When he went to his 50th high school reunion he introduced himself to an old classmate who said "Charles Schulz, huh? Too bad your not the real Charles Shulz, you know, the one who does 'Peanuts'". He couldn't convince this woman that he was the "real" Charles Schulz. He said that wasn't funny either.

I thought it was. So, funny is different things to different people I suppose.
Absolutely agree. I like the the many degrees of slapstick comedy, my wife hates the three stooges. As you said, different things to different people.
