*shakes head* Too funny.

INTJs can be quite funny, but their humor switch usually only has two labels:*shakes head* Too funny.
Mac Guffin what IS your type??
The type who wishes he was funny.
An INTP said this to me, oh, about two years ago.
I didn't believe it then, but it's been in the back of my brain since... and it is correct.
NFs just aren't that funny. They can have a wonderful sense of humor, quick to laugh and appreciate jokes. A few are funny on occasion and they will play off another's humor as well.
They just are rarely the one who comes up and gets others to laugh on their own.
Agree or disagree?
I will treasure my "LOL" rep from you forever.The type who wishes he was funny.

Isn't that a little like encouraging a gimp to play dodgeball Jag? *tsk tsk* I don't know...

Trying to be funny in a thread where you are accused of not being funny is only going to make you seem like you're trying very hard, which is never funny.
NF's know what is funny.. But they take themselves too seriously to be very funny themselves.. Just an observation.. and possibly a skewed one..
Everyone else tells me my humor doesn't make any sense, or even insist that I was serious and not joking.
But then I have a pretty puerile sense of humor anyway, I talk about lemonade and strawberry sauce.
The best example I can think of that is Morrissey, who people think is whiny, but his lyrics so funny if you get it.
Eh, not accounting for personal taste, you have to know funny INFs well before you get to see them in full flight. Otherwise, you get the humor-lite version. Funny INFs are funny in a personalized way, using the things they know about you once you have some comfortable history together.
I can't take the gloves off until I know a person well enough to know I won't go too far. I once told a morbid, offensive joke when I was 13 that cut too close to the bone for the recipient. Stuck with me for life.
My family and the men I have dated particularly mention that I am one of the funniest people they know. *shrugs* With anyone else and at TypeC I am typically more concerned with not being offensive/keeping my humor to myself. Irl I don't like playing to a crowd either, (too impersonal), so it's also more of a one-on-one thing.
When I'm in an exhausted, pissy, wrung-out mood, my "t" kicks in and I'm very funny. I can make INTJs laugh when I'm feeling that way.
The issue with NFs are they don't be rude to others, insult others or make racist jokes. We NTs love to be rude to others (INTJs), insult others (ENTJs) and make cute subtle racist remarks (xNTP).
So does NF stand for not funny?
No- it stands for New Funny- NF's are putting the system on trial and are light years ahead of other comedians and humor- the rest of the world is having to catch up with us.
