  8. Part 1: Humor Foundation History, theory, and benefits, oh my!

  9. History of Humor Greek philosophers Presidential in-house humorists Norman Cousins More research on humor in the past 25 years than all centuries combined.

  10. Definitions • Humor = Normal + Incongruity • Humor makes you think differently • Language vs. humor • Humor is criticism, cloaked as entertainment • Sense of humor – a readiness to find something to laugh about.

  11. Laughter Theories SURPRISE – catches you off guard and causes you to laugh. SUPERIORITY – laughter is a socially acceptable outlet for aggression. INCONGRUITY – triggers laughter by connecting 2 or 3 concepts that seem absurd RELEASE/RELIEF –laughter relieves tension and anxiety (e.g. nervous laughter). Freud said laughter is a physical manifestation of repressed thoughts …

  12. Humor-related Quotes “You don’t have to be funny to have a sense of humor.” – Jeanne Robertson “We see what we seek. We choose what to focus on.” – Yakov Smirnoff “A smile is the shortest distance between two people.” – Victor Borge “Humor is about something normal that is violated in someway that we can tolerate.” – Bob Mankoff “Humor is the good-natured side of truth.” – Mark Twain

  13. Common Humor Topics • Sex makes up 50% of all jokes • Ethnic humor is 2nd (family conflict is 3rd) • More than 50% of all humor is based on a play-on-words (a twist on familiar cliches, metaphors, book/movie/song title, famous quotes, national ad slogans, or any expression known widely by the public)
