Racist/Dark humor. Pretty much anything that can offend people. Although I like when you combine racist/dark humor with everyday life situations. Louis C.K. does it beautifully.

I sove situational humour... humour found in everyday things... funny stories, or things that actually happened/happens! Stand up is the best place for this...
I absolutely love Michael McIntyre when he does his bit on why Tractors, that are made for driving on fields, insist on driving very slowly in front of you, on a road, next to the field!!
I also like dark/black humour, commonly found in the UK with programmes like Peep Show and the Inbetweeners!
Finally I do love some clever wordplay and one liners... Milton Jones is my favourite one liners gag artist!

Dark humour can be really awesome.
Like that time one of my friends said that there had been a shootout on a Finnish school and 1 student was killed. A female friend of mine said "Oh my god, that's horrible. If it were me I would have made sure to kill more than one!"

I love dark and offensive jokes. Offbeat are pretty good too, but most of the time they don't translate well from text or a skit to a joke.
Woah. I did Nazi that one coming.BathorysGraveland said:

I saw him live a couple of years ago and he was terrible. There's only so long you can stretch calling everyone in the audience (and in general) an 'insert any number and combination of swear words here' and telling that one joke about the Queen's haunted vagina. We get it. It's 'edgy'. Urgh. That was the least laughter filled couple of hours I think I've ever sat through.
He was better on panel shows, like Mock the Week, when he had other people to bounce off of, but on his own, he's the most mindless one trick pony I've ever seen.

OT: I like surrealism, like Monty Python, sketch comedy and musical jokes, like songs by Bill Bailey and Tim Minchin. Those types of things never fail to make me laugh.
I'm a fan a variety of types but Dark Humour is probably my favourite.
I suggested to my wife that she'd look sexier with her hair back.
Which is apparently an insensitive thing to say to a cancer patient.

Yeah, I like those, although I voted ironic in the poll, which I think also covers some of the same ground. I think you might like some of these jokes [http://www.btinternet.com/~moononastick/sp58/Man1-Joke.htm] from excellent 1990's/early 2000's British Teletext [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletext] gaming magazine Digitiser [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitiser], well known for surreal comedy, the bashing of zealots (who are now known as fanboys), and the eschewing of points-based review systems.Ectoplasmicz said:
Some examples:
Q: Why do whistles go "wheeee"?
A: Air blows through them.
Q: What did the man say to the waiter?
A: "Hello, dude"!
And my personal favourite:
Q: Why did the doctor observe the patient?
A: No one knows that.
And now I am driven to post a few clips of the closest my favourite comedian Stewart Lee has come to telling an actual joke, from his early years:
And a slightly more recent one:
