To you, what constitutes a good sense of humor?

    I have the best sense of humor ever. Everything is funny to me. I am completely incapable of taking anything seriously.

    As far as what constitutes a good sense of humor I think there are a few ways to see it. One way to see it is being able to “take a joke,” to know that you shouldn’t be offended depending on the joke.

    Another way to see it is the actual understanding/ability to make jokes and to know when to do so.

    A third way to see it is with your eyes.

    …ok I’ll leave. :P

    I like to think so.

    Someone with a good sense of humor understands why jokes are funny. Similar to how everyone can enjoy music, but a musician enjoys it differently.

    Those people know how to craft a joke, and how to adjust timing to make it funnier, and are the first to laugh or at least acknowledge when that’s a good one.

    The ability to see what is funny in a situation, quick wit, I think that’s a good sense of humor. Understanding what will be funny to your audience. Not mean-ness. Though I do find snarky sarcasm funny, not the hurtful kind.

    And yes, sometimes I am funny, or so I am told.

    I love puns and word play.

    Puns are one of the few forms of humor that doesn’t have a target. No one is ever the butt of a pun and that is what I like about them.

    I can laugh at deadpan, satire, parody, dark, puns, self deprecating humor but find it hard to laugh at cringe comedy. I generally get when something is supposed to be funny, but it can be harder with some like satire.
    I can’t tell whats considered “good” though.

    Apparently not, because I detest webcomics. And people think they are wildly funny and so entertaining. I think once or twice in 10 years I’ve smirked at a webcomic.
