Humour and what someone finds funny has to be one of the most subjective things in the world. As a designer you have to be really careful about how you use humour. I would state that really anyone producing work online (and offline) has to consider use of humour carefully. Online humour can get taken in many ways. There are so many instances where attempts at easing the user through humour ends up just putting them off or at worst offending them. My own experience has recently been regarding my spelling of the section as Expresso not Espresso on this blog. It was done so as a joke as I am dyslexic and couple with this I actually liked the notion. Thing was, not many others seem to have got this and after another comment regarding this today I have gone back to plain old Espresso. This just illustrates what I thought was humour just confused people and may have even put others off my site.
