That makes sense, but I think it actually applies to most NJ and NP types.
NP's are kind of jesters, always trying to be kind of odd and funny without thinking about it, while NJ's tend to be more serious, and make more direct yet subtle humor.
It's hard to explain without examples, so I'll use a common example of mine:
"What's up?"
"The opposite of down."
Is that similar to the kind of joke you're talking about? Also, I'm not sure how to explain the kind of jokes NP's make... one of them will have to do that.

ENTP's Are The Best
ENTP sense of humour
We do the 'tongue in cheek' thing on a regular basis. When we do, ENTJ's as often as not, think we're being serious. But ENTJ's aren't the only ones who do that. I'm not saying we're not arrogant as a type in general, or denying that arrogance is a flaw to which we're particularly prone. But I am saying that a lot of what we say is falsely attributed to arrogance, when in fact, it's simply humour - just being silly - and in fact quite the opposite of arrogance - we're mocking ourselves

Much of the time I'll start saying a joke out loud before I even come up with it in my head. 90% of the time this causes to me to be fast, witty, and funny, and the other 10% of the time it causes me to say really stupid things that don't really make any sense or are considered to be way too offensive.
I don't care about mistakes though. There's this quote from The 48 Laws of Power that reminds me of how I usually act. "Any mistakes you committ through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity."
And I definitely agree with what Substitute said about arrogance. Maybe I'm joking, maybe I'm mocking myself, or maybe I'm just trying to inspire people. If it was true arrogance, I wouldn't flaunt it around like that.

I think you're right. I notice NJs (particularly INTJs) tend to be very laconic/sarcastic, NPs silly/sarcastic.
Unfortunately, I'm too nice to be funny
or people can't tell when I'm joking with them so then I have to say, "I'm just fuckin wit cha!" which kills it so back to not being funny.

I like your avatar proteanmix
That's my kind of humor
Well thank you very much. It was either that or the one attached. I thought of the children.
lol
Nice, but I didn't find that one as funny as the ceiling cat. There's something about the surrealism of the situation coupled with the unpolitically correct aspect which I find hilarious.
On another note, here's a Monty Python video that I really like:

Sometimes I can't, and sometimes the tests can't either... I've tested as ENTJ 2 out of 5 times this month...
And I am beginning to wonder...

Sometimes I contemplate world domination, but that's only to see if I could really do it. Once I'd conquered the world I'd simply give it back. Conquering worlds is much more fun than ruling them.

Hm, when I find a way whereby a PhD in medieval history gives me deep insight into the MBTI system, I'll let you know

You see, that's ENTJ humour. More direct.
An ENTP would play along for a longer time..
It's kind of hard to describe the difference, actually, now that I think about it. P humour in general is just more unplanned and moronic. When a P makes a joke, they do it so that the entire execution of it is amusing to watch. When a J makes a joke, they make it so that if you took a second to think about the mechanics of it, it would be really quirky and/or clever as well as funny.
