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.

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.

Like a lot of the shows back before cable split the TV audience into tiny shards, there was always something for everyone at the 12th Precinct. Fish, Lugar, Yamato, all the criminals....great characters, great writing.

(Yes, there's a laugh track, but like a telephone ringing, it's a suggestion, not a command)

I love dry humor, the Three Stooges, and everything in between .

BM was a great show!

Having a sense of humor is no longer allowed,
lest you get cancelled.
