I feel that this little clip from "The Onion Movie" is a prime example of what my ideal kind of humor is.
First and foremost it is silly; the concept of changing a definition for convenience purposes and thereby running from the reality of it is utterly ludicrous.
Secondly it is surreal; This ludicrous idea is juxtaposed perfectly with the very real and serious situation of news creating a highly abnormal and unreal situation.
Most importantly for me though is the visual aspect. I find that I respond best to visual humor and so the sudden picture of an obese man, with bold text beneath him declaring that he is formally obese tickles my funny bone in just the right spot. God I'm easily amused!
