Humor is a very sophisticated form of communication. Think of how much was said in so few words, by just poking at shared common knowledge.

- smolder 4y agoLots of comedy more or less proves it needn't be thoughtful as opposed to emotional. Laugh tracks, or the particular speaking style of a standup comic, are riding on the feelings they invoke. Being surrounded by real laughter also makes things "feel" funnier. Laughter is contagious. Fart jokes and home-video genital injuries get laughs with no real "thinking" component.

- cutemonster 4y agoAt least we can conclude: Dark humor is for those who both feel and think
- andreasley 4y agoHumor is fine, but when several readers don't recognize it as such, the joke obviously isn't based on shared common knowledge. Some people walk away with wrong information, and that isn't helpful.
