Quiz Analysis
You are a DGT–Dark Gross Traditional. This makes you a Prankster.
Comedy for you is when a person is kept in the most discomfort for the longest period of time. This means practical jokes, pranks, and sticking a hair up a sleeping person’s nose so he slaps himself awake.
You are probably locked in some terrifying practical joke one-ups-manship with a like-minded soul. You are also probably a dude.
You are able to acknowledge that Dumb and Dumber was a good movie, and that makes you a good person.
You might like Meet the Parents, Punk’d, and that part in Bruce Campbell’s If Chins Could Kill where he convinces a friend that his car has been shoved off a cliff. I’m not describing this adequately. You got to read it.
Of the 5197 people who have taken this quiz, 13.9 % are this type.
Your Active humor score of 4/10 means you’re a yellow dash of comedy down the middle of the humorous road. You prefer to listen than to be the center of attention, inserting funny observations and comments rather than driving the herd. That’s cool. Just remember that the quantity of funny you provide tends to make people think you’re up to something.
My Analysis
I do like the line “you’re a yellow dash of comedy down the middle of the humorous road”. How appropriate for a road geek. A Prankster. Somehow suitably appropriate, given the community I’ve gotten involved with on LJ (all the Prankstyr friends of ellipticcurve), but was never involved with in real life. However, I’m really not that much of a prankster in the traditional sense. It was DSR and others who would set up the glitter traps in the Computer Club. I’m a punster, yes. I tease with a straight face, and regularly pull legs. I certainly make off-color jokes and double entendres. In terms of humor movies, the author of this quiz obviously doesn’t know the classics: The Great Race, Hallelujah Trail, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Monty Phython and the Holy Grail, Blazing Saddles, Kentucky Fried Movie (“But you courd arways go home. Just crick your herrs thlee times…”), or Airplane. Hmmm. I think I’m actually an absurdist.
