No Sense of Humor: Difference between revisions

 

{{quote|'''Geordi:''' Data... I made that joke ''seven years'' ago.

 

A character with No Sense of Humor is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|incapable of enjoying jokes, comedy, or humor]] of any sort. Maybe the character is [[The Stoic]] turned [[Up to Eleven]], or an otherworldly being with no notion of comedy, or the victim of a traumatizing accident—whatever it is, this person will not (or ''cannot'') respond to humor, tell jokes, or even recognize when something is funny at all.

 

{{examples}}

* Light from ''[[Death Note]]'' lacks any sort of sense of humor. Although he does make a [[Cannot Convey Sarcasm|"joke"]] about wanting to trade away half his life for shinigami wings.

* Touya Akira and Touya Majin in ''[[Hikaru no Go]]''.

 

 

* [[Alan Moore]]'s ''[[Promethea]]'' features a female cop [[Named After Somebody Famous|named]] [[Lucille Ball]] in the supporting cast. She frequently has to say, "No relation" and remind people that she has No Sense Of Humor.

* [[Batman]] himself sometimes falls under this trope, [[Depending on the Writer]].

** Surprisingly enough, the original version of [[The Joker]]. In his first appearance, he was a permanently smiling psychotic gangster with ''no sense of humor whatsoever''. In his first fight with Batman, Bats is actually the one making puns, while Joker is screaming [[I'll Kill You!|"I am going to kill you!"]]

* [[Moon Knight]], also [[Depending on the Writer]]. Rather apt given that he's an [[Expy]] for [[Batman]].
