Re: Different types of humour
Satire is okay, often more useful than it is funny imo. It's a good way to get your point across or get through censorship. Gallows humor is sort of similar in the sense that it can be useful too. Sort of like a coping mechanism.
Dark humor is a great one, good comedy has no limit on subjects. South Park always captured this well. May as well try to get a chuckle out of things.
Dry humor is underrated. It's probably my favorite, I'm sort of boring so it clicks with me.

Re: Different types of humour
...I really, really love sh*tty dad jokes. Pathetic puns and wordplay. There's nothing that I love more than that look. The look of disgust mixed with anguish and horror. 'Yeah, that's about what I expected from you, Boo the buttface', or 'that was garbage, even for you' or 'go to hell and kiss the devil, you love him so dang much.' It's my favourite thing.
I enjoy hurting people----------it's the Catholic in me. I've found a relatively gentle outlet.

Re: Different types of humour
Satire, parody, slapstick, puns, comedic irony, exaggeration, dark/gallows humor, bawdy humor, absurdism, deadpan,....
Comedy is one of the things I do. I know it well.
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
