I was recently discussing about comedy and humor with my American friend. I find it hard to laugh at typical "intelligent" stand-up comedy. Everyday or political stories rarely make me laugh.
Instead, I crack up at stupid, mindless, childish, unconventional, absurd, twisted, and dark stuff. Finnish Studio Julmahuvi (“Studio Cruelty”), Leslie Nielsen, Uuno Turhapuro (a classic Finnish comedy character and antihero), and silly memes all get me laughing. It's even funnier when other people don’t get it. 🤣
I prefer old-fashioned hijinks like Pat & Mat, Buster Keaton, and Charlie Chaplin over the typical "when I went to a restaurant" type of jokes. I'm difficult and picky that way when it comes to humor.
Because I use my brainpower and intelligence in everyday programming, I like my comedy to be as low-level and simple as possible - when I laugh, I want to be an ameba.
So, for someone who likes stand-up comedians like Jim Jefferies, Jim Carrey, Seth Rogen, and Ismo Leikola, what would you recommend?
