The wrong people think that if you have one you're not serious, because they're not serious. They don't get what a sense of humor is, they think it is making fun of double standards and bullshit like that. A sense of humor is like common sense, it's dangerous not to have one.
The bubbly girl thought that because what she said and did was unhilarious and showed a poor sense of humor she would never admit to having, because she thought she was the funniest person in the world (because she was a narcissist) , that everybody else was like her, just as silly as her. If they said or did something that other people thought was funny or got, even if she didn't, to her it meant that the other person wasn't serious, because she wasn't serious, (she didn't hold anything sacred enough to be serious about it) so nobody else was either.

Get the Sense of humor mug.Stephen King calls it anger with it's make up on, so when someone is always making unhilarious attempts at humor, it's because they are silly, not angry. It's because they are the worst kind of clown, one that isn't funny.
It's better not to have any sense of humor than to make unhilarious attempts at one to be part of a group so that you don't end up alone.

Get the Sense of humor mug.A phrase I have apparently hallucinated as being in Metal Gear Solid 3/Delta, yet it still fits the vibe of Metal Gear Solid. I thought it came from the first radio call with Major Zero in MGS 3/Delta, but after rewatching that part, I was wrong.
("You're a ghost, Snake, in every sense of the word." is the phrase I wanted to put in the definition box, but it has to be said in the same order to post.)

Get the Ghost in every sense of the word mug.The process by which certain beliefs become elevated to the status of "common sense" precisely because they have been confirmed so often, by so many, for so long, that their confirmation is no longer visible as an active process. Common sense feels like direct perception of reality, not a hypothesis, because its confirmation history is buried in cultural memory. This bias hides the contingency of these beliefs, making alternatives seem not just wrong, but insane. Common sense is the ghost of confirmation bias after it has become invisible.
Confirmation Bias of Common Sense Example: In 1700, it was common sense that the Earth was young and that kings ruled by divine right. These weren't beliefs; they were the backdrop of reality. Questioning them was folly. Today, common sense includes human rights and germ theory. Confirmation Bias of Common Sense reveals that yesterday's common sense was just a massively confirmed hypothesis, and today's will be tomorrow's historical curiosity. The bias is in forgetting that all sense was once nonsense.
