Gen X humor

Dark absurd humor that often leads to more psychological pain. Lots of action and terror. Perfect for the generation that gave us slackers, punks and heavy metal.

Eg. think of 80's and 90's movies like Die Hard, The Client, Predator, Alien, Dead Poet's society and more. Gen X definitely have a dark humor.

This is the case for Xennials even, eg. Don't hug me i'm scared, Final Destination, and more all got popular with them.
A good example of Gen X humor is Dead Poet's Society. Peak.

stairway humor

An ideal humorous retort that wasn’t said in the moment but has been devised after departure(up or down the stairs).
Have you had COVID?

No, but I was really sick before we knew about COVID.

Stairway humor(meaning after one has left the conversation and is rethinking a more humorous response): Hipster me- I think I had it when it no one knew about it. It was obscure then.

Clearly, anyone knows what this feels like and can produce an example. P.S. I heard about this once 2-4 years ago.

Troll humor

Something (joke, story, movie-scene) an individual does not find funny until they meet someone who is offended by it.

Then they find it hilarious (either from the nervousness, ridiculousness, obscenity, or the person is in-fact a troll)
Bob: So I heard this really lame joke the other day (insert joke)
Chad: … that's not funny (insert personal story)
Bob: … BAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Well I guess this friendship is over?
Chad: Nah, it's alright I understand troll humor just like when (inserts joke about Bob's life)
Both: (Laugh and continue being friends)

Cow Humor

An elusive form of humor revolving around cows. If you read my name, (Based Cow) you'll know that I have cow humor. The reason why it's funny is because it's super random, and random == funny. But it isn't TOO random.
Person 1: 2 cows walk into a bar. The cow says to the other cow, MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, and proceeds to dance.
Person 2: Do you have the elusive Cow Humor?

Humor Twin

When you meet someone who has the same twisted sense of humor that other people don't understand and get offended by it.

Personal Humor

Personal humor It is nothing more than an INTERNAL JOKE or joke that only you understand and find funny, that is, it only makes sense in your head, it can also apply to a theme that is not known by all or by the vast majority Ex: Regional slangs, language vices, subjects that only people of a particular culture or parents understand. Summary: Any joke that runs away from popular topics or that makes sense only for small groups of friends without the majority knowing the context.
