Humorless People

Enjoy.

"I wonder if it's possible to be born without a sense of humor. A follower on one of the socials who, apparently, doesn't grasp the humor in posts and responds with either some nasty comment like, "That's not funny!" or "I don't get it, what does that mean?" Are there really humorless people in the world like that?"

Occasionally I've run into people like that. For instance, this meme was greeted by one woman with "There's nothing funny about getting injured!"

 Instead of getting aggravated with them, I feel sorry for them. Imagine going through life and finding little to laugh about.






Readers, do you know any humorless people; folks that can be total buzz-killers?

I think people need to get a sense of humor. And to hang with me one best have a wicked sense of humor as I get snarky...shady...and very politically incorrect.!!!!! And yes people are born without a sense of humor. Look at the dump and the Republican Party.

I can name a few humorless people, but luckily, I don't hang out with them. I've learned that no matter how careful you are with your wording or no matter how innocent a meme actually is, there will always be someone who will be offended. Everything you post is guaranteed to upset someone. Your only options are: Ignore them or Stop posting. Please don't stop putting things out there!

Bet those people miss many social clues also.
What I can’t explain is why they are on social media…

XOXO

Absolutely...either they don't understand or are just plain hard to please...how boring

Boz Bochner berkata...

I've learned the humorless people are generally unhappy and/or have a sub par intelligence level.

You're a lucky one.

whkattk berkata...

You know I love snarky...shady...and politically incorrect.

whkattk berkata...

I've pretty much learned to ignore them. I don't even respond to their comments anymore.

whkattk berkata...

Yeah, good question....

whkattk berkata...

How boring, and joyless.

whkattk berkata...

I never thought about a lower intelligence level - but it makes sense.

Jean berkata...

Yes I can think one person in particular, you often see him laughing and sneering, and you realize that he is never laughing with anyone, he is always laughing at them. Guess who. Hugs and bisous.

Bruce Jensen berkata...

I too feel sorry for people with no sense of humor. Taking it to the extreme, if you can't see the funny side of things life must be overwhelming.

To paraphrase RuPaul, if you can't laugh at yourself how in the hell are you going to laugh at somebody else?

CAAZ berkata...

I try not associate with humorless people, life is too short. Thanks for the eye candy this morning.

The pair of swordsmen needs a caption: "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine!"

And I'd love to fall into a big pile of redheads! Or any pile of intact dudes!

Well... I look at SCROTUS whose only sense of humor is the schadenfreude in pain he inflicts on others, and goes out of his way to attack humor, and generally his addle brained followers take their queues from him. Quite honestly, I have not met any member of MAGA with any form of a normal sense of humor, unless they are screaming "OWNED THE LIB-TARDS! HA! HA! HA! HA!" Their sense of humor, from what I have observed, was replaced by a stick up the ass.

As Robin William would say, "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke!"

whkattk berkata...

Oh, I know, I know!!!
Hugs and bisous.

whkattk berkata...

Yep. There is always truth in comedy, it's why we can usually relate. Thank you for keeping the supply of giggles coming.

whkattk berkata...

He's so right, too.

whkattk berkata...

I do my best to not respond to those folks --- it's impossible to even try to explain things to them.

whkattk berkata...

LOL. I've always liked that picture for some reason.

whkattk berkata...

Exactly. They're finding out the joke is on them and they are the joke.

I love the group portrait of the 5 redheaded gentlemen.

I may not have a sense of humour, but I can still appreciate a well crafted joke that has multiple meanings.

I think the problem in society today is not a lack of humour, but an inability to see all sides of a joke and realise that to be offended by it you are deliberately choosing the most offensive perspective when you could just as easily choose the least offensive interpretation.

Most things aren't offensive in and of themselves but are dependent on the perspective we choose to take, so the responsibility is on us, not the person creating the joke.
