> "The English philosopher Thomas Hobbes believed that the joy of humor came from delight in feeling superior to the person who was the butt of the joke" This one made me chuckle. I think because it highlights the primal nature of humans who regard themselves as more civilized and superior to others... My feeling of superiority over those primal judgmental people brought me delight, which made me realize my own primal nature... Which made it funnier. Then I realized that laughing at one's own self is the ultimate sign of superiority which made me feel yet more superior and delighted.
