Humour

[olivier renault]

Not really the LMAOROFL type, but life can be pretty funny. There's hope, still. You can still laugh about pretty much anything. Except the holocaust. And necrophilia.

I can relate with the OP.


I only find amusement in dicking over my friends.

Anyone know what music that is?

The cat isn't funny, its the music that seems to make that video. Without it, its nothing

As I have got older I find 'in-jokes' with friends have got funnier, especially when you use a few together. But in all honesty, as stated above I still find find farts funny. Then there is the absurd funny in Kaufmen films that has me in absolute stitches.

If I lose the ability to laugh, I wouldn't think twice about ending it, fo' realz.

What's pink and fluffy? Pink fluff.

What's blue and fluffy?

Pink fluff holding its breath.

Jokes were temporarily ruined for me a while back when I read someone's comment that jokes work because the listener assumes one thing and is then confronted with something different. Take, as a basic example, a knock-knock joke:

Knock knock?
Who's there?
Eileen?
Eileen who? <- At this point we assume that the person will have a sensible name
Eileen Dover <- Hilarity ensues! Her name sounds like "I leaned over"!

For a time I couldn't help but analyse jokes looking for the assumption and the defiance of that assumption. I got over it, but I still find that I look at jokes in that way, so I suppose I appreciate the point that you understand why something is funny, rather than it being funny per se.
