What do you find funny that other people don't?

[Jamie (K)]

Is there anything that you find funny that hardly anybody else sees the humor in? I have a lot of things like this. Examples:

There was a British rock musician (I think from the 1970s) named Roy Wood, and he used to record songs that were take-offs of American styles of rock & roll that nobody else imitates, like Bill Haley & the Comets' style, or the style of old "hairspray rock" hits that Phil Spector produced for girl groups like the Crystals or the Ronettes. There's always some interesting instrumental twist on the styles when Roy Wood imitates them, though. I think these recordings of his are absolutely hilarious -- not because of the lyrics, but because of the musical arrangements -- but other Americans don't seem to see any humor in them.

Once I saw an old German movie called "Zu jung, um blond zu sein", which means "Too Young to Be Blond". This title got me rolling on the floor laughing, but I've only met one other American who sees why it's funny.

Men wearing bow tie. They looked like they're choked or ribbon-tied presents especially if the bow is somewhat skewed.

But everybody or anybody might find it handsome and sophisticated.

Hi,

This might be slightly off-topic but I can't help asking NinaZara what she thinks of men wearing a bow-tie and white gloves.
