To have a sense of humor is to be able to recognize someone or something as funny. Some occurrences are intentional funny (such as comedy) while others are only humorous because of the way we interpret them. Some of this seems to be innate (genetic) while some seems to be learned (babies smile and laugh spontaneously and then associate it with something happening).

What does it mean when you don't think comedies or TV shows or comedians are funny but you think random things are funny?

Random things are amusing because they are random and unexpected.Sitcoms are at times funny, and at times a tad unrealistic and the thought of getting away with saying/doing something, like on the sitcoms is funny because it is an element of shock and is random..yet at times it is predictable and stupid.Where as genuine people doing/saying random,unscripted things is hilarious.good humor,a good laugh...I love it..It probably means that you have a genuine sense of humor. You would probably find old comedy movies(black&white) funny.Another AnswerComedy is a difficult area for an entertainer to be in. They are few and far between. I don't see too many TV programs where I can say I got many laughs and I have a good sense of humor. Just because it's a TV Comedy show doesn't mean it's funny and often they have 'canned' laughing (meaning it's not real and dubbed in. There may be some areas in the TV program that give you a laugh, but not often. Another AnswerIt could actually mean several things, but from the Paranoid point of view, if all, not most but all of conventional humor is unfunny to you, and random events that are not considered funny by others are funny to you, this might be a psychological warning sign that should be discussed with a professional psychologist. A good test would be to try and see if a group of friends finds what you think is a funny random thing as funny, and if not, trying to explain to them why it is funny. If a couple of them gets your point of view, you are probably fine. If they all look at you like you just said a horrible thing, something might be wrong. Random OpinionsIt is just the way you are, and eventually, people will think you are funny.You don't get the jokes?Well, if you just start laughing, you could be psychoticIt means you don't find comedies, T.V. shows or comedians to be very funny but you find random events to be funny.It simply means that you have your own brand of humor, nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. A lot of the TV shows and comedies aren't funny. Some of us don't equate stupid with funny, we don't buy into the whole, "So stupid it's funny," mentality.
