Do you understand the difference between racist humor and racial humor?
Q. I frequently see people attack comedians like Dave Chappelle and Paul Mooney as "racist" (rather than racial) comedians. Racist humor uses detrimental and oppressive stereotypes which reinforce the political and social power of a dominant class, while racial humor is simply commenting on this inequity. Do you understand the difference? If so, why do you think so many people can't see the difference?

A. I understand the difference and I think that it is more about peoples discomfort with the use of racial terminology first and foremost. Many cannot get past that to really hear what Dave chappelle and Paul Mooney are saying.

What comedies have the most sophisticated humor, and which ones have the most random humor?
Q. How do you feel about comedy shows that have random and nonsensical humor?
Asked by Nero T. Pickle - Thu Sep 17 11:12:31 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Big Bang Theory has a oddly inflated sense of humor. You have to have knowledge of pop culture, as well as stereotypes, and even basic scientific conceptualization. Frasier had a great sophisticated humor. Again very well rounded with cultural references, stereotypes, laced with high brow humor. Rosanne was always a random humor type of show for me. Never sure if the physical humor, familial jabs, or some other wacky joke was going to bring me to my knees in hysterical humor. I think The Simpsons were also like that as well as Family Guy. Stewie makes jokes that hit me a few minutes later and leave me going, 'oh man did he really just do that?'. But sometimes I'm sitting there going, 'did they really need that?'.

A. Ha!!! Ha!!! ha!!! Very funny. If you must know. there's many forms of humor. It's all around you. If you look,hear,&see. The list is endless. Humor is a form of communication that starts from light to Dark. Depends on who's on it or who's involved. You see, As we grow up, we develop our wits by our parents or people we interact with. As we get older our humor grows with us. Me, myself. I enjoy all humor. Especially (sarcastic. and humor that you can get away with it.!!!) But be very careful with it. HUMOR. like all words has a double sided blade. be careful who you aim this at. Most people can't handle humor like some others. So mind your P&Q's . Enjoy.!!! Haqpy Birthday!! lol..

By the time you hit Senior year I'm sure you will have improved. I think it works like alcoholism, the first step is admitting that you have a problem, I'm proud of you little Ran for stepping out of denial.

A. Ever hear the saying,"laughter is the best medicine"? That's why humor is a very significant characteristic :) Spreading smiles to reduce tears, type of thing. When you have a sense of humor and can easily laugh, or make others laugh easily, it's very comforting for both parties. Laughing can be a release like crying - both are actually very theraputic. Hope this helps - Good luck :)

A. A satire is usually something which is based on what a person has done, or failed to do - impersonations in otherwords. Good satirists also create impersonations, much like sasha bowen cohen with Borat and Ali G. Humour is the reaction that people give towards satire. I believe it was infact, the greeks that said that all forms of comedy have satire in them.
