Help me with my sense of humour?

I am a photographer with a dry sense of humour, as seen by the funnies below. This is generally the blatant misuse of something obvious and normal:

-a friend's crudely drawn MS Paint rendition of his own self-portrait photo

-a wedding photographer's new package deal including himself shirtless on a horse

-a status about liking cats, liking talks with cats, and telling them how much they are liked

-a pro having photoshopped a large moustache onto one of his female models

-using an 85mm f1.2L at f16, completely unnecessary. Even the idea that this lens now makes his photos fantastic, regardless of how talented he already is.

-the prefix of Le before the occassional subject or noun, making it French. Le Canon

-the regular use of a racing harness as a camera strap, overkill

These are totally my sense of humour, I absolutely love the concepts; however I can't seem to come up with my own. I think this is rooted in my socially awkward upbringing, but I still haven't turned it around by age 20. Please help me get more in touch with my humour, or at least brainstorm more ideas :)

    hahaha some of those were pretty funny, you must share my sense of humor. It seems that a bit of cruel and modest irony is your sense of humor. If you don't know what irony mean, then look it up online. There's nothing wrong with it. Umm I guess the problem that some people might have with it though is when you tell them something ironic, but they don't understand because they have no knowledge of the topic you are joking about. Say for example, (it's not really that funny, but it kinda is) I would laugh if I heard that a man who sells knives and scissors for a living was sent to the hospital after recieving a paper cut. Or there was a person who died in a tragic escalator accident(escalators are like the safest things ever so it would almost be a challenge to get killed by one). I also think little cardboard boxes are funny, like if I just see one sitting there in the corner and I'm all alone so nobody hears me, I legit can't stop laughing. Because cardboard boxes are so modest and unimportant, but they always look like they are there like they think they are better than everybody, but they don't realize just how unimportant they are, like they want to be people but they can't be because they are just boxes. I think that's funny, haha.
