Humour
Humour and comedy is very relative. It varies from country to country and person to person. I have noticed this especially with been in America where the sense of humour differs to the UK. People always seem to have a simular sense of humour to there siblings or friends, probably one of the reasons their friends in the first place. Humour seems to be one of the most prominent personality trait that people notice in somebody. Dark humour seems to crop up a lot due to the fact that when something awful happens, some people find the best way to deal with it is to turn the event on its head and try to draw a few laughs from the situation.
This is a video that i have found funny from a young age it is very subjective to a person that comes from Yorkshire, its not dark but it represents the difference in humour across a region.
In the first video, the airline staff basically does everything that a good airline would not do, which makes it funny.

Are some things just not funny? Can the people affected by Sandy laugh?
