Etc.

Let's face it. He's a life-form made of space dust and Canadians.
I only think he is because he reminds very much of a male INFP I once knew, the dark/self deprecating humor covering the sensitivity and the complexity and obscure references. His humor mostly rests on "isn't this joke awful and aren't we deluded to think it is funny?" When he tells those awful "fart" type jokes, he is doing so to provoke the "ugh!" reaction and then laughs about that. The fart isn't funny, it is funny that he dared try and tell such a bad joke. It is complex.

Otherwise I would have typed him differently. There's simply no way he is a male INFJ. He is dark in humor but not dark enough to be INFJ, he's got the childlike Si thing going on and he is far too Ne to be INFJ.

I could buy INTP with well developed Fe/Si, but sensitivity seems more INFPish. The childish flavor of Si in 3rd position shows in Conan. Check the Nerd, Geek or Dork thread, as many INFP come out pure nerd as INTP. Being into bookish things and making references to them does not mean he is not a Feeler.
