Delta Comedy and Humor

[redbaron]

yes. though monty python is practically the prototype of alpha humor, IMO

I agree. I love monty python but it can get old after awhile.

I thought it was pretty funny. and yeah, delta.

Agree on the Monty too.

Though my question is: How is the original video delta humor? What are we talking about when we say that? I mean it's not just that I don't find that particular thing funny, but I've been fervently searching for some kind of underlying premise or whatever springs from the delta fountain that I'd even remotely be entertained by. Is it because of the guy personally? Is it just messing with total strangers in a public place? If it happened in my vicinity I'd probably smile to myself because it's clearly a gag, but my response to it is pretty overwhelmingly meh. Not saying those of you who enjoyed it have a shit sense of humor or it's objectively unfunny, but it doesn't really do anything for me at all.

My thought was that the humor was based on social propriety, so it might resonate with deltas more than other quadras. If it actually happened to me, I wouldn't find it funny in the least. but the fact that in the video it goes on and on and in different locations and the way the guy is yelling, does make me snicker.

Well i'd say it's undervalued Fe.

Well, that wouldn't differentiate it from gamma. Also, why is that the most obvious thing to you?

hmmm. i didn't think the OP was AHAHAHAHAHAHA funny. I found it more amusing/entertaining. Sort of like less funny than "The Office," but along the same lines.
LOL funny is more like when there's an element of complete randomness to it and/or the joke involves making some type of underlying psychological connection. Often these are jokes about completely inane or absurd topics like pigeons or using the toilet. Most people's reaction to me is literally like "for someone who I thought was smart, you laugh at the DUMBEST shit." And I'm just like "ahahahah. It's brilliant."
Also, there's usually a lot of physical/visual humor.
I'm trying to think of stuff that made me fall of my chair laughing, but I'm drawing a blank...

If you haven't already, you should watch the Blackadder series. You'll never be stuck for a laugh again.

Alternatively come out with my ESFp friend and I to the pub. He's so funny that even comedians don't make him laugh-basically because he is funnier than them.
