I'll just take a wok over there.
He's dry, similar to Al Bundy, but absolutely deadpan. Thanks. Right up my alley.

I have four intelligent sisters and they are all skilled at dry humor. One in particular. Like a fastball low and inside. They sail over many peoples' heads, which is additionally funny.

Love it!
I also like Monty Python and Diane Morgan (Crunk on Earth).

Dry humor is great! I always loved Barney Miller, although I don't think I've seen it as an adult.

Barney Miller was a good show.

My dad watched that show, I was a tad young at first, and lots went over my head.
But Dietrich was my favorite. And I also really enjoy Monty Python. "Klein..ei? ei...oh" And that ever so slight grin. I like how when he said "wok" he almost laughed.

And then he explained the joke! Two laughs for the price of one.

Having a sense of humor is no longer allowed,
