Hey, Big Al, why do all the people in my life with ADHD have such a weird sense of humor?

Oh, that's 'cause we're all super understimulated.

What does that even mean?

Imagine that the inside of your brain had an itch that you really couldn't scratch, but that itch was actually boredom, but that boredom was actually pain.

Oh, I see, yeah, that- that helps me none, zero at all. It also sounds pretty terrifying.

No, it- it's really not a big deal, you just kinda have to learn to restructure your life around it, including comedy.

Okay, so how does it affect the way that you interpret comedy?

So a side effect of understimulation is that your brain is constantly and more often than others' active. You're always thinking, you're always analyzing, you're always trying to problem solve. Because of exactly that, normal comedy and normal humor is a bit predictive, and doesn't really land with people with ADHD.

So what does land with people with ADHD?

Stark, abrupt chaos. Because it cannot be predicted, nor calculated.

Okay, so what would that even look like?

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Okay, why?
