My style of humor tends to lean towards dry sarcasm, often to the ire of my family. When they wonder how I ended up with that sense of humor I have to remind them of the shows I grew up watching in as a kid in the 70's & 80's.

This clip of Milton Berle going up against Statler & Waldorf should give plenty of insight.
