To start of this whole blogging assignment for humor class I figured that I would be a good idea to let everyone know what exactly I find funny, what makes me tick, and how my brain works. I’m writing this first entry like this because I don’t want people to be offended by the things that I write on this. I am not the type of person who likes to go with the norms. If someone tells me that I should go left my first instinct is to right, I’m not sure why I do this but its worked well for me so far. I love shaking things up and I enjoy comics who do the same thing. As far as things that I find funny it is honestly the things that most people would snicker at and say that it was just stupid or rude.
Before I get too far into things that I do enjoy, it’s probably a good idea to talk about some of the things that I absolutely can’t stand when it comes to humor. There are not too many things that wont make me laugh in the right situation, but in general jokes that my parents would find funny and amusing are absolutely not funny to me. This might be due to the fact that I am 21 and there is a divide in the humor that different generations find funny. Actually that is probably a very accurate statement, but I don’t want to get off on a tangent. In general, things that are done tastefully are not going to get me rolling on the floor laughing. That’s not to say that in the right situation these things won’t make me laugh but in general, not my cup of tea.
Now that we know what I don’t find funny, now to talk about what I do enjoy. The best example of something that I enjoy is anything that Tom Green does. This man’s presence just makes me crack up. He is rude, politically incorrect, gross, shocking, and just all around awesome! This man is everything that I want to be and more. I enjoy watching the norms and boundaries of society pushed. If people are going to get mad about it, then I most likely will love it. I am probably a sick puppy but I’m just being honest. I hope this is a good start to a humorous and academic bog.
Attached is a website that is not for the faint of heart, but it is quite possibly the best example of what I find funny.
