Humour divide

I'm convinced there is a humour divide between North and South.

The people I tend to piss off, or piss off me are generally southern and its never intentional it just seems to happen

I kinda find their humour a bit obnoxious and in your face and they seem to find me a northern girl a bit sarcastic and abrupt I'd love to get around this but I can't seem to find that humour connection.

I like to think I have a unique brand of humour, unfortunately most people don't get me. I get a little deflated by this at times too, especially when I've tailor-made a joke for a situation say and it goes down like a lead balloon. I'm too long in the tooth now to change so I'm stuck this way but I'm still smiling

My grampy was a yorkshire man. Very dry, spoke how he found regardless of who he was speaking to (sometimes you’d want to shrivel up and die in his presence it got that awkward) but i also had a step dad who was even more blunt, very opinionated, very sarcastic and very intolerant of others. He would basically tell you what he thought of you to your face. And it usually wasn’t good!

I blame them for my “humour”. I always make my mum and my kids laugh though so i’m happy.

As a northern Lad moved to the South West I don't really see the difference.....but I do agree with what you've said....but for London, not in every case, but a lot.

I would say for some people yes but I love northern humour is way better than southerners. Some not all southerners are a little bit up themselves down here but what can I say I’m born here

It’s because the true north starts at south Yorkshire and continues right up to the wall.

Anyone else could never understand even with bespoke training!

couple, us we him her.

You know northerners tend to be more tetchy, it's very easy to light the blue touch paper with them stand back and wait for the bang...

It's funny because down south we generally couldn't give a flying fart about anyone else we are all double busy being cheeky.

Whereas the northern folk do seem to be obsessed with their superiority and hardness over the south.

And the further north you go the more touchy about it they become.

As for sarcasm being a northern thing not a chance.

It doesn't matter where your from, some have had a personality bypass, hence lack of humour.

Up here you know you're well liked if the people around you are taking the piss.

I lived in Bristol for a while and my sense of humour got me a reputation for being a bit cheeky and naughty. Up here it's just standard.

Gold's Top Ten is mostly northern, with Stan Laurel at 1. Nothing offensive about his humour.

All pop up to the Laurel and Hardy Museum in Ulverston, Cumbria.

Two Yorkshire words to describe your theory, shite and shite!

I’ve been lucky enough to meet a few very funny guys- one from Bradford, Swansea, London. And of course I’m a scream also ( southerner) so it’s norhing to do with region. I’ve yet to meet a funny woman from the north though. Just saying.
