I find that Ne based humor either goes off AWESOME or HORRIBLE.
There is no in-between!

So, the only way to be funny is to to do it by accident? Telling a joke or making a comment with the intention of producing laughs is not funny?
to tie this back into the real topic here- someone saying 'watch how funny dane cook is' its like comedy is being forced on you and its alot less natural when all things funny are condensed into a 3 minute video.
My problem with humour is stopping myself from trying to be funny once I get on a bit of a roll. Sometimes I have to literally walk away and get a hold of myself. I mean literally walk away and figuratively get a hold of myself. Don't want to confuse you there.
I laugh at pain; raw, stupid inspired, unintentioned pain.
Why would you want to stop yourself from being funny once you get on a roll?
My "problem" is that I see alot of jokes coming. I don't necessarily see the punchline, but I see where misdirection is being planted and can see where the joke is going. It kills the surprise, and without surprise, there is no laughter.

I'm not sure if this is just me but I get called lame sometimes because of my humour. When I get called lame, it is usually after I have made a joke using wordplay ...
Probably because the person is less intelligent than you, and you make them feel stupid. Or they are just ignorant.
Well, I did qualify my roll as being "a bit of a roll" ie not comedic gold. The problem I have is that it starts off as a bit of a roll and then turns into more of a nosedive, or a limp sprawl. So I prefer to err on the side of underplaying my hand rather than overplaying it in the humour stakes. Ideally. In a world where I am not me. :rolli:
Sadly it seems I get the most laughs when I`m being unintentionally funny.
Haha I wish. I think everyone has called me lame at least once but then no one ever really gets what I'm on about most of the time.
Eh wellio, Ne humour is awesome even when it's horrible.
I'm going to stick my neck out and say that INFPs have a broad range of humour - black comedy, sarcasm, puns, slapstick, one liners, stupid shit and everything in between- BUT are actually quite hard to make them laugh, specially if you can see a punchline transmitted
In school I sometimes got the people around me in trouble. I would mutter a running commentary on the class and make the people around me laugh. Then, of course, I would feel guilty for getting them into trouble. The teachers almost never called me out since I was always a good student.
