NYC will have more votes than the other cities put together, and justifiably so.

I'd say LA because of Disney and well, it's only the home of showbiz, where countless tv comedies and movies are PRODUCED.

I guess it would depend on what you find funny. If you're more into dry humor than one of the northern cities would probably be best.

But if you're into earthy humor with a lot of profanity (mostly the word motherf-er) and good stories you'll want to go to one of the southern cities for that.

I get NYC humor. I just don't laugh. New Yorkers do many things great, but comedy just ain't one of them, I'm sorry.

Considering I legitimately think Rachael84's profile here is an absurdist post-modern exercise in experimental humor and not the least bit serious, I'll give a nod to New York for this category. I think her profile and TANaples profile were both created by one person merely to stretch the boundaries of classical humor in order to point out the futile ridiculousness of tautological existence. I am genuinely in awe of both profiles, and I realize I'm lucky to be in the presence of such comic genius that relegates Andy Kaufman's schtick to the equivalent of knock-knock jokes.

In other words, I don't know if New Yorkers have the best sense of humor, but they certainly have the most cutting-edge sense of humor... if in fact those profiles were in reality created and maintained in New York City. Chances are they're probably actually manned by some guy in a basement in Missouri.

I say the south. Southerners are natural and pleasant. We make fun of ourselves all the time, and don't take ourselves extrememly serious like northeners.

Relax. It's a compliment. I think you're hilarious.

I also find scatological humor very amusing.
