You are a DYO--Dark Dry Offbeat. This makes you a Neurotic.

Sunny/Dark: 9/10, drY/Gross: 3/10, Traditional/Offbeat: 6/10, Active/Passive: 6/10

You are acerbic, cynical and can smile while you're tearing someone apart. You efface others as you would be effaced yourself, and no topic is taboo -- rape, renal failure, the Challenger explosion (Christa McAuliffe so-o-o had it coming). You like characters as quirky and upsetting as yourself. You are Dorothy Parker minus the Ayn Rand aesthetic. I have some friends like you, and they're funny as all hell.

You would watch The Day After and heckle the fashion.

You might like Seinfeld (and Curb Your Enthusiasm), the Fey/Fallon Weekend Update segments, Mean Girls, and anything Michael Ian Black is doing (VH-1 specials, Viva Variety, The State, flossing).

Of the 11732 people who have taken this quiz, 3.7 % are this type.

Your Active humor score of 6/10 means you are ju-u-ust right. You're probably pretty popular -- a walking social lubricant. You know how to take someone from on edge to relaxed, and from relaxed to larfing. You're kind of like an episode of Arrested Development. That show is good. Anyway. Rave on, funny one.

It called me a lubricant...wow sometimes they're so on-target it's just uncanny

Michael Ian Black cracks me up *every* time.

Yeah, me too. Except I don't think "dry" and "gross" are mutually exclusive. That's why they invented Astroglide.

Now that was funny.

You are a DYT--Dark Dry Traditional. This makes you a Cynic.

You're a realist. You'll take the piss out of anything, and do it with style and a skinny gray tie. You find humor in the mundane. When the mundane is thousands of working class families watching their retirement savings get snarfed by unpunished white collar bandits, that REALLY gets the larfs.

You bring humor with you, and can flip over any situation to find the tender funny underbelly.

Incidentally, you're better equipped than anyone else to shake off the bad things happen to you. Mysterious lump? You've seen scarier lumps in your garlic cheesey grits. It seems like nothing makes you truly happy, but nothing really upsets you, either.

Your comic sensibility was more in tune with the eighties. But cross your fingers -- another coupla years of Bush and maybe we'll work up a nice Reagan-era national bitterness again. A sardonic orange cat will once again rule the newsprint, and Springsteen'll write more righteous Jersey retro-cock-rock anthems for the progressive pols of 2024 to cold gank. What's past is prologue!

You might like David Letterman, or maybe stay up to see if Conan has another "Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage."

Of the 12085 people who have taken this quiz, 10.6 % are this type.

Your Active humor score of 9/10 means you are a comic house on fire. You are Def Comedy Jam (for the first five minutes, before it becomes repetitive and degrading). You are a library of witty rejoinders, in-jokes, ad-libs and meatballs. Yeah, I said meatballs. They're underrated.

The trick for you is to ease yourself into a situation, since you have the capacity to dominate. If you're socially well-adjusted, you're awesome. If you're kind of nervous and twitchy like Daniel Radcliff in the Prisoner of Azkaban special features, then there can be trouble.
