Alphas what kind of humor do you like? (INTj, ESFj, ENTp, ISFp)

[electric sheep]

The whole problem with this thread is that it's written from the assumption:"Gammas find alpha-humor offending, why's that?" When in reality gammas in general probably don't. It's like asking Howard Stern why is Robin Williams so offending. I'm hard pressed to find anything offending about alpha humor, other than sometimes being offending to my intelligence.

lol where did you find that assumption? I didn't assume gammas think alpha humor is offensive when I started this thread, but that seems to be the route everyone has taken. I think making an offensive joke is sort of a cop out, actually. If you have to be offensive to get a laugh, then you don't have a well developed sense of humor.

edit: that's not to say I don't make offensive jokes, I just don't default to them.

[Logos]

That's actually a true point. I am rarely offended by Alpha humor, but it tends to grate on my nerves. I should have said so from the beginning. I find other quadra humor to be more offensive, generally.

Could you elaborate on this? And could you help me better understand the sort of humor you do prefer?

I'm not entirely sure about Norm McDonald but he seems Ne/Si introvert, maybe ISFp.

[Absurd]

Alright. Atkinson and Larry David, I want to go over there and death them whenever I see them. Thanks for bringing back memories Arsal.

Take Bill Maher is ESE type. He takes religion, an object that exists outside of themselves, and he takes this object and express an emotional reaction to it and about it, finding words that express that emotional view of what religion causes in society. The categorize institutions (religion is one); religions are analogous to one another and makes no distinction one from the other not even Christian to Judaism because the Fe has leaned so far into Fe that the function that takes care of categorizing is disappeared into the background. The more he becomes an Fe, seeks to find more institutions that which he can use to express his emotions about, the more he finds things to validity his objective quest, completely disregarding the subjective factors, the introverted Ti is one that suffers or is compromised because of this action.

The feelings arise because of this institution RELIGION and a reflection of that objects in society and because he's an ESE, an Fe base, his feeling valuation returns back to society and not to his personal feelings or ethics about religion, otherwise he would at lease have some empathy for the individuals in that institution. A pope, to an Fe is and not just Pope John, it's THE pope; they tent to objectify the human and make or attribute no individual characteristics; he just takes THE pope and makes him even to a humans in general (as a group again outside of himself), or more specifically MEN another group, not Pope John, who doesn't favor abortion, but is warm towards other things, like food donation or something. He equates people to generalization; not Maritsa but AMERICANS; not Bob, but REPUBLICANS.

Being an extravert, he finds metaphors and symbols for real scenarios to bounce these observations off of them and not to himself.

ISFp? Maria Bamford is hilarious, and does voices on Adventuretime.

INTJ: Rowan Atkinson

wait, since when is Rowan Atkinson LII? And why? Isn't he usually typed SLI? That seems more correct to me. And he seems very dynamic also.

[DirectorAbbie]

I didn't know comedians came in LII.

[DirectorAbbie]

The ENTps weren't funny. The ESFj has a lousy vocabulary.

The introverts were funny.

What about Brian Regan and Robin Williams? Know their types?

My ILE-Ti brother loves this video series.

It's Alpha NT (esp. ILE) AF.

[The Reality Denialist]

It is fun to create false conspiracy theories. Alex Jones must hire me.

IT crowd is essentially alpha vs gamma comedy series.

Rowan Atkinson's Mr Bean tries to be extremely . He must have spied lots of ILEs.

Napoleon Dynamite, Sinbad, Gilda Radner, Phyllis Diller, Rose Marie. I get tired of vulgar stuff quick.

- exaggerations
- sarcasm
- puns

Q.e.d.

Yes. Alphas can easily cross the border of good taste when there's an avenue to blow things out of water.

I think Jerry Zucker is SEI. I'm a huge fan.

[ClownsandEntropy]

Can I comment on puns? Puns are so uncomfortable. When someone makes them mid-sentence and then keeps going that's fine, that's just a humorous aside, but sometimes people will reply to someone else with a pun. Like it's actually a funny joke! And then everyone there has to either laugh at the joke [which is awkward] or ignore it [which is awkward].

And, like, with other jokes you can sometimes build on each other.

Compare the rapport being built with:

"Your momma is so fat that..."
"Yeah? Well your momma is so fat that..."

or

"Actually, Clowns said he wants to go to the loud bar."
"Haha, yeah, I just hate being able to hear you guys."

vs

"What's up?"
"The sky."
"Haha... yeah..."

[Skepsis]

I like it when someone uses a pun, places emphasis on the pun, and then pauses with that suspense inducing face as they await laughter.

Wait a minute, puns aren't hilarious?

I've been doing this wrong

I enjoy thin & clever humor much more so than thick, vulgar humor.
To try to make a tangible contrast, SNL more recently (in the past few years or so) has appealed more to my sense of humor than SNL for decades previous to that. Seems the writers changed.

also, humor done with a straight face is much more effective than humor done with a lot of grimacing. Therefore, I haven't been a huge fan of Jim Carrey's acting, although I do like the guy. I like him better in roles where he doesn't grimace as much. America's Got Talent - Piff the Magic Dragon - an example of great humor done with a straight face. That style appeals much more to me.

I feel EXACTLY the same way.

[Syynth]

Satire/parody mostly. I also enjoy over the top Ne zaniness if I am in the mood for it.

I hate puns.
