What do I find funny?
I find intelligent humor funny: things that you may have to think about for a second but in the end it is very “highbrow” humor. I don’t like movies like Bridesmaids or the Hangover, that is stupid humor but ironically those are my sisters’ favorite movies.
I absolutely love Big Bang Theory. Shelton is my favorite character.
Rene Descartes was on a plane and the flight attendant asks if he would like some orange juice. He replies, “I think not” and disappears.
Actor’s letter to Churchill “Here are two tickets to my opening night, invite a friend if you have one.”
Churchill’s Response: “Can’t possibly make it the first night but will attend the second if there is one.”
What is the rhetorical value of humor?
It can lighten the mood, and brain wise when your laugh your brain produces endorphins which helps you retain information better. Though according to Dorothy Markiewicz, humor doesn’t really have an effect on the audience’s attitude to the message. Though half the studies done said humorous messages were more interesting than serious ones.
Are there any drawbacks to using humor?
Humor can sometimes be insulting or people may not get it or think that it’s not funny as people have different views of what is humor. I didn’t find Cyclops funny I found it more sad and pitiable.
