Humor is based on incongruity and surprise.Why are all troons so wretched when it comes to humor?
Incongruity requires a sense of proportion to know when you're violating it. Narcissism doesn't coexist readily with a sense of proportion.
To handle surprise well, you must be confident in your ability to navigate the unexpected. When your whole life is a carefully staged narrative, you don't have that confidence.
They are afraid of the anarchy of true humor, and seek the safety of predictable tropes.
