Before an individual, or comedian can decide what is funny in life, humor must first be defined. To paraphrase, humor is any action or activity in life which produces or provokes laughter. In addition, experiences which provide amusement are also thought to be of a humorous variety. For example, while embarrassing at times, someone losing a top or swimsuit while sliding down a slide at a water park often induces laughter. As such, personal experiences like this and others are often the area in which most humorous life lessons are learned.
As shown by comedians, sit-coms and other entertainment forms, humor does not discriminate. However, those using it as a means of form certainly can. Comedians and others often to be cautious when telling jokes, or writing comedic scenes for film and television. Otherwise, these individuals can quickly lose touch with an audience.
Anyone laughing at a joke, sometimes even ones which are inappropriate, or responding in laughter to an incident, television show or personal experience is often considered to have a sense of humor. There are some instances in which a laughter response is also inappropriate. For example, material related to personal economic issues, sexual orientation, religion, race, lifestyle or gender need always be avoided in this context.
Most often, those lacking a sense of humor have been offended by the material. Otherwise, it could be that the individual did not understand or grasp the meaning behind the material. As reception is often based on taste and personal knowledge, these are often the two main reasons why a joke or story does not promote a response in the audience.
Activities and actions which promote laughter can often include telling original jokes based on life experience, small world stories and children trying to explain a situation in which comparisons are often different from reality. Personal experiences which are out of the ordinary can also be funny at times. Whereas, there are movement classes such as laughter yoga which also have the ability of creating a humorous response among attendees.
Television, sports, radio, location, culture, maturity, education, intelligence and context can all contribute to humor. There can also be theater productions, television shows and movies in which humorous material is involved though not at the forefront. For example, genres such as drama, horror and mystery might include humor though the main attempt is to create a different emotional response from the audience.
Like with other forms of entertainment, it is always good when telling a joke or story that audiences be age appropriate. Otherwise, the joke or story could be retold at school or church without a child understanding the overall impact. Whereas, adults often enjoy more advanced and satirical forms of humor like those performed on stage by comedians or found in a number of television sit-coms.
Whether jokes or good, bad or inappropriate, laughter itself is a good thing. In fact, recent research shows that the response can often have an overall healing effect. As such, laughing at children, explaining a personal funny experience or telling a joke is often good for body, mind and spirit.
