Humor And Values

It’s Friday. So let's inject a little humor in our day.

I am curious if anyone else has “humor alignment videos.” If you are saying what is that, let me explain. Think of them like values. Values should shape and align culture so these videos should shape and align your friends you share the same sense of humor with. Here’s a quick definition.

2–4 YouTube videos that represent your humor. They act as a quick test to see if someone shares your sense of humor and worldview.

So you know if you show them to someone and they don’t think they are funny, then you don’t share the same humor. Not saying you shouldn’t be friends with them or that they are terrible people. It just means they may not “get you” fully.

It can also act as a discernment tool if your humor can tend to be dry, dark, or otherwise off-putting to the average soul. These videos can really save some awkward silences or lengthy explanations of why something is funny that will never truly convince them it is funny.

A quick guide to finding and using this type of value system.

-Find your 2-4 videos. Try to find a good spread of length. So like a 5-30 second one, a minute and half one and then maybe a full 3-5 minutes.

-Show the 5-30 second one first. If they find it funny, then continue up the line to the next video.

-If they don’t find it funny and walk away, do not chase them down and show them the next video. Just don’t. Let it go. Not everyone has your sense of humor, and that’s okay Ryan.

Values are important, alignment is important. Finding people that will laugh with you though, priceless.
