Why do Goths Lack a Sense of Humor?

Is not having any sense of humor part of being Goth? Seriously, it is like everyone lacks a sense of humility. Word play seems to be totally wrong most the time. While there are a hand full of people who know what a joke is, I'm wondering if that makes them not Goth also.

I know what a joke is. It's just they're such asshole remarks most of the time people don't realize it was a joke. Lol

I don't think it's Goths, per se. Rather, I think that some folks just take the Internetz far too seriously at the wrong times, or not seriously enough at others.

As a wise man once said:

Normal Person + Anonymity + Audience = F*ckwad.

I think we're -all- guilty of that, though..

You came back to be a bitch because you seem to be offended by the fact we believe you're an idiot. You're the one taking the internet too seriously, it seems.
So seriously, you're using the bullshit defense mechanism to sya "oh you're just entertaining me" when you're bordering crying because of what we think of you. Otherwise you wouldn't be here, you masochist.

I speak only for myself when I say that I am a Very Serious Person. It's just my nature. I do have a sense of humor, though, I just reserve it for the times I feel like using it. I like to stay on guard, brah.

Q: What do you call a vegan post-punk band?
A: Soy Division.

Also, Catch still being a member here is pretty funny. And lets not forget about the humor gems called "Catch Goth Style".

Hahaha! That was hilarious, which makes this thread redundant.

Whenever I hang out with a certain group of goths I get a sore face from laughing so hard.


But really there's the same proportion of goths without a sense of humour as there are PEOPLE without a sense of humour. It's a proportion of the population that I have a lot of trouble getting along with.

You're just pissed off because he called your bluff.

On the other hand, of the little time I've been here, I've found you rather humorous due to taking yourself so seriously. You sit with that whole 'catch goth style' bit like you're one to give someone fashion advice, my dog dresses better then you. If anyone needs a sense of humor it's YOU.

I just saw her pic, and I'm pretty sure that a blind hippy could pull off a better look than her.

I'm just put off by the whole 'people don't know how to dress themselves' bit accompanied by some videos that show that she's not much better off. That and the video of the chair... I still don't get it...

Half decent Vegan joke:

Q: Why do vegans give good head?
A: Because they are used to eating nuts.

Odd guy out: I may be Vegan, but I still eat pussy....
