Why are there so many ENTx comedians? Now I know there’s ENTx’s who aren’t and there are a lot of ESTP, ESTJ and ESFJ who are also comedians. But there sure are a lot of ENTP and ENTJ ones also.

I would imagine it’s because people find them funny!   But also, a captive audience? 
Crowd validation?   Performance related adrenaline rush? 
Getting to sharpen your wit on hecklers?  Having an outlet to deal with whatever ridiculous nonsense is happening around you? 

I don’t know!  I don’t know their life choices!

… I guess mostly I’m curious as to why you’d find it surprising?

Who are your favorite sorts? Did you enjoy typing some people more than others? How many asks do you have now?

Lots of people are fun to type!  I enjoy the surprising ones – usually people I know about peripherally who turn out to be a completely different type from what I was expecting from media perception.  I think the last one of these was Jared Kushner, and before him, Bobby Kennedy.  INFJs with comparable career trajectory (presidential campaign managers for ESTP family members)!  Finding an INFJ is a bit like winning a treasure hunt, anyway – they always manage to turn up in the weirdest places (like John Graham, Bachelor contestant.  Kind of thought they would avoid that show forever!).

Realizing that a show I’m watching has two or three N-types in the main cast is kind of surprising, too.  Doesn’t happen too often.  Person of Interest still has the most unusual cast I’ve ever noticed (ISTP and INTJ leads with an INFJ regular in later seasons).

Typing people who are just like someone else is entertaining.  Last one of these I picked out was Joe Lieberman – his face moves just like Harrison Ford’s, and he sounds a lot like him, too.

I like typing groups where I can find all or most of the types.  In families: British Royals, Kennedys and Jacksons.  In sports: long distance running  figure skating.   And in music: harp!  It is just a particularly useful thing to do.  It makes it easier to distinguish between closely related types (if you know two family members are not the same type), and it makes it possible to see how type manifests physically (philosophically?  artistically?) in a specific task, or similar tasks.

On a personal level, I like watching video of people who’ve led interesting lives, but it can be counter-productive when typing, since I’ll get stuck watching one person for an hour or so instead of chugging through asks.  I’ve learned a lot, though, so fair trade-off!  I don’t really mind watching most people, since it tends to be interesting in an mbti sense, but certain things are becoming a little exhausting.  For instance, if I never hear the words “As an actor,…” again it will be too soon.

I have 1783 asks, which actually translates to 1572 individual people to type.
