Rowan Atkinson has IQ 178

This section is an example listing of various comedians who appeal to various audiences (demographic "filters") of people as funny or enjoyable to listen to. It is not intended to be complete, obviously, as there are literally millions of examples that could have been chosen for this page. Use these examples for insights into the The MOA and Genesis of Humor, both on the part of the presenter and the individual listening to them.

For the reader, some of these will be obviously funny. To others, the same comedians may not be funny at all. This is due (ConserveLiberty hypothesizes) to both genetic differences leading to instinctual differences in the perception of humor, the ability to manifest humor, and to cultural differences as well.

Thus, examine depending upon your curiosity, and for your own enjoyment.

And, HAVE FUN!

Political:

• John Oliver
  
  Stupid Watergate: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

  • If you work on a comedy show, your basic form of communication is teasing. That's generally how we speak to each other: you communicate the information between the lines of insulting sentences.
  
  
  
• Jon Stewart
  
  Jon Stewart To Media: Time To Get Your Groove Back
  • Liberal and conservative have lost their meaning in America. I represent the distracted center.

Dark humor:

• Bo Burnham
  
  Repeat Stuff (5'06")
  • Uncharted territory is a good place to be in.
  • There's a certain line between jokes and music and poetry that's a bit blurred in my mind.
  • I misdirect the audience, so they have no idea where they are or who they're listening to.
  • For me, if you distill comedy down, it is surprise and the unexpected. That has to be it on its most base level, in any form.

  Thoughts & Prayers (extracts) - Netflix 2015 (2'19")
  The Netflix clip nearby is only 2 minutes of extracted clips.
  
  The entire one hour Netflix episode is well worth watching. Rhetoric, irony, unexpected transitions, connecting understood recognized patterns with other pattern recognized unexpectedly. Joining the "nonrelevant" in a way that suggested credibly anticipated relevance.
  
  Awesome examples of absolutely every important aspect of anything you would care to know about regarding how Humor actually becomes manifested and recognized, from a variety of directions, all with the common attributes that may be detailed "bullet-style" elsewhere within this chapter.
  
  Many will "get it" Some won't. All will understand that whatever they are hearing is ... well, listen for yourself. The entirety of what the effective "gold standard" presentation of what ultimately is recognized as unexpected, ironic, and "out-of-pattern" while delivered "within pattern" until the last moment ... can be recognized by watching Anthony Jeselnik.
