dan ackroyd
robin williams
keanu reaves in bill and teds excellent adventure, not recent stuff
jim jeffries.

as for me, i think i am funny but my sense of humor is all my own and i like it. i dont get everyones jokes but that is ok.
 
I know I have a sense of humor, albeit a bit corny. I understated puns and corny jokes the easiest. Sarcasm is a bit hard for me to understand when other people use it, but I've gotten better over the years at using it myself

Hang on, Robin Williams had Asperger's? And Keanu Reeves? And Dan "Ray Stantz" Aykroyd?
 
Contrary to popular belief, yes, I do have a sense of humour :)
I have a silly, childish slapstick Mr Bean, Monty Python, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy sense of humour. I don't always understand other people's jokes though, and they don't always get mine.

I have found humor to be one of the slickest, quickest, most disarming "down and dirty"(You're weapons are useless against me), social lubricants, it is an important "weapon" in the "arsenal" that is my mask...
