What is a dry sense of humour?

Question

my teacher said "your dry sense of humour has kept me entertained throughout the year".

what does a dry sense of humour mean?!

Answer 1

bad jokes and such

Answer 2

It means that your jokes have no depth to it and dont take much thought to understand but usu when i hear it used it means your jokes are bad but i would go with the fomer because it keeps her entertained

Answer 3

what she means is- your humour is funny to her but the you exclaim it, she takes it as you dont exactly mean it to be a joke, but its funny. Dry humour pretty much means its something funny, but not exactly supossed to be a joke or anything. Some people say dry humour can also be jokes that just arent really funny tho too. Many different countries have different humour, like many americans dont really think British comedy is very funny, so they would describe it as dry humour.

Answer 4

I thought it meant sarcastic.

Answer 5

I always thought a "dry sense of humor" meant someone who doesn't crack a smile or give you much of an indication if what they just said was meant in humor.  You want to laugh at what they said but you're not really sure if you should.  They tend to find humor in places where others wouldn't go.

Answer 6

It's a subtle sense of humour, maybe sarcastic and usually from observations of what's happening at the time. It is not necessarily 'laugh out loud' humour either, but can be just as funny!
