What Is Humor?


Spoony Bard

887 views

Because some members don't know what exactly humor is, I shall give a good definition of humor.

 

Humor is a harmless entity that makes you laugh and/or entertains you. And by harmless, I mean it does not offend everyone.

 

If you make a joke, and it offends people, it isn't humorous at all. Even if you, the person who makes the joke, believes it to be humorous, the joke as a whole is never humorous.

 

Accusing someone of being a Nazi, while knowing it will offend that person, the group he belongs to, and als Germans and the Jewish, is never humorous. By doing so, you place yourself below the rank of a Nazi, which then makes yourself even worse than a Nazi. And to the person who compared me to a Nazi. Well with what I just said, you are worse than a Nazi.

 

Also since the joke was supported with images. Well the way I see it, if you sport the look, you support the view. So by having an avatar of Hitler, you automatically place yourself on the side with Hitler and support all Nazi views.

 

Thank you and goodnight.

Do you think that there is, in fact, a point where nothing is funny, despite what someone says, or what their opinion is? It doesn't matter if they think it's funny, it just plain isn't?

Humour is a matter of opinion and taste, things which vary from person to person.

 

For example, to me, this entry is humourous, though to you, it is likely not.

It should be common sense to consider the consequences of such "Humour".

Lets play a game. Its called 'Who am I?'

"Opinion. Opinion. Opinion. Opinion. Opinion."

Is that humor?

Well said Omi, well said.

 

I guess that if a joke is only funny to the person who tells the joke, it is usually not funny at all.

Explain how I have anything to do with Bonesiii's philosophies, which I do not ascribe to either and know little about, incidentally.

So humor means not being a Nazi or doing something against Vegetarian groups that use gross stuff?

The whole thing about the word opinion. If I were to use his logic, "taste" would be more accurate than opinion, but I see "opinion" and "taste" as being rather interchangeable. Which is my own "taste", to use a word that you(hopefully) won't interpret wrongly.

 

*has a feeling this'll be misunderstood, as my logic processes differ vastly from those of most people*

Funny how you bring that up, cuz you used a word that you yourself interpreted wrongly.

Or that, to you, I interpreted wrongly. As I said, my thinking is radically different from that of others.

 

And as long as my thinking makes sense to me, it matters not what anyone else thinks of it.

Ever heard of sarcasm?

But logic would dictate that if we do not understand your thinking, we would then make interpretations of our own. Could we not interpret that you meant offense, namely if you are dealing with such a subject as Nazi Germany and Hitler?

Ah, but that's your logic, not mine.

 

Yes, you could. But it wouldn't matter much to me.

Wrong.

 

Smeag's defines the situation at its best.

 

One thing you must realize, is that facts always trump opinions. Meaning the true definition of a Nazi trumps your opinion and view of one. And if you believe otherwise, well to be honest, you would be wrong with doing that.

Could you answer my question?

~SGT~

The answer would be yes. Humor is not being a Nazi.

How 'bout my 2nd question?

Wait, do we not have a contradiction here?

 

As I understand, you intended the Nazi joke to be just that, a joke.

Jokes are typically told to entertain and gladden the hearts of others. However, by your comment, it would indicate that you did not care anything about what others thought of your joke.

 

If this is true, why tell the joke at all? I'm sure that you knew there could be consequences to your action. If you are the only one who cares about the humor of your joke, would it not have sufficed to simply keep the joke in your mind and entertain yourself with it privately, rather than posting it for the world to see on the internet? Or does the fun of the moment outweigh the consequences?
