Dear Poll: Do You Consider Yourself Funny?

I love a good laugh — who doesn’t? — but while I’ve certainly said a few witty remarks in my day, I don’t consider myself a particularly funny lady. I have a great sense of humor, and I’m happy to be the brunt of a silly joke, but I won’t be the one delivering the punch line. With so many celebrity funny women out there these days (hello, Tina Fey!), it seems like women are finally getting the last laugh, so are you one of them?

    Yes, I think I'm a funny gal. Sometimes I'm intentional about it, and sometimes I'm not.

    I think I am very funny and my ex bf thinks I am very funny. But my current bf looks confused most of the time when I tell him a joke...

    I make people laugh a lot...sometimes intentionally, a lot of the time unintentionally - I'm clumsy, say things like "India..that's the country next to Greece shaped like a boot, right?", have a very expressive face, and get punch-drunk and loopy really easily. So I get laughed at a lot, but I'm laughing too. Smiling I've done a couple amateur stand-up stuff and they seemed to be into it, too...I would totally do it except for the no money and not being a "real" job unless you end up on SNL.

    People laugh at my jokes sometimes but often it's me laughing at my own jokes. I'm okay with this.

    Not really, and that's one of my biggest frustrations. I feel so happy when I make someone other than my silly friends laugh! If it's a cute boy, damn, I'll feel good for the rest of the week.

    My bf is the funny one for sure...I have to convince his friends that he actually is that crazy all the time, not just 'party' time.

    I'm both sarcastic and the jokester. Laughing is the best!

    I love being funny and making people laugh. I'm half goofy and half sarcastic. I like to come up with random words or old words as use them a lot too. I've not got my mom saying anytime there's a lot of something it's a "buttload" which is really funny hearing my mom say.

    I can be funny sometimes. The thing is, people don't always expect it from me for whatever reason. So I say the most ridiculous things and instead of thinking I'm being sarcastic people are just stunned that I would actually say something that egregious out loud. I need to work on my delivery.

    I don't think I'm very funny, but other people seem to find me rather amusing. Maybe it's because I don't try? When I try, it rarely works out. As it is, I'm one of the entertainers amongst my friends, and that's hard for a wallflower like me!

    I have a sarcastic sense of humor, but I'm not sure how often I make people laugh. Although I know I have some weird quirks that make my friends laugh.

    I'm a nerdy dork. I guess people find that personality trait funny. As for clever comments/jokes, I have none.

    Most people I meet and know and even online tell me I'm funny and they tell me I made them laugh. It's just that I don't even mean to be funny. I don't even try to be one. Sometimes I even wonder what did I say that made them laugh until I ask them why they did laugh at all. Maybe because what I say are not jokes or trying to make jokes about other people. I come from a country where humor is so natural to the point of making fun of ourselves but not other people.

    I think I have a good sense of humor and can take a lot of crap/jokes from people but I am not the funniest or even the best at telling stories. I have my moments where I make smart alec remarks that make people laugh or where I am just plain goofy but I am not that girl that always makes people laugh

    Yep, I go out of my way to make people laugh and most people who know me tell me I am very funny. I often go above and beyond to do something if it will make someone laugh!

    Ive modeled before, so Ive heard various comments about being attractive- but my favorite compliment I got years ago was when I went on a blind double date with a friend and the next day when my friend talked to her date and asked what his friend thought of me he said that the guy said I was really funny- I thought that was awesome (I was particularly hilarious that night lol)

    I thought I was a little funny... until I got a PM from another Sugar user that said that I wasn't funny at all. So obviously, my ability to make people laugh is all in my head. Laughing out loud

    I know that I can make my friends laugh whenever I want and certain friends bring out my funny side. I always joke about inside jokes and it really makes people feel more comfortable around me. I don't do well with people I don't know as far as being funny. I like to think I'm witty so that really helps.

    I have almost a cruel sense of humor. I don't think I'm particularly sarcastic, but I will make lots of comments that make people laugh. My sense of humor can also come off as being mean-spirited/brutally honest. I guess I like to call people out, and just tease them.

    Oh, yes. I am hilarious. The only downfall is I'm always nervous people won't like my sense of humor, so I wait until I know people REALLY well, most of the time, so sometimes folks don't wait around to see that I'm funny.
