I've recently learned that if a group or organization cannot exist without one person, it's not a group. It's not an organization. It's one person doing all the work and a whole bunch of other people just happened to be there.

Deadpan humor makes these comments tolerable despite their slightly harsh tone. In a nutshell, deadpan humor is delivering a joke or witty remark with very minimal emotion. 

Deadpan humor seems more effective via text, where detecting the sentiment behind the delivery is more difficult.

My husband struggles with subtitles... he's dyslexic. As around one in ten people are, that's going to be a lot of people who struggle with subtitles for very good reasons. Though personally I like them, but then I'm a bit deaf!!

Thank goodness we all find different people attractive. Chances are you’d die in the crush or die old and single otherwise. I’m still going down the old and single route anyway!

Unlike slapstick or topical humor in sketch comedies, deadpan humor is about wit and wordplay. Through intellect and irony, it urges its viewers to think beyond the obvious.

Some famous names who have incorporated dry humor into their comedy acts are the late great Norm Macdonald, “Mr. Bean” Rowan Atkinson, Sarah Silverman, and Aubrey Plaza.

Deadpan humor isn’t for everyone. According to an article by Tampa-based comedy club Side Splitters, it tends to appeal more to people with an intellectual and witty outlook.

These people are known to have a keen sense of irony and enjoy juxtaposing life’s mundanity with sharp-witted observations.

However, the unique flavor that dry humor brings can also be the source of its potential risks. As the article points out, the subtlety of delivery and the irony may lead to confusion. Some people may even take offense.

Dry humor may also be overused, creating a disconnect with the audience. For this reason, veteran comedians vary the delivery of their jokes or switch up their comedy styles to preserve the effectiveness of their punchlines.

Let’s switch the conversation to you, readers. Which of these epic top comments were the funniest for you? Would you read through the comments section if these were the replies you’d find? We’d like to hear from you!

Taking the joke to the next level: By using ticks as their weapon, the vegans are exploiting animals for their own agenda, thereby violating their own principals. The vegans are no longer vegans. Edit: violating principles, of course. Autocorrect thought that violating principals was the more likely option 🤔

I don’t keep my phone on silent because I’ve just never been able to feel phones vibrating. But I do have it set to automatically turn on do not disturb when I should be in bed. Edit: Well, I’m stupid. Of course silent or vibrate are different. I wasn’t thinking at all. But yeah, still don’t use silent except when I actually need to because I want notifications???

My experience is that women don't seem to notice them either so it's a tiebreaker.

Absolutely LOVED seeing Snoop at the Olympics. Almost as much as watching the US news services putting a disclaimer saying that there were two ways to read the medal tally!!! 😂😂😂

I always wondered about that (if it was his given name). Talk about living up to your name!

Err I shave, I am naturally quite hairy and I don't like body hair. Shaving everything below my neck takes time.

Henry Ford attributes all evil to Jews or to the Jewish capitalists," . "The Jews caused the war (WW1), the Jews caused the outbreak of thieving and robbery all over the country, the Jews caused the inefficiency of the navy" Such a nice guy.....
