What do you like about comedy?

[CherrPyy]

Hello my dear fellows.

So, I'm currently brainstorming for ideas for my first videos. I've so many ideas and now it came to my mind: what do people like to see. This is my question for you, buddies.
What do you want to see in a funny video? Which Themes do you like the most? I'm just curious what your ideas and wishes are.

Greetings

it's hard to define 'funny'.. but in general I like to see confident people be themselves

I personally fond of subtle humor.

"The Office" brings me many lulz.

Yeah I like seing original people being themselves. Not trying to imitate anyone.

Anything that surprises me makes me laugh. In fact, I think its the scientific definition for laughter. Its a defense mechanism against surprising stuff. True story.

I love QI, HIGNFY and Fawlty Towers, not sure how they could be explained...Witty dialogue? Perfect timing? Dunno, defining comedy is a bit tough ^^
I personally like it when I watch a comedy video on YouTube if the person doesn't laugh at his own jokes or pause to let you laugh..
Or *shudders* insert fake laughs

I like this answer. I fit that bill.

Be yourself, if you are funny you are funny theres no guidelines to be funny, its natural so just do you

I'm more of the... absurd premises and over the top acting and random quirkyness kind of comedy lover, I'm not too into "it's funny because it's true" but that's what most people seem to like.

I agree. Confidence is important. You could try absurd humor, in the style of Monty Python, Kids in the Hall, and even Andy Milonakis...

Yes, you need to make YOURSELF laugh, if it's TRULY funny to you, then it's truly funny to anyone who shares your sense of humor.
