Every Type of Humor Explained in 4 Minutes 

The best kind of humor is those people who make a joke with a serious attitude without laughing and finally smile a little, but their humor is strong.

Perfect video for alien who is trying to act like a human

"Surreal humor can be one of the hardest types of humor to use" Proceeds to show the funniest shit I've seen all day

Dry humor is such a special kind of humor, gets me every time

Started giggling at the tiger during the surreal humor section. I'm cooked

Thanks for explaining what sarcasm is! I definitely didn't know what it was and you totally helped!!!

My favorite joke combines multiple genres. "A horse walks into a bar. The bartender refuses to serve him because he is an alcoholic."

I cried laughing because that Tiger came so unexpected. It's over for me.

The first one is always so embarrassing because I try to be nice by laughing at their joke and then it backfires 😭😭

I tink "inside-jokes" also deserve a spot since the laughter comes almost totally from a shered experience of a very restricted group of people.

Its a pain combining Dry humor and Sarcasm when people genuinenly think youre serious.

waiting for next weeks episode that just ends with "callback - a joke that references an earlier event in a humorous way"

Where’s cringe humor

Fun Trivia: "Slapstick" was so dubbed in the era of silent shorts, when such films would be accompanied by live music (anything from a single pianist to a full orchestra) and, sometimes, by foley (sound effect) performers. The most common foley used for when someone got smacked on-screen was literally either a pair of flat sticks slapped together or just one slapped against a cushion or other such object. Films which featured a lot of 'abusive' physical comedy involved a lot of stick slapping - hence, becoming known as "slap-stick".

A joke I have heard from my German friend: What's red and bad for your teeth? A brick.

I think Norm Macdonald is the best example of anti-humour. His interviews at Conan's always had anti-humour jokes.

isn't "black humor" more commonly referred to as dark humor?

The picture of the tiger during the surreal part made me laugh too hard. I finally have a term for modern internet humour.

Off topic: Spongebob has mastered grotesque humor to a tee, and even revolutionized it.

Toilet/Potty/Scatological Humor: An easy form of comedy, usually targeted at children, where people use humor related to bathrooms and bodily functions regarding feces and other functions that are considered taboo. This form of humor is extremely common in comedy, however it is often seen as a cheap form of humor that requires little to no effort to utilize. Properly implemented humor can be extremely effective for your audience however, compared to frequent usage without any proper setup.

2:07 as someone who is blind, I completely agree with the fact that using black humour can often reduce pain of difficult topics. I make blind puns on a nearly everyday basis.

0:25 I have a “shaggy dog story” style story right here: A guy’s car broke down in front of a monastery. He asked the monks if he could stay the night. They invited him in, giving him food, water, shelter, and they even fixed his car. During the night, he heard a strange noise. He asked about it and they said “I can’t tell you, because you’re not a monk”. 1 year later exactly, he broke down in front of that same monastery. He was given food, water, shelter, and they even fixed his car. During the night, he heard that noise again. He asked about it, to which the monks replied “I can’t tell you because you’re not a monk. He then asks, what do i need to do to become a monk? They reply that he has to count every grain of sand on earth, and every blade of grass. He sets off on his journey, counting grain by grain, blade by blade until finally, after 60 years, he has his count. “I have counted every grain of sand, and every blade of grass. There are 1835635 grains of sand and 3573425618 blades of grass. I am ready to become a monk”. The monks say “Congratulations, you are now a monk!”. “What was the noise that I heard, back when i first visited?” The man asked. They said “The answer is right behind this door.” The man tried opening the large golden door but it was locked. “Very funny, can i have the key?”. “Very well then.” the monk replied. Behind it was a silver door, and the man asked for a key to that one. There was then an amethyst door, a bronze door, a topaz door, a glass door, a wooden door and finally an emerald door. He opened it and he saw the source of the noise. You might want to know the source of the noise now, right? Well i can’t tell you, because you’re not a monk.

Army office worker here. Dry humour mixed with some satire is something that allows you to overcome the daily routine, yet sometimes it's better to split them up.

The perfect humour is when you look your homie in the eyes withou saying a word and you both start laughing

Answering questions in a serious tone but with a ridiculous answer is my favorite comedy.

The dark humor one was explained so well. So many people fail at actually doing it well

the tiger image at 2:36 bro 😭🙏

Spongebob close-ups be like: 3:00

Satire is goated

The best joke I've ever heard was only funny to me because I misunderstood it as a child: "Why can't penguins fly? Because they are chocolate biscuits." I thought the joke was in the non-sequitur. It was hysterical to my 6- or 7-year-old self (ok fine maybe to my current self as well) that such an obviously untrue fact was given as the reason for penguins' lack of flight😅. Pure silliness! The joke was actually a pun ("Penguins" are a brand of chocolate bar/biscuit in the UK) but it went right over my head. What's staggering about my level of brainfart there is that Penguin bars are known for having jokes on the wrapper, and that's where I came across this one. I was holding a Penguin chocolate biscuit in my hand and still managed to miss the pun lol

First example of grotesque humor that comes to mind is Flapjack Those super detailed closeups were crazy

Fun fact about sarcasm is that for people with adhd it's a lot harder to gleam actual meaning for if a phrase is sarcasm or not because we focus exclusively on the words rather than the tone so often times we take things literally unless we're directly looking for sarcasm

"There are only three forms of comedy: the comedy of repetition, the comedy of repetition, and the comedy of repetition." (source unknown).

There's also Reference humour - When something is funny because it calls back to a previous joke or moment Hmm humour - Similar to grotesque humour, but not as disturbing Bamboozelment humour - This one's a little hard to explain, so here's a video explaining it better than I can ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dQw4w9WgXcQ.html Weed eater

Wordplay/Puns, Highbrow, One-Liner, Anecdotal, Hyperbolic, Farce, Parody (that's similar to Farce and to Satire, but not exactly the same thing...), Surprise & Incongruity... I might be missing more, but I always wonder about these videos that say "every" and then I look it up and there are more that weren't covered here...unless...that's making us "in on the joke" which is also a type of humor....

I got 2 anti-humors I made "Hey do you know what [...] did?" "No, what did they do?" "I dunno that's why I'm asking you!" And "Bro you're not gonma believe this." "What?" "You're not gonna believe it : ("

1:08 While slapstick can be enjoyed solely through vision, it can also be enjoyed only through hearing. Also who the heck named erotic humor "Green humor"? Is it because green is not a warm color and thus doesn't resemble blood rush?

Lol this reminds me of a time where I was on a register and this lady said she had a coupon for her items. I patiently waited for her to find it. Waited... and waited... and waited... and then she gives me a coupon. I check it out and apply it. She saved $2 on her item.

My favorite type of comedy is comedy of errors. It's funny when everything goes wrong. The worse a situation gets, the funnier it is! It kind of falls in the realm of slapstick humor, but it's more situational comedy than slapstick, I'd say. Either way, it never fails to make me laugh.

I say a lot of out-of-pocket things, even when I don’t mean to. This makes people laugh pretty much every time I open my mouth. It’s most likely from me being a little bit on the spectrum; my knowledge of some things while being completely clueless about other stuff is what does it.

I had a friend who would always expect me to understand sarcasm when they would text me and it was very annoying, because as you said, it’s hard to tell sarcasm just by the words

Just found your channel recently and love this stuff! I hope this guys was the original and not one of the knock offs I keep getting recommended

I didn't ask for this, but I sure needed this. Thanks.

Anti-humour gets me every single time. The jokes make absolutely no sense and you mostly laugh at how stupid and absurd the context is: "I always keep a £5 bill in my right shoe for emergency purposes. It took a while, but I finally found myself in a pickle and needed to use the £5. When I pulled it out of my sock, it was completely blank - friction and sweat had wiped it clean! The cashier couldn't accept it." 😂🤣

In stand-up: □ "White Humor" = Safe/Clean □ "Black Humor" = Black Comedy □ "Green Humor" = Blue Humor ("Green" = inexperienced)

1am high, this is a nice video nice info not to short and not to long. Appreciate it sir.

Thank you for getting straight into the video!

I have serious ADHD and I didn't skip five seconds once. Short and to the point, and it puts what's difficult to put into words... into words.

I thought dry humor was called Deadpan

dry humor reminded me what my dumb young self said once. i was reading a magazine, as a kid i liked it cuz it had various comics and puzzles, like find the difference or crosswords. it also had jokes. as i was reading them, my dad walked into the room and after a moment of silence, he asked "what are you reading?" i said "jokes" with a completely straight face and in the most monotone voice ever. he started laughing. i didn't because i wasn't kidding. the reason i wasn't laughing or even smiling at the jokes was because i was too young to understand any of them lmao

I love this channel

I think a much more popular example of anti-humor/anti-jokes is "why did the chicken cross the road?"

Surreal humour for the win

I love this!

i needed this

Your video ideas are always so good. Awesome video idea!

I love the drawings :D

I’ve been working on dry since high school and now no one can tell when I’m being serious. It’s great.

Great stuff. I’ve been researching this for decades. Hard to find good data. - Can you do one on ‘comedic devices’?

What a wonderful species we are that we have all these different ways to laugh.

1:25 Dad humour

You must do a part 2. So many other styles to cover!

i’d love to watch a whole comedians special with the logos of what humour is being described in the moment

Satire is the GOAT!!! I love satire especially South Park and coming up with funny situations and imagining that they were real!

Yay, new video

This channel is genuinely incredibly helpful, as an autistic person it helps a lot

Everyone who's starting out in the internet landscape should watch this video

3:34 relatable memes

1:47 Dark Humour. it's Dark Humour

I enjoy every single one of these

I still don't get how sarcasm in real life is funny but sarcasm in modern movies or media just sounds so unbelievably cringe I die

What would something like misdirection be classified under? It's a curveball type of humor I use and relate to quite a bit. A mix of some of these maybe?

the surreal humor example is one of the funniest things I've seen this year so far

We need a list of comedians/ popular shows that specialise in each of these

2:55 flapjack did the the best at grotesque humor

I’m: - Dry humor - Black humor - Satire - Surreal (RU-vid Poops) - Observational and idk what it’s called but the kind of humor where you watch things that are so bad they’re funny.

This is the most important video on the internet imo

My brain was like: Where's the random humor and the loud humor? None the less, great video!

1:47 I thought it was called ‘dark humor’…it is called dark humor 😅

0:39 I use sarcasm everyday LMAO

You have a new sub

We need someone to do a tierlist of these

I would make a joke, but I’m not funny sorry guys....

0:10 “Explain it…”

This is the type of video to be recommended 12 years later.

Thank you for inventing all 14 types of humour in the year of our lord 2024. Truly one of the videos of all time

In the UK Green humour is actually known as Blue humour

When he said surreal humor my brain immediately made the connection to the current day memes, and then he shared the exact type I was talking about. A nonsense image of a buff tiger, and I laughed out loud, legitimately. I know surreal humor has been around a long time but I feel like we've perfected it these last few years

Well made guide for the acoustic ones

This is perfect video 👌👌

Ohh, thank you for actually discussing the names too! I never knew how to describe my repulsion for grotesque humor... But now I know why it repulses me. It's meant to be grotesque 😂

What is a musician's favorite snack? ... No seriously that I'm supposed to host the dinner for the local band and I don't know what to make please help me

Black jokes matter

Dry humour, sarcasm and satire are my fav.

I like the combination of Surreal humor and dry humor The kind of situation: You sit at a dinner table with some friends. One of them is really zoned out and as you all speak, this friend suddenly looks up at you all.... and just says "It has been done" with a full on serious, uet surprised expression or if you add autodestructive into that mix: You trip in public... get up and say "Too many legs. This body has too many legs... Gotta fix that in the next version"

I need examples

I want to say my sense of humor is definitely Green, Black, Insult and Dry Humor

As an undercover alien,this video really helped me out.

Amazing!!

Most people on the internet really have no knowledge of what black humor really is. Every time I watch meme vids or liotterally anything on YT, somebody is going to make a sexual/racist/seriously messed up joke about univerally ANYTHING they saw in the video. When you tell them what they said wasn't even a joke, they get mad, call you a snowflake and tell you to take a joke. Seriously, if you want to use dark humor, do it right!
