Yet, I enjoy the zany humor on Seinfeld and Night Court, too. And enjoy the high-society, witty, snobby humor on Frasier. As far as potty humor, if it's funny, that's great, too.
Niles was the funniest, lol. He also reminds me alot of that other 'Niles', the butler from the Nanny, although Niles from the Nanny had a slightly more sardonic wit, especially towards CC/Miss Babcock.
but if one person likes Two and a Half Men and fart jokes, and the other likes Arrested Development and wordplay, they're probably just going to stare at each other awkwardly.
Ha, that's an interesting grouping! I love Two and a Half Men and hate fart jokes. Wonder what that makes me...
Of all the many people I've met in my lifetime, I've rarely met anyone who didn't have a sense of humour WHATSOEVER, who was psychological normal at least, so I'm wondering what you would consider a person 'without a sense of humour' so to speak?
For me, someone who is so serious/insecure that they can't laugh at themselves doesn't have a true sense of humour. For instance, if someone makes a light-hearted, inoffensive joke about you, you can only see it as an insult. Indeed, sometimes I've laughed at 'insults' against me that I later found a bit offensive, but the humour sort of neutralised it.
I also find someone with a very one-dimensional type of humour lacking in a true sense of humour. Like they will only laugh when someone gets a pie in their face, or stupid sarcastic/ironic statements (such as saying 'it's a beautiful day' when it's cloudy, unless it works with something else I find statements like this tediously uncreative and unfunny). Someone with a well-developed and intelligent sense of humour appreciates most of the common forms of humour (I can laugh at pretty much all comedy), and doesn't just crack up at one-liners or something like that.
I find people without a sense of humour may go a whole day without smiling at all, whereas someone like myself, even in my darkest moments I laugh/smile easily (even when I'm frowning alot for other reasons). So much so I look really goofy/ridiculous.
there's a fine line between laughing at me, and just trying to get me to lighten up.

Terminally weird?
What constitutes a lack of a sense of humor? Simple - compare them to someone with a sense of humor. If they're not smiling or laughing, they probably have a distinct lack of humor.
Next question, please...and make this one a little harder, OK?
