And sometimes the reason people can't explain why they don't find it funny is that they just...don't find it funny. There's nothing there to analyze, Austen just employed a type of humour that particular reader doesn't especially enjoy.

I didn't say there weren't?

This. Like humour is subjective, it's really not that complicated.

NA - I disagree. I don't think anyone has to analyze why they respond to a thing the way they do, but I think there's always a reason. I disagree with the notion that there's nothing to analyze when it comes to our individual tastes, humors, motivations, and preferences. "I don't find it funny because I just don't" is never the whole of it. It's just the linoleum flooring; there's wood or concrete underneath, whether you give a shit it's there or not.

If people find a thing boring and unfunny, they're under no obligation to investigate why, especially if they're reading something for fun.

"Eh, i'm not loving this, I'm gonna put it down and read something else and not think about this again bc it doesn't interest me" is a perfectly valid response.

I've read Austen and liked some and disliked others, it's not that I don't understand the humour, it's that sometimes it just fails to land for me and I'd rather spend my energy finding something else to enjoy than interrogating myself as to why i didn't like that particular joke.
