People often confused the terms “good sense of humor” and “funny”. Someone who is funny does not always have a good sense of humor, and someone with a good sense of humor could at the same time be the most unfunny person you’ve ever met.
Another misconception, is that having a good sense of humor is an entirely subjective matter, and cannot accurately be gauged. This is incorrect. It is 100% an objective matter. Humor on the other hand is subjective. But having a good sense of it? Nope.
Think you could be one of the lucky people on this earth blessed with a good sense of humor? Take a look at the top signs that you have a good sense of humor, and if you match with at least a couple of them: welcome.
1. You Can Truly Laugh at Yourself
You know what I’m talking about. When it’s your turn to get roasted by your friends. When you drop plate of spaghetti on your white pants. When you stutter for just a little too long. These are all instances where your good sense of humor should kick in, and you find it in you to laugh. If you aren’t able to laugh at yourself at all? Then you just might not have a good sense of humor.
2. You Appreciate the Layers of Comedy
You’re a fan. You’re there for the craft. You see comedy as an art and you just enjoy taking it in. It takes a person with a good sense of humor to appreciate the setup, the timing, the sarcasm, the misdirection, the self deprecation: whatever makes that punch line really punch. If you’re one of the people who really loves the layers that go into humor, then it’s very possible you have a good sense of it.
3. You Find Humor in Everything
This one really covers it all. This is at the heart of the philosophy behind the “good sense of humor”. If you are someone who finds humor in more places than the average person, then you are an individual with a good sense of humor. If you can laugh as hard at a fart joke as you do at a quantum mechanics joke, you’ve got the gift. Let’s put it like this: the person with the best sense of humor on planet earth is someone who finds EVERYTHING funny, and they are laughing all the time.
