Why do we Laugh?

Most people will say that they laugh because it’s funny. Then what is funny?
Babies don’t know what’s funny. Yet we see babies laugh. All babies cry and all babies laugh.

So laughter is something that we are born with. Why?
And why does laughter and sadness become more complex as we get older?

There is intelligent concept when it comes to making people laugh. Not so much to induce laughter, but to communicate a point of view that is funny to some and real to others.

It's important to know why a person gets a joke or why a person laughs at a particular thing.
But it's also very important to know why a person did not get the joke or laugh at the same thing as you.
Does perception have a conscience?

Comedians

 My first favorite comedian was Richard Pryor. I saw his movie at the Palace Theater in Danbury in the 70’s.
The movie was Richard Pryor performing live on stage. I never laughed so hard in my life. Then there were the comedians from Saturday Night Live. This one show has produced some of the world’s greatest comedians.
I couldn’t even imagine what the world would have been like without Saturday Night Live and the comedians they gave birth to.

When you spend as much time on the internet as I do  you are bound to come across some really funny stuff.
So since I'm organizing the internet in other categories I figured this category has been long overdue.
We all need laughter in our lives and we also need to laugh at ourselves once in a while.
I have always enjoyed comedy and humor. Joking around is pretty much part of who I am.
Though humor and laughter is incredibly therapeutic, humor can also be insensitive and make light of our greatest flaws and problems. That was the one thing that kept me from pursuing a career in comedy.
Facetious       Sarcasm        Ambivalence         Witticism
I want to make people laugh but I also want to educate people.  And being a comedian is a contradiction to being an effective educator. And once you become a comedian you will have a hard time getting people to take you serious. So I choose education instead of a career in comedy. This is not to say that I don't respect or appreciate comedy, comedians or entertainers.  I have always admired their talents and their commitment to their craft. Besides laughter is incredibly important part of being human and should always be an important part of being human. Besides that, maybe I can become a comedian near the end of my life? Because being taken seriously is always a struggle when you are a 
senior citizen, so why not have some fun.

So this category is where I will collect all the really funny stuff that I can find, or more accurately, what I think is funny. Because funny is hardly universal. That is one of the flaws of comedy because comedy is mostly dependent on comprehension and mood, which we know is sometimes different from person to person.

Perverted Humor

 

How can perverted humor, profanity and dirty jokes be so insulting and funny at the same time?
This goes way beyond comprehension and mood. It’s more about personal beliefs and personal experience.
There are just some things that you shouldn’t make fun of. Is that why comedians are so attracted to this type of taboo? Is there humor in shocking people? Why do I seem to remember more dirty jokes then the non-dirty jokes?
Is being able to laugh at a dirty joke a sign of intelligence or a sign of ignorance? Both.  
Profanity
A woman once told me that there is always a little truth in humor. Yes there is, but truth is not the always the intention of the joke for if it were a lot of jokes wouldn’t be funny. Though a joke may be used to expose the truth we should never judge the method of delivery, especially when other methods have failed. But there is definitely danger in joking about serious subjects. Dirty jokes have always got people in trouble because they choose the wrong time and the wrong place for their joke. But at the same time people like Howard Stern have made a living using perverted humor and dirty jokes. It seems that we don’t want perverted humor and dirty jokes to go away. We just want more responsibility and compassion without infringing on free speech. So can this type of humor be responsible and compassionate and still be funny? That has always been a challenge for comedians and writers. They have always found the right way and they have always the wrong way. Both ways are funny, but are both ways necessary? Another thing I noticed is that perverted humor is more funny to males that it is to females. I will watch something and laugh my ass off but when I watch that same funny clip with a girl friend, for some reason, that same humorous clip is not funny anymore. Why? Is it that I'm more aware of how funny it really is or is it just more funny to guys. Is certain humor gender-based? Maybe it's a good thing that women don't laugh at all our stupid humor.

This is so gross and wrong on so many levels, but what makes it funny is that Jon Lajoie made a song from it.
These 2 girls would win any gross out contest, which is pretty tame compared to
Fear FactorJackass or YouTube.
I really enjoy other song parodies too like from Weird Al Yankovic and others on YouTube

Can making fun of our reactions to our own ignorance make our ignorance easier to understand?
Can making fun of our beliefs make them easier to understand? Can there be truth in humor?
Though I admire South Park for using Freedom of Speech, I'm still sometimes disturbed by seeing humor as a way to bring light to our social problems. It's sick humor but some how it's kind of funny.
Can humor be a teaching method? Yes I believe that humor can be a teaching method, and a very funny method
as well...well of course not always...nothing is forever, not even a Good Joke.

 

I sometimes have this feeling that there are some people out there who are having a good laugh at my expense, well let me tell you something, if I were there I would be laughing right along side of you, cause there's no doubt that I'm one really funny character, where does it come from? A good Sense of Humor is truly a beautiful gift.
Not to say that everything is funny of course, after all I'm not that crazy?

 

 

 


 

Dirty Jokes

 

Little Nancy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbor peered over the fence. Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was up to, he politely asked, "What are you up to there, Nancy?"
"My goldfish died," replied Nancy tearfully without looking up, "and I've just buried him."
The neighbor was very concerned. "That's an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn't it?"
Nancy patted down the last heap of dirt then replied, "That's because he's inside your fucking cat."

A blonde and a brunette were walking past a flower shop when the brunette happened to notice her boyfriend buying flowers. "Oh no, my boyfriend is buying me flowers again for no particular reason," sighed the brunette.
The blonde looked at her friend oddly and said, "What's the big deal? Don't you like getting flowers?"
"Oh, sure I do, but I really don't feel like spending the next three days on my back with my legs in the air."
The blonde thought for a moment and then asked, "Don't you have a vase?"
