes something like *cringe* LOL *cringe* *cringe* LOL ROFL.

I don't think I've seen that one, although I know what you mean. There are days I can't watch it, or episodes that even though I laugh while watching it, I can't stop cringing either. I think it's half the attraction; I had the same attitude to The Office (the British version; I've never seen the US one). The Christmas specials, in particular, are brilliant, but they're awfully hard to watch because you just wish they'd stop it, it's awful and embarrassing and so much like real life that it's funny even when it shouldn't be. ^____^;;

Oh, and I forgot to mention one of my other favourite comedies was a hilariously surreal bit called Teachers. It was the random donkey, I tell you. Random donkey sightings make EVERYTHING hilarious.

I like Monty Python, Terry Pratchett, Family Guy and ever new South Park sense of humour.

*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!"  *

For me amusing is, when he asks his friends, did they come for funeral or wedding? "Very clever, food from this first event could be used on wedding" (Not exactly this words, but the same sense)

I will

I enjoy crazy random shit.  I also act that way.

If you've seen My Hime then this will be extremely funny to you:

or even if you haven't....it's still pretty funny:

But even if it makes me a dupe, I prefer a more optimistic outlook.

I love satire and surreal humor best. Shows like The Colbert Report never fail to crack me up.  Fart jokes also make me laugh when all else fails, but doesn't that apply to everybody?

Puns, satire, dark humor, deadpan, geeky in-jokes (Skippy's List, Mr. Welch's list), man getting hit in groin by football, etc. Practically anything, really.

In the end, though, nothing makes me ROFL like a well-executed non sequitur.

Political humor always gets me, and I love cultural satire.

Terry Pratchett and Lemony Snicket are examples of the kind of humor I like.

I laugh at just about anything, but I usually don't like stupid or slapstick humor.

Dark black humor. Negativity. Doom. The world is ending. Pessimism at its funnest.
A clever satire or appreciative parody (something that knows & loves what it's making fun of).
Witty repertoire - like the pop-culture heavy exchanges so common to Buffy. And to a lesser extent, in Gilmore Girls.
Inappropriate humor. Lotsa sexual innuendo of every kind, as long as it's wittily clever (not obvious - obvious kills me ...that's the reason I don't like puns).
And to contradict my last statement...bad humor. As in MISTs and jokes so obvious that they become hilarious. Intentionally bad writing.

Hmm examples of my tastes:
Napoleon Dynamite - so wtf it's funny
Superstar - now that's dancing. And those people are sad. Sad=funny!
Parts of Monty Python movies (some parts annoy me intensely)/Parts of John Cleese (his repetition annoys me intensely)
Ellen's early standup comedy
French & Saunders standup comedy. Er some of the time.
Absolutely Fabulous - drugged out post-man so-selfish Patsy makes me rofl
Kath & Kim - Making fun of Australians. The national pastime.
Eddie Murphy's dragon in Mulan, and Ellen's fish in hmm that Disney movie about fish...
Kung Pow - the best Hong Kong action flick parody-dub ever
Seinfeld - pretty good one-liners. And Elaine=deliciously cruel
She's the Man - so cutely not like a man I enjoy it
