from here:

the Prankster
(47% dark, 38% spontaneous, 21% vulgar)
your humor style:
CLEAN | COMPLEX | LIGHT

Your humor has an intellectual, even conceptual slant to it. You're not pretentious, but you're not into what some would call 'low humor' either. You'll laugh at a good dirty joke, but you definitely prefer something clever to something moist.

You probably like well-thought-out pranks and/or spoofs and it's highly likely you've tried one of these things yourself. In a lot of ways, yours is the most entertaining type of humor because it's smart without being mean-spirited.

the Wit
(61% dark, 23% spontaneous, 15% vulgar)
CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK

You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.

I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.

Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion.

You probably loved the Office. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/.

the Provacateur
(76% dark, 26% spontaneous, 47% vulgar)
your humor style:
VULGAR | COMPLEX | DARK

You'll crack on anything, and you're often witty, even caustic, about it.

Therefore, your sense of humor is polarizing. You're transgressive, and you've got a seriously sharp 'edge'--maybe too much for some folks. If they get you, people think you're one of the funniest (and smartest) people in the world. If they don't, they think you're an ass. Whatever, right? While some might question your judgement, your comic intellect is unquestionably respected.

Sweet. This test actually explains a lot.

the Cutting Edge
(66% dark, 50% spontaneous, 36% vulgar)
your humor style:
CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | DARK

Your humor's mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there's something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren't themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top.

Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing.

How you compared to other people your age and gender:


You scored higher than 93% on darkness

You scored higher than 18% on spontaneity

You scored higher than 24% on vulgarity
Do you want forgiveness or respect?

the Ham
(42% dark, 53% spontaneous, 31% vulgar)
your humor style:
CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | LIGHT

Your style's goofy, innocent and feel-good. Perfect for parties and for the dads who chaperone them. You can actually get away with corny jokes, and I bet your sense of humor is a guilty pleasure for your friends. People of your type are often the most approachable and popular people in their circle. Your simple & silly good-naturedness is immediately recognizable, and it sets you apart in this sarcastic world.

A good theory, except it doesn't tell what the potential results are until the quiz is over.

I wasn't surprised by so many people being "the wit" since there seems to be a strong correlation between "wits" and "people who hang out on computer-oriented online forums".

Hmm, well to me the questions were pretty obvious as to which result they would get you.
But maybe that's just me.

I'm the Prankster, apparently, which is pretty much right.

But... 28% dark, 26% spontaneous, 10% vulgar. Only 28% dark?! Something's wrong there... probably because I hadn't seen any of the movies involved, so I kind of guessed randomly on that page.

No, Cubeoid, The Stupid Brigade consists of a portion of the MacNN membership, as coined by Tooki. As far as I know, Dr. Rice is not a member here, although she may lurk from time to time.

Nor is she married, although you can see in the picture in my sig that Mr. Met was quite taken by her! (Don't tell Mrs. Met)
