Sample Answer
In the realm of films and TV shows, my preferred genre of humour is undoubtedly that which leans towards the satirical. I find that this particular style not only entertains but also provokes thought, often addressing societal issues or political absurdities in a clever and insightful manner. For instance, shows like "The Office" or movies like "Dr. Strangelove" brilliantly employ irony and exaggeration, allowing audiences to engage with complex themes while reveling in the comedy.
Additionally, I appreciate clever wordplay and wit, which can elevate the humour to a more intellectual plane. This type of humour tends to be enduring, as its layers reveal themselves upon repeated viewing, making it both amusing and enriching. Overall, satire and intelligent quips resonate with me as they stimulate both laughter and contemplation.
