4 Questions to Get to Know Someones Sense of Humor
Whats worse than when you are with someone and they have a completely different sense of humor than you. These questions will test whether you two are compatible or not.
When it comes to any kind of relationship, whether it be romantic or platonic, a compatible sense of humor is essential. We’ve all been in a situation where we make a joke and get nothing but uncomfortable silence in return. There’s nothing worse than when you click with someone in every way, except humor wise. Check out the 4 questions below to test your humor compatibility.
“Do You Prefer Jim Carrey In Ace Ventura Or Eternal Sunshine?”
Two completely different vibes, two very different genres of people. If you’re into Ace Ventura-era Jim Carrey, then your date is probably a total goofball. They might be on the loud side, a flamboyant dresser, or do impressions when they’re drunk.
An Eternal Sunshine lover is most likely dramatic, likes to brood, takes everything seriously, and leans toward the romantic side of things.
“If You Tripped And People Saw You, Would You Laugh At Yourself?”
The self-deprecating humor test. If you’re going to have a good sense of humor, it’s important that you don’t take yourself too seriously.
If someone can’t laugh it off if they trip or embarrass themselves in public, that means they still care way too much about what people think. This person is driven by ego and pride, not having a good time.
“Amy Poehler Or Amy Schumer?”
Knowing female comedians is definitely part of the “how funny are you really, though?” test. And part of this test is the “which Amy do you like?” question.
Amy Poehler did “Weekend Update” on SNL. She runs the website Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls. She was in Wet Hot American Summer. She’s smart, quirky, alternative, and feminist. She’s frequently seen with Tina Fey, and who didn’t love the show Parks and Recreation?
Amy Schumer, on the other hand, is more on the self-deprecating, vulgar side. She wrote and starred in the movie Trainwreck, wrote the book The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo, and had a stand-up special called Mostly Sex Stuff.
Finding out which Amy your crush likes can tell you a lot about their personality.
“What Movie Can You Quote The Best?”
If your partner can quote every line from a Shakespeare adaptation or The Godfather, then most likely, humor isn’t their main personality trait. But if “What is this? A center for ants?!” is something they say frequently, and they own Zoolander on both DVD and Blu-ray, then laughing is probably one of their favorite hobbies.
Humor is what sometimes sustains a relationship and gets you through the good times and the bad. If you and your partner don’t have a similar rapport, then it might be hard to relate to each other, especially when it comes to sharing the remote control on movie nights. So ask some of these questions early on in dating, and see if you have the same sense of humor. Hopefully, you and your potential partner are on the same page.
