Comedy masterpiece, no other movie has come close.
Leap that wall if you're so great
Recently, The Eric Andre Show. I've been watching it on Hulu and it's just so bizarre and funny as hell.
The intros always make me crack up:

Okay, what I get from the above is that ResetERA people have an incredibly broad definition of funny.
Humour is very broad. People who try to define it in narrower terms tend to not understand it.
Don't worry, he also thought turning off the tv while your kid is playing Fortnite will cause them to grow up and become deranged.
This isn't a shot at any one user or topic but a lot of the times humor threads on Era or the other place way back in the day would totally alienate me. Like, there's nothing more uncomfortable than realizing people you like have a terrible or bland sense of humor. I say this but I laugh at the most asinine brain-dead stuff on LGBT twitter.
Humor is so broad, but I admire and enjoy smart/clever shit and people that upend expectations and find the absurdity in daily life. Which can run the gamut from George Carlin/Mitch Hedberg to Desus & Mero to Eric Andre/Hannibal Buress to Larry David/Jerry Seinfeld.
I think Golden Era Simpsons/Seinfeld, Chappelle's Show and Prime Late Night with Conan inform a lot of where my formative sense of humor comes from.

I generally find people who take themselves way too seriously to be pretty funny to watch.
It's even funnier when they try to hold everyone else to their standard and no one else cares.

Usually absurd humour.
Movies I'd actually laughed at, as opposed to a cracking a smile or chuckling, include Top Secret, Kung Pow, and Naked Gun (that bribery scene).
TV shows include the Simpsons, 30 Rock, Kimmy Schmidt (especially so!).
Sometimes something hits just the right spot, and I hurt from trying not to laugh. There was a time when I could not LOOK at this picture, I couldn't even THINK of it, because it would hurt me.
I still smile when I read Oat Goblins, but I don't know why.

This has me horse laughing
Sketch, surreal, and black comedy. e.g I like stuff ranging from Chris Morris' films (i.e the jihad satire Four Lions) to Monty Python.
I rarely enjoy any output from the U.S.

This thread reads like a bunch of people sampling each others farts like a fine wine.
Anyway, stuff that would probably get me banned on here I find funny. Dark I suppose would be the term. Absurdist?

Da Ali G Show and all the things it spawned might be the hardest I've ever laughed at anything.
When Sacha Baron Cohen asks C. Everett Coop why skeletons are always doing evil stuff I laughed as hard as I've ever laughed. Close second is the interview with the veterinarian.
The Onion holds a near and dear place in my heart. "Archeologists discover ancient race of skeleton people." comes instantly to mind.
A Confederacy of Dunces is my favorite book.
The Simpsons and It's Always Sunny are my two favorite shows.
My favorite comedians are Bill Hicks and Gilbert Gottfried.
I love when incredibly stupid things are presented very seriously.

I like it when drama and comedy aren't separated. I watched In Bruges recently and that got the balance perfectly. I'll laugh more at stuff like Killing Eve, being human and Orphan Black than I will most sit coms.
All get a bit crazy but are still grounded, so I guess that heightened reality(?) appeals too.
I also lmao at Legends of Tomorrow which can get completely mental but is a lot lighter.
Away from that Frasier was amazing for mixing the best of British and American humour styles.

Haha, still cracks me up.
I like different kinds of humor, ranging from really dark gallows humor to naked gun stuff, to absurd Python esque to really cringey stuff. I think my favorite comedy series is The Thick Of it. Only thing I don't like is the really simple type, like stupid movies like Scary Movie.
Yeah sure Steve no problem ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME WE'RE LIVE!!!
