Basic Trope: A character isn't fond of jokes, comedy, or humor.

  • Straight: George never laughs anytime his friends tell some jokes.
  • Exaggerated: George not only doesn't laugh when jokes are told to him, he even gets angry and even assaults the teller, no matter if it is an innocent joke.
  • Downplayed: George has a normal humor sense, but when the jokes are about him, he does not distinguish if they are innocent jokes or "Just Joking" Justification.
  • Justified:
  • Inverted: George takes everything as a joke.
  • Subverted: Actually Pretty Funny
  • Double Subverted: Dude, Not Funny!
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: ???
  • Enforced: ???
  • Lampshaded: "Come on, George! Why can't you laugh at yourself for once?"
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
  • Deconstructed: George's friends decide to abandon him because he never enjoys humor.
  • Reconstructed: George gives them an ultimatum: Either they stop joking altogether or he will abandon them instead.
