* Lampshaded on ''[[Criminal Minds]]'': Reid (falsely) calls Aaron Hotchner a narcissist as clue to where he is taken hostage. While figuring this out, Hotch asks the team what they consider his greatest folly. Spontanous answer by Prentiss: "You have no sense of humor!" Actually something of a subversion.

* Sheldon from ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]''. He understands the concept of humor, he just doesn't ''get'' humor. When he's told that something is a joke, he forces the most fake laugh ever heard on television. And the things he ''does'' find humorous are usually beyond the scope of "mere mortals" like the remainder of the cast.

* In early episodes of ''[[Mork and Mindy]]'', Mork identifies people making [[In-Universe]] jokes by saying "Oh, humor -- Ar-Ar!" And almost as often he does that when people aren't joking.
