Lol, My best friend of 8 years is actually an ESTJ or an ENTJ, not sure. We practically grew up together so it's funny to see how different we turned out to be. They're amazing. They can be harsh and sometimes they make me cry but I love them cause I know they love me too and also mean the best. They help me out in the best way they can (except when I'm too emotional ofc, but these days they seem to try their best there too) and also push me to make my own decisions. They're also really confident, assertive, hardworking, and funny 😆 They're an excellent leader! And I find that truly admirable. Loyalty and friends seem to mean a lot to them- maybe not as much as their work and 'What's really important' as they would put it. But they do care, they do love and it's quite obvious, even if it's not. They don't usually outwardly say that they do, but I know what they mean^^ most of the time 😅 Honestly, they're the only person that I truly feel that understands me besides my mum Oh and for clarification- I'm an INFP 4w5 and she's an ENTJ/ESTJ (still not sure) Also here's a recent online conversation my friend group had (I'll refer to us by our MBTI) INFP: I just want snacks! I want SNACKS! AAAAH INTP: person below shall not have snacks ENTJ/ESTJ: (replies cause they didn't see the text) INFP: ENTJ/ESTJ you shall not have snacks ENTJ/ESTJ: NO ENTJ/ESTJ: replying to INTP: no you INTP: replying to INFP: neither can you ENTJ/ESTJ: NEITHER CAN YOU INTP: fxck it, no one here gets snacks INFP: YEAH INTP: *burns all the snacks* INFP: This is how I imagine our trip to the pier will be like ENTJ/ESTJ: nah man it cant be like this INFP: If we end up burning the pier, ENTJ/ESTJ's paying ENTJ/ESTJ: because im the only one with a stable career INFP: LMAO True 💀
Thank you for answering my question! I agree that NF humor is very much about people's inner worlds. My favourite jokes are when people discuss their insecurities or failings in a really funny way, or poke fun at themselves for something that is actually true.
We would cross the road if there is a safe haven of seclusion on the other side, I won't cross real streets unless there is something worth the anxiety of being out in the open on the other side such as reward or relief ( INFP here)
You go to them, hug their shoulders and lead them forward. If they trust you, they'll follow you, but if they feel like you're pushing them, nothing on earth will make them cross.
As an infp, my sense of humor can range anywhere between lighthearted randomness, and morbid black humor. For instance I might laugh at those videos of people getting hurt, but for different reasons. I'm never laughing at the person, I laugh at how incredibly dark it is.
A few random thoughts: - NFs also seem to really enjoy slapstick, probably because of its childlike quality. - If you listen to him carefully, Steve Martin sounds like he is an SJ, deep down. - Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld seem like NTs, the first I, the second E. - David Letterman as ENTJ? - A lot of SJ humor in real life seems oriented around trash talking and insults. - INTx people like a lot of puns and wordplay. - Charlie Chaplin as a possible NF?
I am an INFP that has done comedy for 4 years now. I really do believe that Louis CK is an INFP because of how much humanity is in his act and I can tell from how he writes his TV show that he is very introverted. I am an INFP and people always think I am extroverted (as they do with most comedians) but my extroversion is all part of my act as I think CK's is as well. It's just something I have picked up that makes it easier to deal with people. Great video I love Myers Briggs and Keirsey!
Why did the INFP cross the road? He didn't. He merely learned to follow the road within. Incidentally, speaking about crossing the road, I was driving down the 405 here in L.A. recently, when a cop stopped me and asked me to show him my vehicle. So after I materialized my car, he said, "Couldn't you do better than a '79 Plymouth Duster?" So I said, "Hey, I don't tell you how to beat up poor innocent Third World people, do I?" So, later on, after coming to in San Quentin, I asked myself, does Bubba the ESTJ really love me, or does he just say that to all the ENFP's?"
You completed the joke! That's a like from me. Also, good episode, nice breakdowns of types of humor. I am also glad you pointed out that everyone laughs and that humor is a central part of human experience. :)
I'm an INFP with an ENTP sense of humor thanks to my stereotypical ENTP brother... Except when everyone is done laughing, I have to make sure I remind everyone I'm just kidding whereas my brother could care less. Big Eddie Izzard fan here!!!
I'm an INFP a little INTP due to society... and found the punching stuff comment really funny. I also love George Carlin and Ricky Gervais. I also love Jim Carrey, Louis CK, and Bill Hicks.
Im an infp I've been told I have a warped sense of humor. I love crude,obnoxious and anything not politically correct.zombieland,bubble boy,Directors joss whedons humor.and anyone who dies in a horror film because they ran upstairs instead of out the front door.oh and celebrity death match and 1000 ways to die are pure comedy
Not sure if something has to be made fun of - I act overly excited when my adult students get answers right - I will be like, "DING DING DING we have a winner, folks! Come on down and get your prize!"
alright I'm a male infp , and I've basically always felt like an outcast, in the way that I know my thought patterns don't go the same way as ,well pretty much anyone I've ever met, however, on the flip side I can get along with anyone .......while still feeling like I'm in the outside looking in , soo I've always been confused by that seeming catch 22 , any thoughts on that
I'm the same. Idealists make people feel uncomfortable, and most people are very suspicious of non-conformists. One on one it seems like they aren't too hung up on fitting into a group. The two things that made me certain I married the wrong person. When she said her goal in life was to "fit in" and have "people like her." And the other was, "I know this bothers you and I don't understand why: but I always just tell you what I think you want to hear." These make INFP's want to puke, but the majority of people are like my ex..
So true!!!! The world does not get me...someone fitting in to conform...wanting people to like them? Now, that's funny!!! I hope I am not laughing at your expense!! I just wanted to let you know we are out here, I may not ever actually meet another one face to face, but it's comforting to know I can find one in the midst of the interwebs :-)
@@fredhubbard7210 I agree that idealists make others feel uncomfortable. All their talk (non idealists) revolves around the status quo. That's very boring for an idealist/ dreamer. I also agree with Brandon. I don't know how I'm going to go about making new friends, but one things for sure, someone would have to be both empathetic and open-minded to allow a friendship to bloom with me. Otherwise, I'm stuck. -31 year old INFP
Sarcasm doesn't make sense to me. I wish that everyone would just say what they meant. My friend, Morgan, and I were playing pickleball together in P.E. and she said "Why don't you try hitting the ball," and I responded "I am trying." She had to tell me that she was being sarcastic.
Omg I thought I was the only one, people will say totally outlandish judgemental things to me and I will be upset or embarrassed only to find later that it was "sarcasm" but I'm an insecure person so I have a hard time not believing sarcastic insults. All my friends think my sarcasm radar is broken.
Hahahaha xD that seems like a funny situation to me... I usually prefer being honest and open about stuff and still like sarcasm and irony a lot XD for me, those two don't really conflict
As an INFP, I can say that my sense of humour usually involves describing my feelings in a very exaggerated type of way, using as many ridiculous metaphors and analogies as possible. Btw, the SP humour is nailed in this video!
As an infp, I've always liked what you called nt comedy. I've always thought that "rationalizations" are just cover for those in authority to justify their emotions.
INFP and my favorite comedians are the ones who take reality and deconstruct it philosophically and satirically usually. I like George Carlin, Bill Burr, Jim Jeffries, Dave Chappelle and a young one, Jerod Charmichael, in standup). I have to be genuinely affected by humor to laugh. I mean I’m really polite, but if someone cracks a joke and is sort of seeking my laughter, my face may have a bewildered look on it. To me, moments of existential confidence and spontaneous inspiration create humor, from lots of random people in random different sort of ways. Sorta like original thought. In the moment, at its best, nothing can replace it.
What's with the shelf??? Trying to focuse on what you are saying but can't. 😂 One point for the INFJ team /still trying to figure out if I am really INFJ, or perhaps INFP/. Btw nice video and teresting topic.
When you were trying to think of an SJ comedian, I thought of Tina Fey in 30 Rock. Like the episode where she realises they key to getting pregnant and bringing romance back into her relationship is indulging in organisation. There's also a hilarious scene where they go into a stationary store to spice up their relationship.
I'm an INFP-A and yes that joke was funny. I say if I go out of my way to make a joke I'm my own worst critic and I amuse myself LOL getting my laughter when I can .
I don't act funny, but I get jokes! (Or like to think that I do most of the time - my silence is usually interpreted as not understanding it, but I am really just wondering how to respond, or what the joke reminds me of) - INFJ
I'm an INFP and I disagree with the statement that humor has to be ugly... but then I typically don't find Steve Martin (or Bill Cosby either, for that matter) to be very funny. In fact, a lot of popular comedians try too hard to be funny and it feels unauthentic (I told you I'm an INFP). Things that make me laugh are when I see someone's honest reaction to something unbelievable or when something has a completely ridiculous meaning. Puns are also very good. Love a good pun. Sarcasm is great, but too much of it and I start to feel too cynical. I don't really care for crass or irreverant jokes, slapstick, stunts-gone-wrong or things where people get seriously hurt (physically or emotionally). My mom showed me a video of a cat and a baby doing something stupid because I love cats and babies and she thought I would like it, but to me it looked painful/unsafe and I was just a little miffed. Humor should be relatively harmless IMO, so naturally I responded to my mom with a video of cats reacting to cucumbers. I would have to be very sure that a prank didn't offend someone for me to feel okay playing it, but if someone wanted to draw a mustache on my face while I was asleep, I would find it funny (as long as I wasn't doing something important like a job interview etc.). I never thought of myself as funny, but I DO like to make people smile and in trying to do so, people have told me I'm really apparently hysterical. I think my jokes are probably self-depreciating because I don't mind pointing out my flaws if I can do so on my terms and use humor as a mask to deflect my insecurities. The odd thing is that my funniest jokes are usually the random ones I don't realize are funny, and the humor is usually in my delivery. I think sometimes when I *try* to make a joke, it goes over some people or my delivery falls flat. But I'm a very dramatic person, so I just overreact to things and people laugh. The other day I took what someone said far too literally, fell to the floor dramatically and did a whole bit about not being able to walk and proceeding to drag myself out of the room pretending to have a pity party. It was a great bit. It wasn't very layered though. I don't think my sense of humor is dark either. I don't get that at ALL.
ifonlyclanax33 I relate so much to this! I'm not really sure about my type, but in general I only like self-deprecating humor, humor about really silly things (like physical clumsiness), puns (they can be bad, just not TOO bad), any other word/language jokes, and humor about overreactions to things where the person is just overreacting for effect). I don't tend to like dark jokes either, because I just don't find them funny. I'd be more likely to laugh at a pun someone accidentally makes while telling the joke lol. I don't think humor has to be hurtful at all; in fact probably the only time I'd laugh at someone's misfortune would be if it was something that had happened to me and it wasn't a big deal.
I have sarcastic unreal dark humor to most people can't get me and I laugh at crazy situations.The most Similar to my humor is probably Monty Pythons I love them! :p :)
LOL, I love George Carlin's "stuff" routine! I think that was the first time I ever heard him. "There's no more room for my stuff, I need a bigger place to put my stuff, now I gotta go buy more stuff!" :-) Interesting about STJ insensitive humor, I've noticed that too, like if I'm watching a show that I like, the STJ might ruin it by poking fun at the way someone talks. And I've noticed the extent of SFJ humor is to occasionally poke fun at themselves.
I am ENFP but have more of what you describe as being ESFP. I love to call people funny names or act like my classroom is a game show. I also like to make funny jokes about stereotypes (but maybe that ENFP) I also talk about foibles of people, it's more myself. I will tell a stories about something that happened and make is super dramatic and funny to the point that you forget the seriousness like the other day I was dramatically telling about how I got hit by a car to the point that people forgot for a second that I just said I was hit by a car.
i think i'm an infp. i love that kind of "robot chicken" comedy that's just really silly and makes no sense at all. like my friend says he doesn't get it sometimes because he doesn't always understand what's going on, and i'm like that's the point. there really is no reason behind some of these jokes except it's unique and so far removed from reality and reason that it cracks me up.
Robot Chicken is not infp at all. maybe for a really immature infp but i would say it's istp. infp humor is more like bill burr, louis ck, bo burnham. really exploring the depth of emotions.
I am an INFP and I love sarkasm, more layered jokes like there is a hidden meaning behind it. Or I like pretending smth, sometimes I'm playing like a child. I can be 'cynical' about things, I enjoy these unconventional comments, however Iam cynical on the surface, I don't mean it seriously. I like when things are in contrast. Maybe we are not the best 'stand up comedians' but we can be extremely funny in everyday life. INFP forever!
That joke was funny lol!!! Louis CK? Bill Cosby? Oh...the irony... you should check out Ricky Gervais, he has two specials on RUclips and def one of my favs, he is hysterical!! The stuff - George Carlin...I totally remember that bit, we are accumulating stuff, once we have the stuff, we need to move the stuff, it doesn't go here, my wife told me to move it, so I moved my stuff to make room for her stuff...ah, I don't do it justice...guess you had to be there. Funny, insightful, and enjoyable, cheers :-)
I'm an INFP and I'd say that my humor is usually all about exaggerating things or being ridiculous - only if I think the other person would laugh though (the harmony thing). It really depends on the circumstances. Usually I'm kind of quiet I guess, but in the right situation I usually think of something funny to say.
I really enjoyed this, haha! Soo true. I have a funny yet clinical NF joke for all my NF's and possibly types who find our quest for perfect romance rediculous. It's kinda a monologue I am a ENFP btw with TJ , j14% so a tiny little judgment possibly 40%t learned over many years in 3rd dimension lol. Music and romance "Sometimes I feel like my love life is a meatloaf song" said the ENFP to the other NFs lol.....🙊🙈 the other NFs are rolling on the ground to the thought of this haha...ENFPs definitely the corny meatloaf heartbreakers of the NFs....if only I could find the perfect INFJ to complete the rest of the conversations on metaphysics, life and half written recipes / poems 😂😂😭
I am an INFP. I have been doing community theatre since 1980, excelling in comedic roles. I had a humor column on my college newspaper that ran for three years. I have a youtube channel where I make sketches with my puppet - channel/UCgTLHolWlJOhNW2Auc40xNg/videos. I have been told my humor is British. I am not sure what that means, except that I write sketches and routines, not one liners.
He's an ENFP. I love his work too, but then again, he has a right to be, and he is claiming back basically prejudices which he has came to be exposed to when he was growing up. But Dr Mike here... has not... Plus, even Russell Peters are very careful in what he says. In an interview in India, he was indeed quite cautious.... He basically tell the same mean thing, in a funny way, and push this back to the other person, so that the others are also laughing at the awkardness or the audacity of what had happened.
I met George Carlin, very nice but strong gentleman. I suspect: "INTJ" but borderline P, borderline E. George Carlin was nice enough to people, but he was very task oriented and focused like an I. He also very much was into closure and summation and getting his job done, like a J not a P. He didn't ramble or improv absently -- like possibly Richard Pryor could do, probably an ENFP -- borderline INTJ. I think many comics are borderline Introvert/Extrovert and other categories. They like and/or at times hate people well enough but are very word and task oriented, and thinking as well as feeling. Being both I and E or T and F is not easy, and maybe comedy is a way to bridge the two and thus relax. SJ would be the down to earth professional Borscht Belt "broads and babes" type workmanly comic, like Jackie Mason (a little more N maybe than S), Jackie Leonard, Alan King, George Burns. SP would be having a fun time comics as you say, like Red Buttons, Bert Lahr, Phyllis Diller, Sarah Silverman. I am an ENFP comic who does a swami act, working the audience with comic psychic readings, like one of my absolute favorites whom I saw recently, Jimmy Brogan -- arguably the best crowd-worker in the business -- deep and meaningful (N) but also good at commonplaces (S). Louis C.K. is probably an ENFP, as you suggest -- borderline EST/FP, in that he talks about commonplaces more than philosophy. Since most audience members are S, a comic generally has to address the S or he will be forgotten or marginalized like Mort Sahl, probably a rare type for a comedian, an ENTP borderline J, or Lenny Bruce an ENFP who could also play at S. Thus comics need to deal with the universal commonplaces or they will only reach a minority of the audience. And a successful comic (or anything) will tend to be a J because they can commercialize their talents, while a P may even be funnier, but more your funny friend than a professional entertainer. Anyway, food for thought. GREAT VIDEO -- THANK YOU, DR. MIKE! (And by the way are you an INTP borderline -- or going to -- ENFP?)
My niece is an ISFJ and she's hilarious but she's withdrawn and shows few people. She will suddenly do an impression of her Italian great grandfather or say something she knows is silly with a straight face. She's 7.
As an INFP, on the rare occassions I laugh at all, it's generally by finding a way to get my friends to laugh at my latest misfortune. I'm very jealous of funny people!
as an INFP I like more grim comedy like Louis CK and I simply love NT humour -- sarcastic but telling. I'll also laugh hilariously at slapstick humour (Impractical Jokers) and other ppl being put down but I'm secretly rooting for them. I really dont understand mean humour like prank shows. Like yeah it's funny, but I know I'd hate to be the recipient. I love Scrubs & Brooklyn nine-nine. I love the Office. I love Parks & Rec. I even love the Chandler moments in Friends. I'm not very funny myself. Sometimes I can make dry or sarcastic comments but I'm not very good at sarcasm and I simply hate being on the receiving end. PS Louis CK has to be an INFP!
Carol Burnett is an ESFJ. That seems very obvious to me with her family connection playing with traditions and her interaction with the audience along with her leadership. I think there are plenty of Fe-dom comedians especially ESFJs.
I can't stand America's Funniest Videos. Watching people falling and getting hit by golf balls, or little kids upset and crying while their loved ones laugh at them is sick and disturbing. But pretend slapstick is hilarious!
Louis CK is Entp. He is extremely critical and can have those very cynical rants. Just listen to him on Opie and Anthony. While a lot of his humor concerns how stupid humanity is, the concern about social etiquette comes from Fe. He has become softer in recent years, but there's no doubt that he is very Ti - oriented. He is also extremely interested in technology, he's a computer expert and camera fanatic.
I now understand why I'm addicted to Louis CK! -infj I actually find that the INFJ sense of humor is quite dark and morbid. Does this resonate with you as an extroverted NF?
INFP here psycho analysis diagnosed lol. I find Classic Seinfeld , Steven Wright, Lewis Black, George Carlin, Wanda Sykes , Ellen DeGeneres, and Carol Burnette's old show funny. So it would be very difficult to pigeonhole what's funny to types.
Is it funny? Um... keep your day job, okay? Comedy goes much deeper than type. Jung said all laughter comes from the Shadow or touches it. Type just filters it a bit coming and going. No surprise Steve Martin said comedy isn't pretty. Did you get that "keep your day job" was a joke and not an insult? Hope it made you smile.
i don't agree. no one is as irrational as Entps. his comedy is based on logical absurdities. he is in fact a huge fan of carlin. he completely lacks the emotional grace that enfps have. at least i've never met an enfp like him. russel brand is a better example of an enfp comedian in my opinion.
I was looking to hear something about isfp but that type is hardly present in this channel judging by the topics. You aught to add.some content on hem, I would make the channel more complete
Why did the INFP cross the road? To avoid all the ESTJ's..it was calmer on the other side with the chicken! hehe
Erin L idk why but that cracked me up 😂
Me, an INFP running from my ESTJ mom
Lol, My best friend of 8 years is actually an ESTJ or an ENTJ, not sure. We practically grew up together so it's funny to see how different we turned out to be. They're amazing. They can be harsh and sometimes they make me cry but I love them cause I know they love me too and also mean the best. They help me out in the best way they can (except when I'm too emotional ofc, but these days they seem to try their best there too) and also push me to make my own decisions. They're also really confident, assertive, hardworking, and funny 😆 They're an excellent leader! And I find that truly admirable. Loyalty and friends seem to mean a lot to them- maybe not as much as their work and 'What's really important' as they would put it. But they do care, they do love and it's quite obvious, even if it's not. They don't usually outwardly say that they do, but I know what they mean^^ most of the time 😅 Honestly, they're the only person that I truly feel that understands me besides my mum
Oh and for clarification- I'm an INFP 4w5 and she's an ENTJ/ESTJ (still not sure)
Also here's a recent online conversation my friend group had (I'll refer to us by our MBTI)
INFP: I just want snacks! I want SNACKS! AAAAH
INTP: person below shall not have snacks
ENTJ/ESTJ: (replies cause they didn't see the text)
INFP: ENTJ/ESTJ you shall not have snacks
ENTJ/ESTJ: NO
ENTJ/ESTJ: replying to INTP: no you
INTP: replying to INFP: neither can you
ENTJ/ESTJ: NEITHER CAN YOU
INTP: fxck it, no one here gets snacks
INFP: YEAH
INTP: *burns all the snacks*
INFP: This is how I imagine our trip to the pier will be like
ENTJ/ESTJ: nah man it cant be like this
INFP: If we end up burning the pier, ENTJ/ESTJ's paying
ENTJ/ESTJ: because im the only one with a stable career
INFP: LMAO True 💀
I'm a infp and honestly have a very sick and dark sense of humor .. I laugh at horrible things!! haha
Same.
Jacob Billings same 😂😂
I'm a infp husband probably is too, maybe infj. We tend to see the dark humor when most don't.
Same
Jacob Billings we should date
Thank you for answering my question! I agree that NF humor is very much about people's inner worlds. My favourite jokes are when people discuss their insecurities or failings in a really funny way, or poke fun at themselves for something that is actually true.
Joke … “If everyone jumped off the brig would you?” My ISTJ friend’s response-“Probably there would be plenty of bodies to break my fall.”
You mean the Myers-"brig"? ;)
I was wondering how one convinces a cautious INFP to cross the road in the first place
We would cross the road if there is a safe haven of seclusion on the other side, I won't cross real streets unless there is something worth the anxiety of being out in the open on the other side such as reward or relief ( INFP here)
If a good friend or opportunity for a chance for an important relational opportunity is on the other side of the road, an INFP will definitely cross.
lalakuma9 Put SJ parents on the same side of the road. That's what motivated this INFP to try hitchhiking.
You go to them, hug their shoulders and lead them forward. If they trust you, they'll follow you, but if they feel like you're pushing them, nothing on earth will make them cross.
Plot twist the INFP was returning from crossing it earlier.
lol
As an infp, my sense of humor can range anywhere between lighthearted randomness, and morbid black humor. For instance I might laugh at those videos of people getting hurt, but for different reasons. I'm never laughing at the person, I laugh at how incredibly dark it is.
Exactly the same here
As an INFP the funniest humor to me is South Park and the Office. Anyone agree?
THE OFFICE!!!!!!!! South park too!!
woohoo!!
I love portlandia, too!
I'll admit, Rick and Morty has saved me a few times. I really feel for that show. I also love Seinfeld and The Golden Girls.
I used to love Bottom (Rik Mayal & Aidrian Edmondson. THier slapstick style of comedy alway had me in stitches)
I agree with your analysis of NF humor. I laugh at anything to do with the human condition! Its the best sort of humor because it really IS layered.
A few random thoughts:
- NFs also seem to really enjoy slapstick, probably because of its childlike quality.
- If you listen to him carefully, Steve Martin sounds like he is an SJ, deep down.
- Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld seem like NTs, the first I, the second E.
- David Letterman as ENTJ?
- A lot of SJ humor in real life seems oriented around trash talking and insults.
- INTx people like a lot of puns and wordplay.
- Charlie Chaplin as a possible NF?
I think you've hit the nail on the head. :)

LMAO!!!
I totaly agree. Your joke at the end is pure genius, INFP here. ;)
There's this viral video of a little boy hugging his chicken. I'm an INFP. I've never been so jealous to own a chicken.
You completed the joke! That's a like from me. Also, good episode, nice breakdowns of types of humor. I am also glad you pointed out that everyone laughs and that humor is a central part of human experience. :)
First time I sat down and watched this one...excellent video! ^.^
I'm an INFP with an ENTP sense of humor thanks to my stereotypical ENTP brother... Except when everyone is done laughing, I have to make sure I remind everyone I'm just kidding whereas my brother could care less.
Big Eddie Izzard fan here!!!
Izzard is the new comedy king.
Big relate, lol.
I'm an INFP a little INTP due to society... and found the punching stuff comment really funny. I also love George Carlin and Ricky Gervais. I also love Jim Carrey, Louis CK, and Bill Hicks.
Ileia Hall All my favourite comedians right there!!
Im infp too I like bill burr, george carlin, dave chappelle, and comedy like south park.
I love Louis CK & Dave Chappelle. I enjoy Ricky Gervais. Jimmy Carr is alright but also cringeworthy
Oh, and the joke at the end was good. I definitely would have crossed to make sure the chicken wasn't lonely... either that or I saw a pretty flower.
I am an INFP, and I have pet chickens!
Im an infp I've been told I have a warped sense of humor. I love crude,obnoxious and anything not politically correct.zombieland,bubble boy,Directors joss whedons humor.and anyone who dies in a horror film because they ran upstairs instead of out the front door.oh and celebrity death match and 1000 ways to die are pure comedy
NF - Relatable Humor & Memes (for sure) !!!
Not sure if something has to be made fun of - I act overly excited when my adult students get answers right - I will be like, "DING DING DING we have a winner, folks! Come on down and get your prize!"
My husband is an ISTJ, you are 100 percent spot on
HAHAHAAA!!!!! the joke at the end, superb.
What do you think Eddie Izzard is? He’s my favorite. I’m an isfp.
alright I'm a male infp , and I've basically always felt like an outcast, in the way that I know my thought patterns don't go the same way as ,well pretty much anyone I've ever met, however, on the flip side I can get along with anyone .......while still feeling like I'm in the outside looking in , soo I've always been confused by that seeming catch 22 , any thoughts on that
I'm the same. Idealists make people feel uncomfortable, and most people are very suspicious of non-conformists. One on one it seems like they aren't too hung up on fitting into a group.
The two things that made me certain I married the wrong person. When she said her goal in life was to "fit in" and have "people like her." And the other was, "I know this bothers you and I don't understand why: but I always just tell you what I think you want to hear."
These make INFP's want to puke, but the majority of people are like my ex..
So true!!!! The world does not get me...someone fitting in to conform...wanting people to like them? Now, that's funny!!! I hope I am not laughing at your expense!! I just wanted to let you know we are out here, I may not ever actually meet another one face to face, but it's comforting to know I can find one in the midst of the interwebs :-)
@@fredhubbard7210 I agree that idealists make others feel uncomfortable. All their talk (non idealists) revolves around the status quo. That's very boring for an idealist/ dreamer. I also agree with Brandon. I don't know how I'm going to go about making new friends, but one things for sure, someone would have to be both empathetic and open-minded to allow a friendship to bloom with me. Otherwise, I'm stuck.
-31 year old INFP
I want o get in to the discussion group.
Sarcasm doesn't make sense to me. I wish that everyone would just say what they meant. My friend, Morgan, and I were playing pickleball together in P.E. and she said "Why don't you try hitting the ball," and I responded "I am trying." She had to tell me that she was being sarcastic.
Omg I thought I was the only one, people will say totally outlandish judgemental things to me and I will be upset or embarrassed only to find later that it was "sarcasm" but I'm an insecure person so I have a hard time not believing sarcastic insults. All my friends think my sarcasm radar is broken.
I dont like sarcasm either. Its boring.
This thread is hilarious. I wish people weren't so literal. It is so boring.
Hahahaha xD that seems like a funny situation to me... I usually prefer being honest and open about stuff and still like sarcasm and irony a lot XD for me, those two don't really conflict
As an INFP, I can say that my sense of humour usually involves describing my feelings in a very exaggerated type of way, using as many ridiculous metaphors and analogies as possible.
Btw, the SP humour is nailed in this video!
INFP here, my favourite comedians are Bo Burnham, Sammy J etc
Any thoughts?
As an INFP I can honestly say that my feelings were not hurt by this video and that the last joke made me chuckle.
What about Dylan Moran? Enfp?
As an infp, I've always liked what you called nt comedy. I've always thought that "rationalizations" are just cover for those in authority to justify their emotions.
Bo Burnham is also an hilarious NT comedian and musician, his song "Oh Bo" and his show "what." are gold.
so how would you explain Infp humour :) ? being one, I'm curious . hehe the joke was not so much funny but very true of me I felt ^_^
INFP and my favorite comedians are the ones who take reality and deconstruct it philosophically and satirically usually. I like George Carlin, Bill Burr, Jim Jeffries, Dave Chappelle and a young one, Jerod Charmichael, in standup). I have to be genuinely affected by humor to laugh. I mean I’m really polite, but if someone cracks a joke and is sort of seeking my laughter, my face may have a bewildered look on it. To me, moments of existential confidence and spontaneous inspiration create humor, from lots of random people in random different sort of ways. Sorta like original thought. In the moment, at its best, nothing can replace it.
What's with the shelf??? Trying to focuse on what you are saying but can't. 😂 One point for the INFJ team /still trying to figure out if I am really INFJ, or perhaps INFP/. Btw nice video and teresting topic.
Great video!
I'm an ISTJ with an ENFP BFF & we laugh at the same things all the time.
Is that good or bad?
Yeah I definitely agree with this lol. Dark humor is also very funny to me.
When you were trying to think of an SJ comedian, I thought of Tina Fey in 30 Rock. Like the episode where she realises they key to getting pregnant and bringing romance back into her relationship is indulging in organisation. There's also a hilarious scene where they go into a stationary store to spice up their relationship.
I'm an INFP-A and yes that joke was funny. I say if I go out of my way to make a joke I'm my own worst critic and I amuse myself LOL getting my laughter when I can .
Is this video spoused to be about INFP?
I don't act funny, but I get jokes! (Or like to think that I do most of the time - my silence is usually interpreted as not understanding it, but I am really just wondering how to respond, or what the joke reminds me of) - INFJ
I'm an INFP and I disagree with the statement that humor has to be ugly... but then I typically don't find Steve Martin (or Bill Cosby either, for that matter) to be very funny. In fact, a lot of popular comedians try too hard to be funny and it feels unauthentic (I told you I'm an INFP). Things that make me laugh are when I see someone's honest reaction to something unbelievable or when something has a completely ridiculous meaning. Puns are also very good. Love a good pun. Sarcasm is great, but too much of it and I start to feel too cynical. I don't really care for crass or irreverant jokes, slapstick, stunts-gone-wrong or things where people get seriously hurt (physically or emotionally). My mom showed me a video of a cat and a baby doing something stupid because I love cats and babies and she thought I would like it, but to me it looked painful/unsafe and I was just a little miffed. Humor should be relatively harmless IMO, so naturally I responded to my mom with a video of cats reacting to cucumbers. I would have to be very sure that a prank didn't offend someone for me to feel okay playing it, but if someone wanted to draw a mustache on my face while I was asleep, I would find it funny (as long as I wasn't doing something important like a job interview etc.). I never thought of myself as funny, but I DO like to make people smile and in trying to do so, people have told me I'm really apparently hysterical. I think my jokes are probably self-depreciating because I don't mind pointing out my flaws if I can do so on my terms and use humor as a mask to deflect my insecurities. The odd thing is that my funniest jokes are usually the random ones I don't realize are funny, and the humor is usually in my delivery. I think sometimes when I *try* to make a joke, it goes over some people or my delivery falls flat. But I'm a very dramatic person, so I just overreact to things and people laugh. The other day I took what someone said far too literally, fell to the floor dramatically and did a whole bit about not being able to walk and proceeding to drag myself out of the room pretending to have a pity party. It was a great bit. It wasn't very layered though. I don't think my sense of humor is dark either. I don't get that at ALL.
ifonlyclanax33 I relate so much to this! I'm not really sure about my type, but in general I only like self-deprecating humor, humor about really silly things (like physical clumsiness), puns (they can be bad, just not TOO bad), any other word/language jokes, and humor about overreactions to things where the person is just overreacting for effect). I don't tend to like dark jokes either, because I just don't find them funny. I'd be more likely to laugh at a pun someone accidentally makes while telling the joke lol. I don't think humor has to be hurtful at all; in fact probably the only time I'd laugh at someone's misfortune would be if it was something that had happened to me and it wasn't a big deal.
I have sarcastic unreal dark humor to most people can't get me and I laugh at crazy situations.The most Similar to my humor is probably Monty Pythons I love them! :p :)
LOL, I love George Carlin's "stuff" routine! I think that was the first time I ever heard him. "There's no more room for my stuff, I need a bigger place to put my stuff, now I gotta go buy more stuff!" :-)
Interesting about STJ insensitive humor, I've noticed that too, like if I'm watching a show that I like, the STJ might ruin it by poking fun at the way someone talks. And I've noticed the extent of SFJ humor is to occasionally poke fun at themselves.
I am ENFP but have more of what you describe as being ESFP. I love to call people funny names or act like my classroom is a game show. I also like to make funny jokes about stereotypes (but maybe that ENFP) I also talk about foibles of people, it's more myself. I will tell a stories about something that happened and make is super dramatic and funny to the point that you forget the seriousness like the other day I was dramatically telling about how I got hit by a car to the point that people forgot for a second that I just said I was hit by a car.
i think i'm an infp. i love that kind of "robot chicken" comedy that's just really silly and makes no sense at all. like my friend says he doesn't get it sometimes because he doesn't always understand what's going on, and i'm like that's the point. there really is no reason behind some of these jokes except it's unique and so far removed from reality and reason that it cracks me up.
Robot Chicken is not infp at all. maybe for a really immature infp but i would say it's istp. infp humor is more like bill burr, louis ck, bo burnham. really exploring the depth of emotions.
This should be fascinating.
I am an INFP and I love sarkasm, more layered jokes like there is a hidden meaning behind it. Or I like pretending smth, sometimes I'm playing like a child. I can be 'cynical' about things, I enjoy these unconventional comments, however Iam cynical on the surface, I don't mean it seriously. I like when things are in contrast. Maybe we are not the best 'stand up comedians' but we can be extremely funny in everyday life. INFP forever!
I'm INFP and yes, i'm very passionate about poultry harmony. Strong values here.
That joke was funny lol!!! Louis CK? Bill Cosby? Oh...the irony... you should check out Ricky Gervais, he has two specials on RUclips and def one of my favs, he is hysterical!! The stuff - George Carlin...I totally remember that bit, we are accumulating stuff, once we have the stuff, we need to move the stuff, it doesn't go here, my wife told me to move it, so I moved my stuff to make room for her stuff...ah, I don't do it justice...guess you had to be there. Funny, insightful, and enjoyable, cheers :-)
I'm an INFP and I'd say that my humor is usually all about exaggerating things or being ridiculous - only if I think the other person would laugh though (the harmony thing). It really depends on the circumstances. Usually I'm kind of quiet I guess, but in the right situation I usually think of something funny to say.
To cry over and pickup the chicken roadkill. To help the chicken cross the road.
I really enjoyed this, haha! Soo true. I have a funny yet clinical NF joke for all my NF's and possibly types who find our quest for perfect romance rediculous. It's kinda a monologue I am a ENFP btw with TJ , j14% so a tiny little judgment possibly 40%t learned over many years in 3rd dimension lol.
Music and romance
"Sometimes I feel like my love life is a meatloaf song" said the ENFP to the other NFs lol.....🙊🙈 the other NFs are rolling on the ground to the thought of this haha...ENFPs definitely the corny meatloaf heartbreakers of the NFs....if only I could find the perfect INFJ to complete the rest of the conversations on metaphysics, life and half written recipes / poems 😂😂😭
As an ENTP, I completely agree with this
What happened to him ?
Nothing. I'm still alive.
@@nfgeeks :) I miss you …
Infp here. Arrested development and memes does it for me
What about Dave Chappelle, I'm an INFP and I reckon he is one too, what do you guys think?
I think he's an ENFP.
we've got Louis CK and Aubry Plaza though
How come all I can think about is MBTI, its like a huge addiction, and seemingly a waste of time.
gatorkea unless you use the knowledge you gain about yourself
I am an INFP. I have been doing community theatre since 1980, excelling in comedic roles. I had a humor column on my college newspaper that ran for three years. I have a youtube channel where I make sketches with my puppet - channel/UCgTLHolWlJOhNW2Auc40xNg/videos. I have been told my humor is British. I am not sure what that means, except that I write sketches and routines, not one liners.
Have you ever watched Russell Peters? He's my favorite comedian. Would you be able to type him?
He's an ENFP.
I love his work too, but then again, he has a right to be, and he is claiming back basically prejudices which he has came to be exposed to when he was growing up. But Dr Mike here... has not...
Plus, even Russell Peters are very careful in what he says. In an interview in India, he was indeed quite cautious.... He basically tell the same mean thing, in a funny way, and push this back to the other person, so that the others are also laughing at the awkardness or the audacity of what had happened.
I met George Carlin, very nice but strong gentleman. I suspect: "INTJ" but borderline P, borderline E. George Carlin was nice enough to people, but he was very task oriented and focused like an I. He also very much was into closure and summation and getting his job done, like a J not a P. He didn't ramble or improv absently -- like possibly Richard Pryor could do, probably an ENFP -- borderline INTJ. I think many comics are borderline Introvert/Extrovert and other categories. They like and/or at times hate people well enough but are very word and task oriented, and thinking as well as feeling. Being both I and E or T and F is not easy, and maybe comedy is a way to bridge the two and thus relax. SJ would be the down to earth professional Borscht Belt "broads and babes" type workmanly comic, like Jackie Mason (a little more N maybe than S), Jackie Leonard, Alan King, George Burns. SP would be having a fun time comics as you say, like Red Buttons, Bert Lahr, Phyllis Diller, Sarah Silverman. I am an ENFP comic who does a swami act, working the audience with comic psychic readings, like one of my absolute favorites whom I saw recently, Jimmy Brogan -- arguably the best crowd-worker in the business -- deep and meaningful (N) but also good at commonplaces (S). Louis C.K. is probably an ENFP, as you suggest -- borderline EST/FP, in that he talks about commonplaces more than philosophy. Since most audience members are S, a comic generally has to address the S or he will be forgotten or marginalized like Mort Sahl, probably a rare type for a comedian, an ENTP borderline J, or Lenny Bruce an ENFP who could also play at S. Thus comics need to deal with the universal commonplaces or they will only reach a minority of the audience. And a successful comic (or anything) will tend to be a J because they can commercialize their talents, while a P may even be funnier, but more your funny friend than a professional entertainer. Anyway, food for thought. GREAT VIDEO -- THANK YOU, DR. MIKE! (And by the way are you an INTP borderline -- or going to -- ENFP?)
Perfect example of INTJ humour = Norm MacDonald.
I thought the same thing about louis CK's riffing on phones. ENFP makes sense for him!
My niece is an ISFJ and she's hilarious but she's withdrawn and shows few people. She will suddenly do an impression of her Italian great grandfather or say something she knows is silly with a straight face. She's 7.
As an INFP, on the rare occassions I laugh at all, it's generally by finding a way to get my friends to laugh at my latest misfortune. I'm very jealous of funny people!
as an INFP I like more grim comedy like Louis CK and I simply love NT humour -- sarcastic but telling. I'll also laugh hilariously at slapstick humour (Impractical Jokers) and other ppl being put down but I'm secretly rooting for them. I really dont understand mean humour like prank shows. Like yeah it's funny, but I know I'd hate to be the recipient. I love Scrubs & Brooklyn nine-nine. I love the Office. I love Parks & Rec. I even love the Chandler moments in Friends.
I'm not very funny myself. Sometimes I can make dry or sarcastic comments but I'm not very good at sarcasm and I simply hate being on the receiving end.
PS Louis CK has to be an INFP!
I accidentally had my speed on 2x the first time I watched this...
:I
lol this is cool
Bill Cosby - D'oh!
Carol Burnett is an ESFJ. That seems very obvious to me with her family connection playing with traditions and her interaction with the audience along with her leadership. I think there are plenty of Fe-dom comedians especially ESFJs.
I can't stand America's Funniest Videos. Watching people falling and getting hit by golf balls, or little kids upset and crying while their loved ones laugh at them is sick and disturbing. But pretend slapstick is hilarious!
The ending XD
Louis CK is Entp. He is extremely critical and can have those very cynical rants. Just listen to him on Opie and Anthony. While a lot of his humor concerns how stupid humanity is, the concern about social etiquette comes from Fe. He has become softer in recent years, but there's no doubt that he is very Ti - oriented. He is also extremely interested in technology, he's a computer expert and camera fanatic.
But I also relate a lot to NT humor, as I thought I was an INTP myself for a long time. :)
I now understand why I'm addicted to Louis CK! -infj
I actually find that the INFJ sense of humor is quite dark and morbid. Does this resonate with you as an extroverted NF?
You're heading for a timeout, mister.
INFP here psycho analysis diagnosed lol. I find Classic Seinfeld , Steven Wright, Lewis Black, George Carlin, Wanda Sykes , Ellen DeGeneres, and Carol Burnette's old show funny. So it would be very difficult to pigeonhole what's funny to types.
I'm an INFP and my favorite show is Mama's Family!!
Can't stand George Carlin or obscene humor!
I think great humor is memetic and inflammatory.
to cry on the other side
And that is why I hate celebrity types.
Is it funny? Um... keep your day job, okay?
Comedy goes much deeper than type. Jung said all laughter comes from the Shadow or touches it. Type just filters it a bit coming and going. No surprise Steve Martin said comedy isn't pretty.
Did you get that "keep your day job" was a joke and not an insult? Hope it made you smile.
+longlakeshore You must be an INFP because that was particularly unfunny.
+NFGeeks with Dr. Mike! Now THAT was funny.
I agree. I mean some people find dead baby jokes funny but as an F - I could NEVER find dead baby jokes funny.
Is it because the baby was already buried?
Does that include fictional story/show about a dead baby?
I'm an INFP and I have a really dark sense of humor.
Cigarette meditation will help you with everything👍
I also really like louis ck, except for when he rants about his kids.
He's not. Watch his TV show. He's definitely a feeler.
I agree with albert aaberg. I do too think Louis CK is an ENTP. But who knows... I think that Conan is also an ENTP.
I think Jonathan Swift was probably an NT
SJ comedians: Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David.
i don't agree. no one is as irrational as Entps. his comedy is based on logical absurdities. he is in fact a huge fan of carlin. he completely lacks the emotional grace that enfps have. at least i've never met an enfp like him. russel brand is a better example of an enfp comedian in my opinion.
I love Bill Cosby! :D
many have, some not voluntarily ;)
Poultry harmony? I don't get it.
Nor do I

I do.
JackhammerJesus Well, explain then
hes an ENFJ
INFJ this freaking hilarious to me --> Arj Barker Sickest Buddhist song/video
I was looking to hear something about isfp but that type is hardly present in this channel judging by the topics. You aught to add.some content on hem, I would make the channel more complete
