What's a dry wit? "Well, I'm not going to say it to her face. I mean..."

YOU GUYS, you know that video where Cook, Archuleta and Syesha talk about their impressions of each other, and Cook says that Archie has a hilarious dry wit and Archie goes, "What's a dry wit?"?

I always thought that was impossibly, unutterably ridiculous, but then I noticed that THE EXTRA INFORMATION ABOUT THE VID says:

For those who don't know, dry wit is humor told in such a way that it's not always obvious. The weird thing about Archie is that his wit and humor aren't even obvious to him because it's unintentional. It's not laugh-out-loud-HAHA humor but rather something that requires a bit of thought to get. Try searching for videos of comedian Steven Wright.

I... I... D:

My current example of dry wit is Sir James Lester on Primeval, whose comments about Cutter are so dehydrated that the Wikipedia writers discussing the show don't get the jokes. They take note of the words and not the tone or the inferences.
