Since humour is srs business for Discordians, I found the little diagram at the end of this test really quite interesting

Oh, I scored prankster, if you were wondering. Quel surprise and all that.
QuoteYour humor's mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there's something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren't themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top.
Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing.
spose so
definitely not a punster :argh!:
i got "the Provacateur"
"the Shock Jock"
"the Cutting Edge" :?
I got The Wit.
You are incorrect, this is not interesting.
...but that didn't stop me from taking it:
the Wit
(62% dark, 38% spontaneous, 32% 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.
This thing says I am smart. Now I feel good.
Also The Wit. I just need to fit in, I guess.
Also, I outscored 82% of my peers on darkness. I am so goth I bleed absinthe shadows.
That's going to be my next poem.
the definition for provacateur
QuoteYour result for The 3 Variable Funny Test ...
the Provacateur
(57% dark, 38% spontaneous, 47% vulgar)
your humor style:
VULGAR | COMPLEX | DARK
You'll crack on anything, and you're often witty, even caustic, about it.
Therefore, your sense of humor is polarizing. You're transgressive, and you've got a seriously sharp 'edge'--maybe too much for some folks. If they get you, people think you're one of the funniest (and smartest) people in the world. If they don't, they think you're an ass. Whatever, right? While some might question your judgement, your comic intellect is unquestionably respected.

The problem with this test was it really didn't incorporate or address dry humor, which as one may have discerned by now, is sort of where I tend to derive most of my humor from.
I'm a shock jock?
Hm.

the Shock Jock
(52% dark, 42% spontaneous, 47% 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.

I blame my Jewish homosexual Freshman year roommate. The guy was wittier than anyone I've ever met. Totally off the cuff, too. Learned so much from the guy.
Me: Zeke, dude... hang a sock on the door, or something, if you're gonna spank it.
Zeke: The first time I did. But that was a couple hours ago, and I haven't had a chance to get any quarters for laundry, so um...
or
Me: What's the GLBSU?
Zeke: It's like a college League of Gaytions. GAYTO, if you will.
Favorite:
Me: Dude, we got a nest or something outside. I've already killed two or three bees, this morning.
Zeke: Well, was it two bees or not two bees?

The reason the cut off points aren't at 50% is because the cutoff depends on absolute results while the percentages refer to your position in relation to the other testees.
