Today The term Geek Show is often applied to situations where an audience is drawn to a performance or show where the performance consists of a horrific act that is found disdainful but ultimately entertaining by masses. It may also be used by a single person in reference to an experience which he or she found humiliating but others found entertaining. It is used in derision.

multiple issues pov December 2007 tone December 2007 unreferenced January 2010 Geek humor , also known as nerd humor , is a form of comedy that relies on references to geek culture . Definition By the strictest definition, geek humor is a branch of humor that encompasses the interest ranges of individuals who are either known as geeks or consciously identify as such by choice. Although geek humor may borrow elements from other forms of humor, most other forms of humor are not necessarily defined by topic but by delivery, such as play on words , sarcasm , deadpan , or dry humor. As a result, geek humor typically contains inside jokes that may not be understood by those outside of the subculture. While not necessarily always intellectual in nature, geek humor exhibits heavy reliance on jargon and references that would not be understood by one who is unfamiliar with the topic or genre of interest example references or homages to Star Wars , use of gaming jargon such as pwn , or terminology rarely used outside scientific circles .
