From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Humour or humor (see spelling differences) is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. People of all ages and cultures respond to humour. The majority of people are able to be amused, to laugh or smile at something funny and thus they are considered to have a "sense of humour". The question of whether or not something is humorous is a matter of personal taste. The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which stated that a mix of fluids known as humours (Greek: χυμός, chymos, literally juice or sap, metaphorically, flavour) controlled human health and emotion. A sense of humour is the ability to experience humour, although the extent to which an individual will find something humorous depends on a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence and context. For example, young children may favour slapstick, such as Punch and Judy puppet shows or cartoons such as Tom and Jerry. Satire may rely more on understanding the target of the humour and thus tends to appeal to more mature audiences. Nonsatirical humour can be specifically termed "recreational drollery". Many theories exist about what humour is and what social function it serves. It would be very difficult to explain humor to a hypothetical person who did not themself have a sense of humor already. In fact, to such a person humor would appear to be quite strange if not outright irrational behavior. Something humourous to an individual can be entirely repulsive to another. Among the prevailing types of theories that attempt to account for the existence of humor there are: psychological theories, the vast majority of which consider humor to be very healthy behavior; there are spiritual theories which may, for instance consider humor to be a "gift from God;" there are also theories that consider humor to be an unexplainable mystery, very much like a mystical experience.

Do you think urinating is funny too? Do you think eating a sandwich is funny? I don't understand. Personally I find sexual humor very vulgar and unnecessary.

Answered by Sp!cySAMeezy {BackUp} - Sun Feb 15 03:45:04 2009 What effect do you think cartoons with adult humor have on kids?
Q. Just curious about what impact some of these cartoons with adult and sexual humor have on kids. I think it's fairly obvious that they are geared on getting kids to watch them while attracting an adult audience as well. Is this all right in your opinion? Or is this exposing kids to adult themes too early. Asked by Kermit - Tue Sep 11 22:32:09 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. My daughter was just 5yrs old when my 28 year ld brother wanted her to watch the simpsons. She said "Mom, I watched it because my uncle told me to, but I didn't like it at all. Please tell me I don't have to watch it again" Some kids have more sense than adults.
