 Standup Comedians
For example, if the comedian seems excessively mean to the point of offending your sense of justice, then you will not like that comic, and little of what he or she can say will seem funny to you.
On the other hand, if you find yourself "rooting" for certain comedians, it's because you sympathize with them, and you'll be more likely to find the humor in their material.
Likewise, if you and the comedian share a common culture or point of view, you will probably appreciate the comic's message more.
