Humorous Life Lessons And The Emotional Response

By Sarah Price


Whether performing comedy on stage, or telling a friend a joke, humor can often be a good thing. Humorous life lessons are often the source for many jokes created by professional comedians. Whereas, family and friends can often share a good laugh or two over an experience which others found funny. For example, a funny incident, such as believing a goat would make a great indoor pet and blaming siblings for the goat being indoors. Then, while on a deathbed, the individual tells the truth and takes full responsibility.

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.

Whether creating, or laughing at inappropriate material, an individual is often considered to be discriminatory, often without realizing same. As such, it is also important for audience members to step up and let others know when this type situation exists. Whether that means, approaching a comedian at the end of a gig, explaining to others why a joke is offensive, or writing a film or television studio as to why a show created a negative response.

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.

The best jokes are often those based on personal experience rather than attacking others. For example, baldness has often been the punchline of many jokes when it comes to comedians. While offensive, this trend tends to continue because no one has spoken up. In addition, there are many other areas in which a comedian can draw material beyond having to personally attack audience members.

Context, intelligence, education, maturity, culture, location, radio, sports and television can all contribute to creating an emotional response such as laughter and joy, or sadness and sorrow. Individuals involved theater productions often understand the difference between comedic, dramatic, horrific and terrific material. Many of these elements, while having the ability to include humor, are often focused on obtaining a more intense emotional response.

When telling a joke, it is important that the audience be of the appropriate age to understand the punchline. Otherwise, the joke could be repeated in inappropriate surroundings. Whereas, children often find cartoons and storybooks to be quite funny while adults often prefer more advanced forms of entertainment.

Most people believe humor to be either basic human nature or a gift from the Divine. Whereas, others believe it to be a sense of joy which has no explanation. Regardless, as laughter has now proven to have an overall healing effect on body, mind and spirit, telling a good joke or explaining a humorous personal experience is often a good thing.
