Sense of Humour Quiz:
http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-3-variable-funny-test

by "Jason Bateman" (hmmm)

I found doing this quiz yeilded a startling result for me
the Wit

(71% dark, 35% spontaneous, 32% vulgar)

your humor style:
CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK


You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.

I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.

Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion.

You probably loved the Office. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Jon Stewart - Woody Allen - Ricky Gervais

ARRRRAAGGH!!! I'm like Ricky Gervais apparently. No! No!
Quick! Someone write an Australian one! I wanna be like Tony, or freakin' Col'n Carpenter, anyone is better than that toilet brush.

[Bean Is A Carrot]

Thankfully this quiz tells me I'm not Gervais fan...

the Prankster (38% dark, 31% spontaneous, 26% vulgar) your humor style:
CLEAN | COMPLEX | LIGHT

Your humor has an intellectual, even conceptual slant to it. You're not pretentious, but you're not into what some would call 'low humor' either. You'll laugh at a good dirty joke, but you definitely prefer something clever to something moist.

You probably like well-thought-out pranks and/or spoofs and it's highly likely you've tried one of these things yourself. In a lot of ways, yours is the most entertaining type of humor because it's smart without being mean-spirited.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Conan O'Brian - Ashton Kutcher I barely know the work of O'Brian or Kutcher, though. Damn Yank quizzes, they should put some British comedians in there besides Gervais.

Now I'm a bit worried by my 71% dark :!: What does that say? Eek!

[kat-rant]

oooh, i'm a wit :)

Thanks for taking the edge off kat-rant!

[YMV]

I got the same result as Bean. I'm heartened to know that I'm the opposite of a 'shock jock'.

Yeh, see, i'm darker than you are!! :p

[Bean Is A Carrot]

Me too. If I ever morph into Jon Gaunt or Alan Jones just kill me. But why am I a prankster? I'm not running around with a video camera filming myself dressed as a chicken at the opera or whatever.

Well, it could be worse - you could be what I seem to be:

the Provacateur

(57% dark, 23% spontaneous, 42% vulgar) your humor style:
VULGAR | COMPLEX | DARK

You'll crack on anything, and you're often witty, even caustic, about it.

Therefore, your sense of humor is polarizing. You're transgressive, and you've got a seriously sharp 'edge'--maybe too much for some folks. If they get you, people think you're one of the funniest (and smartest) people in the world. If they don't, they think you're an ass. Whatever, right? While some might question your judgement, your comic intellect is unquestionably respected.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Chris Rock - Lenny Bruce - George Carlin

At least that explains all the people who think I'm an ass...

the Idiot Savant

(48% dark, 50% spontaneous, 63% vulgar)
your humor style:
VULGAR | SPONTANEOUS | LIGHT


You like things silly, immediate, and, above all, outrageous. Ixne on the subtle word play, more testicles on fire, please. People like you are the most likely to RECEIVE internet forwards--and also the most likely to save them in a special folder entitled 'HOLY SHIT'.

Because it's so easily appreciated, and often wacky and physical, your sense of humor never ceases to amuse your friends. Most realize that there's a sly intelligence and a knowing wink to your tastes. Your sense of humor could be called 'anti-pretentious'--but paradoxically enough, that indicates you're smarter than most.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Johnny Knoxville - Jimmy Kimmel


That really sums me up haha

[burger]

Oh dear .... I came out as "Vulgar/ Spontaneous/ Light" as well. I guess that's why I love Blimpy the Lactose Intolerant Cat so much!!!!!!

[menagers]

My husband actually scored 'The Idiot Savant' as well, my complete opposite. No surprises there!

I'm just relieved that we weren't solicited to sell Amway.

[snatto gauro]

(48% dark, 46% spontaneous, 32% vulgar)
your humor style:
CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | LIGHT


Your style's goofy, innocent and feel-good. Perfect for parties and for the dads who chaperone them. You can actually get away with corny jokes, and I bet your sense of humor is a guilty pleasure for your friends. People of your type are often the most approachable and popular people in their circle. Your simple & silly good-naturedness is immediately recognizable, and it sets you apart in this sarcastic world.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Will Ferrell - Will Smith ..........just wish i had some of their cash.

[13 schoolyards]

Amazing how no-one seems to have an annoying sense of humour... guess none of the people who sit near me on the train have taken the quiz yet.

[kat-rant]

I dunno, personally I find vulgar pretty annoying at times, especially from my dad, or any of his mates.....

[burger]

Oh dear.... i love a good joke at the expense of bodily functions! Iam the lowest common denominator!

I'm a wit.
