Richey Edwards Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 What is your sense of humour like, and how important is humour to you? I have been told that I have a very dry sense of humour. It consists mainly of sarcasm and can be quite dark at times. I usually say something for a joke and people think I'm serious and either think I'm a weirdo or an idiot. I have spent most of my working life in mental health care and dementia care which can be quite difficult at times, and it definitely helps if you can see a funny side to things. Some of the things I've seen people do and say in my work have been hilarious, and a lot of people who have mental health problems or severe dementia still actually have a sense of humour. One of the best parts of my job is being able to have a good banter and laugh with the people I look after. My job would be absolutely dire if it wasn't for humour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Dark, risky and very dry. Eta: that said, I love 'stupid funny'. There aren't enough Airplane! / Naked Gun / Top Secret type films out there. The Fast Show will never grow old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I have a very cautious sense of humour, I won't make jokes about anything that might upset people. A bit like Jimmy85's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I have a pretty silly sense of humour, i quite often think of funny things in my head then start chuckling in public which can be quite embarrassing. I think the funniest things are when completely ridiculous things/people are combined with serious things/people. Think Sacha Baron Cohen does that the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that too. Usually in places like busy trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 It's awful, I had the worst case of the giggles when I was at my mother in laws house at Christmas time a few years ago and I had drunkenly text my friend who was in Australia about how I used to w**k straight into the bin when I was younger. I then woke up in the middle of the night and he had replied with "did you have a good shot?". This immediately sent me into a frenzy which really wasn't short of a panic attack and it was made so much worse by my girlfriend telling me to shut up and the more she got annoyed the more I laughed. Her mother and her man aren't the type of people who would understand or find it funny that I was having a laughing fit at that time of the night and they were obviously woken up by it as it is a small bungalow. It probably went on for an hour at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I'm not proud of myself for doing it I was just drinking for days and in a dirty mood and saying what ever I wanted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I was 13/14 at the time. I wasn't proud of myself but just decided I would say it to my friend just to engage him in inappropriate conversation as I was drunk. Was in quite a bad place actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I've spoken about it before, the point was that I had decided to tell a friend about it 15 years later and it gave me a laughing fit. I think people are missing the point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
