Tonight, watching a re-run of Jay Leno, I realized something about my taste in comedy.

Most of the jokes were not funny nor witty, yet yielded a decent audience response with plenty of laughter.

Then Jay did a semi-racist joke. He started off talking about that show 'Dancing with the Stars,' which was a terrible beginning. Then he said, "Yes, Dancing with the Stars, unless, of course, you're in China, then it's called Dancing with SARS."

So this is the first joke I laugh at all show, and I notice that in the audience there's maybe 10 people laughing hysterically and the whole rest of the audience booing or making disgusted sounds.

Is is bad to have a minority comedic taste?
