my problem is that I have to have two separate attitudes when it comes to joking. around my friends its okay to use gaming jokes and tabletop jokes (like using khorne's method, which is kill everything). but when I'm around my work colleagues I have to use common jokes and sarcasm has to be limited somewhat as ive tried using sarcasm a couple of times where they just don't get it.
and my humour is generally okay, but I get certain moments where I can tell a perfect joke at the right time and it cracks people up.

Most of my friends have the same sarcastic, self-referential, absurdity laced sense of humor that I do. It can get bad enough that when I talk to certain people on the phone I have to make sure that there is nobody within earshot or risk some very weird looks. Hearing only one side of the conversation while out of the loop can be very dangerous to your mental health...
I don't claim to be the funniest guy in the world, but I can get a lot of laughs out of my friends and family
having said that, they get laughs out of me
Also, sometimes when a joke dosen't work I have the awkward social defense mechanism of desperately clinging onto it in the hope of MAKING it funny. It never works

for the most part i am the funny one around my friends, i do alot of my jokes and "funnies" through face/hand actions and different voices though so most of my humor applies to alot of different people, i've met maybe two people before who i can think of off the top of my head that i never understood or couldn't get a laugh out of them.
not trying to brag here..but we had this one coach in high school with the super emotionless face who never laughs or cracks a joke or even fucking grins, and it took me 3 fucking years but i got him to laugh out loud and fall over after practice one time, and his laugh is the most loudest raunchiest thing i have ever heard, it was scary,shocking, and hilarious all at the same time. and of course i did a fist pump after that.

Well, some of my humor might go over their heads, but then it's usually because one needs to know a specific reference or meme that most people won't know about. And then there's those time where it's only funny to me, in my own mind.
But I can make jokes that people get, don't get me wrong. It's just that I have to be somewhat 'picky' about which jokes I tell and which I don't. And some people find it hard to pick up on my sarcasm for whatever reason. I guess I have a trust-inducing face.

I use two types of humour, the one no-one gets, and messes with their heads, and the the joke that is funny during the situation.
Most people usually get it but I'll get taken the wrong way all the time. Like the time I worked at Taco Bell and we had a running joke that I killed people for pleasure,I Don't,but a girl got freaked out a bit and me and the manager had to have a talk.
I think it's because I have a serious face and stay quite that people take me too seriously which sucks because I'm usually so unserious.

No. People wonder what's wrong with me. Like when I tell people "DUDE, THAT'S A KEWL HAT!" when they aren't wearing a hat. I laugh, they go "WTF?"
But on track, no. No one has ever laughed at me when they weren't family or close friends.
I'm an outcast. *SNIFF* *Sings "Nobody Likes Me"*

My jokes tend to be bad puns, laden with nerdy pop-culture references. Only my friends get them... and oddly, my last manager. We move product around the store on these things called U-boats. I always ask, "where do you think they make these?" He's the only one in 7 years that said 'Germany?'. I was pretty happy that day.
Meh, My friends think I'm hilarious...generally, people my age , and those I choose to affiliate myself with think I'm rather funny...My parents however, have been told on several occasions that my time in the comedy-store or in clubs doing stand-up has been terrific. But they just dont find me funny...hell, my Dad resents me for not being a man's man, and instead being whimsical and silly. That's life though 
People have a tendency to laugh at things I say or do, yes. Even when I try to be serious. Maybe it's because I sometimes talk about pretty banal and stupid things as if they meant the whole world.
But I can make people laugh at my own merits. I can say funny things. Jokes and such. Say a witty comment or make a funny face at just the right time. But I never could pull off the "a priest walks into a bar"-kind of telling a joke where you memorize a story whole story with punchline.
Also: my jokes never go over ones head; much more often they're way below. But never in an uppsetting way. All right, so maybe me and my friends can go way overboard sometimes with our very politically incorrect humour. But we keep that to ourselves - to protect all the well meaning people out there from our violent bursts of stupidity and foulness.

No, not at all. My jokes are filled with references to inane things and slight condescension of everything. No one gets me but my wife, who thinks I'm too funny to talk sometimes. Around everyone else I have to hold back, a lot.
Edit: I can make people laugh by the way I tell stories, if I'm inclined to. I usually don't care though.
