48% of people say they are funnier than their siblings
You might not agree, but your sibling probably thinks he or she is funnier than you.
According to a new YouGov Profiles poll of more than 25,000 siblings, a plurality (48%) believe they are either “much more funny” or “slightly more funny” than their siblings. Even if your brother or sister don’t believe they earn more laughs, a little more than one in four (28%) say they are “about as equally funny” as their siblings.
Just 13% of individuals with a sibling assume they are less funny than their siblings. Another 10% of siblings are unsure about where they stand in the sibling-humor lineup.
Further data from YouGov Profiles shows that men are more likely to consider themselves funny in the family—53% of males with siblings say they are “much more funny” or “slightly more funny” than their siblings. In comparison, just 42% of females with siblings say the same.
