I didn't get all the references to American actors....

Anyway, I am apparently "the Ham" (9% dark, 53% spontaneous, 15% vulgar) and my humor style is:
CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | LIGHT

the Ham

(9% dark, 53% spontaneous, 15% 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.

My score on The 3 Variable Funny Test:

**************************************

the Wit
((66% dark, 38% spontaneous, 36% 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

the Prankster

(19% dark, 30% spontaneous, 10% 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.

the Idiot Savant

(42% dark, 53% spontaneous, 57% 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 ****'.

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.

the Shock Jock

(66% dark, 57% spontaneous, 68% vulgar)
your humor style:
VULGAR | SPONTANEOUS | DARK


Your sense of humor is off-the-cuff and kind of gross. Is it is also sinister, cynical, and vaguely threatening to the purer folks of this world. You probably get off on that. You would cut a greasy fart, then blame it on your mom, and then just shrug when someone pointed out that she's dead.

Yours is hands-down the most outrageous sense of humor; you like things trangressive and hardcore. It's highly likely (a) you have no limits (b) you have no scruples and (c) you have no job. Ironically, it's your type of humor that can make the biggest bucks in show business.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Howard Stern - Adam Sandler - Roseanne Barr


22. Which of these do you prefer:
a well-planned and perfectly executed practical joke
a clever and crushing comeback
a fart that you cut

Seriously didnt know which one of these to pick

 

Interesting, I came up as a Prankster (hey, so did Nakia - should I be so surprised after all?). I find this odd because I generally loathe pranks - but then I noticed that my diametrical opposite is the Shock Jock. Maybe they're more accurate than I'd care to admit...

 

Naturally Twin. The test didn't give us very much choice and my 'pranks' would be more mental/intellectual than physical. I do not find Whoopee Cushions funny.

This is pretty reasonable, I think, looking at the "Wit" description that I wouldn't fit cos I didn't like the office...it just disturbed me more than amused me

 

My results, which are off because I have never seen Meet the Fockers, Road Trip, The Big Lebowski and Election; but I had to chose one.

Kuemper, it says at the top of the page, "If you haven't seen one do not answer"...I skipped all those questions about films and actors, cos I didn't know them

 

Not too surprising - how I would have rated myself, I think.

But the comparison with age and gender didn't make any sense at all - higher than 99% of others in same age/gender group on all three variables - rather odd, since on two of the variables I scored quite low - perhaps the test hasn't had a lot of old 'uns taking it.

 

Sorry revmaf, I skew those age statistics when I do the quizes. I just can't be bothered to look far enough back for my birth year.

 

My score was The Prankster (47% dark, 34% spontaneous, 15% vulgar).

PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Conan O'Brian - Ashton Kutcher

They are suggesting I like Conan O'Brian or Aston Kutcher? I think not! I would much prefer to watch an intellectual comedian like Groucho Marx over those lame chowderheads.

 

This doesn't make sense... I'm apparently a ham (light, spontaneous, clean) but my humour is completely the opposite; it's why I find Stephen King books often hilarious. I also apparently am more dark than 99% of people who took the test, with 47%...

 

I never put down my correct age for these tests.

 

Ditto, 1st Jan "84 pretty much every time.

 

I didn't know what to answer to half the questions, but I ended up as:

the Comic
(42% dark, 38% spontaneous, 42% vulgar)
your humor style:
VULGAR | COMPLEX | LIGHT


Yours is the most versatile and also the most popular kind of humor. You'll crack a joke about just about anything, but you're not mean-spirited or intimidating, so you can get away with it--even when, for example, you bust on Mexicans.

You appreciate a good dirty joke as much as next person, but, over all, you've got a brainier approach to humor than most. Now just go out there and write up a routine; it's likely you'd be good at it.
