I know a guy, a genuinely decent guy, who's helped me through some pretty rough times. Dude would give me the shirt off his back, and I'd do the same. I care for and about him and think the world of him.
Thing is, he's got an *awful* sense of humor. AWFUL. As in, likes Adam Sandler, "Date Movie" and its successors, and his "wit" consists mostly of broad accents and parroting lines from shitty sitcoms or movies.
Now, he's not a dumb guy, but for whatever reason he's just. Not. Funny. I can have a lot of fun when we go out drinking and playing pool, but we can't really trade barbs because his witty repartee pretty much ends with "your mom is *whatever we were just talking about*". It's hard to pretend to be amused, and lately I've just stopped bothering.
What would y'all do? *Should* I even do anything? I mean, it's not like I need to overlook a criminal record or an obsession with boy bands, but it's still irksome.
