I wish more people would find the funny in my Dark Humor, but then again I think it just adds to my charmBlindswordmaster said:
Nothing says funny like being the one dude who would probably laugh maniacally as the world burned....
Only nerd jokes.
For example:
Teacher: Now, in the French and Indian War, who'd you side with, the French or the British.
Me: British, because the French would surrender.
Only my friends got it.

They do, as long as it is within their moral borders. If it's not, some are eager to let me know it's not "ok". After making some comparisons using some logic it usually shut´s em up and puts em into some deep thinking though... or maybe they just fantasize about strangling me.
"My mom thinks I'm funny" Actually it seems my mother, and a couple of my friends, actually get my sense of humour. I once, unknowingly, made a co-worker upset because I got, fake, angry when she asked me to do a "massive massive favour" and hand her a bottle from the next room. It was a tiny trivial thing, and she asked me like she wanted me to go to her house and do her laundry. I had to apologise and say it was all a joke. Then again she gets worked up over practically everything.
As a general matter, people do pretty well with my humor, which relies heavily on sarcasm, 80s pop culture references, wordplay, and insult humor directed at corporations and government.
I also tend to rely on volume - as once person once said of me, "if you miss one of his jokes, just wait around. The next one will be there in a couple of minutes."

People usually get it but I don't think I'm particularly funny. Not in face-to-face conversation anyway, I do a bit better when I talk to my friends on-line. Not sure why, probably because I have time to better articulate what I was thinking in the first place.
Most of the time people do. Sometimes I might throw in a witty remark to something that was just said that people didn't catch or get the link to (I guess these things sound more obvious in your head) and then I don't bother explaining the joke, but then that person demands to know, and you just mess around with them for a bit but not tell them... Yeah I get that.
Things I'm bad at:
[li]Sarcasm[/li]
[li]Recounting a funny story[/li]
[li]Telling actual jokes[/li]
Things I'm good at:
[li]Witty commentary[/li]
[li](The occasional) pun(s)[/li]
Most of the time I just lose what I'm saying to unclear speech...
One major rule I find is that people find a joke far funnier when they work it out entirely by themselves. If you give them any hints at what you're implying, they'll just look disapproving and wander off... or something.

It depends on the person really, I have avery dry sense of humour so a lot of people don't know how to take it.
my friends do, less intelligent people don't get quite a lot of it, and then my family really doesn't. Why do I keep trying with them?
