Do you laugh at the same things with your partner or friends? Here’re 8 types of humor.PhysicalThis style of humour involves physicality. It can be everything from clowns to mimes to funny facial expressions to someone falling over.
Self-deprecatingThis kind of humour is a favourite among stand-up comedians, in which they basically make themselves the butt of a joke and are rewarded with laughs.
SurrealAs suggested by the name, this style of humour can be pretty weird, featuring illogical events, absurd situations or nonsensical themes. Or in other words, just plain silly.
ImprovisationalComedy without a plan. Ever seen ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ or ‘Thank God You’re Here?’
Wit-WordplayUsually a play on words, this humour involves twisting language around with humorous results. (And yes, puns do fall into this category).
TopicalHumour based on current events or trends. ‘Saturday Night Live’ would be a prime example of this
ObservationalThe ability to poke fun at everyday life.
DarkThis style of humor usually involves some dark, depressing underlying themes, but throws some comical or unusual situations in this setting.
