#WritersCoffeeClub March 19: What's your narrator's sense of humor like?

In The Laundry Files, our primary protagonist Bob has a very 1990s hacker-geek-culture outlook, and a darkly cynical sense of humour about his work—he explicitly notes that gallows humour is essential to his sanity. Other narrative viewpoints differ depending on who they are: by the last book, Bob is nearly 20 years older, grim, and a bit burned-out (although he refs the Mitchell & Webb "Are we the baddies?" sketch twice.)
