FUNNY SAYING interesting facts and info… Unintentional humour, that is, making people laugh without intending to (as with Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space) Character Driven, deriving humour from the way characters act in specific situations, without punchlines. Exemplified by The Larry Sanders Show and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Note - many more exist Contents [hide] 1 Understanding humour 2 Humour formula 3 See also 4 References 5 External links [edit] Understanding humour Some claim that humour cannot or should not be explained. Author E. B. White once said that "Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind." However, attempts to do just that have been made, as follow. The term "humour" as formerly applied in comedy, referred to the interpenetration of the sublime and the ridiculous. In this context, humour is often a subjective experience as it depends on a special mood or perspective from its audience to be effective. Arthur Schopenhauer lamented the misuse of the term (the German loanword from English) to mean any type of comedy. One explanation of humour is based on the fact that a great deal of humour is a consequence of language. Language is an approximation of thoughts through symbolic manipulation, and the gap between the expectations inherent in those symbols and the breaking of those expectations leads to laughter. Irony is explicitly this form of comedy, whereas slapstick takes more passive social norms relating to physicality and plays with them. In other words, comedy is a sign of a 'bug' in the symbolic make-up of language, as well as a self-correcting mechanism for such bugs. Once the problem in meaning has been described through a joke, people immediately begin correcting their impressions of the symbols that have been mocked. This is one explanation why jokes are often funny only when told the first time. Another explanation is that the essence of humour lies in two ingredients; the relevance factor and the surprise factor. First, it is necessary to present of something familiar (or relevant) to the audience to gain their involvement. From there, they may think they know the natural follow-through thoughts or conclusion. The next principal ingredient is the presen
tation of something different from what the audience expected, or else the natural result of interpreting the original situation in a different, less common way (see twist or surprise factor). For example: A man speaks to his doctor after an operation. He says, "Doc, now that the surgery is done, will I be able to play the piano?" The doctor replies, "Of course!" The man says, "Good, because I couldn't before!"

In language, or a situation with a relevance factor, or even a sublime setting, an audience has a
certain expectation. If these expectations fail in a way that has some credulity, humor results. It has been postulated (citation neeeded) that the laughter/feel good element of humor is a biological function that helps one deal with the new, expanded point of view: a lawyer thinks differently than a priest or rabbi (below), a banana peel on the floor could be dangerous. This is why some link of credulity is important rather than any random line being a punchline. For this reason, many jokes work in threes. For instance, a class of jokes exists beginning with the formulaic line "A priest, a rabbi, and a lawyer are sitting in a bar..." (or close variations on this). Typically, the priest will make a remark, the rabbi will continue in the same vein, and then the lawyer will make a third point that forms a sharp break from the
established pattern, but nonetheless forms a logical (or at least stereotypical) response. Example of a variation:
A gardener, an architect, and a lawyer are discussing which of their vocations is the most ancient. The gardener comments, "My vocation goes back to the Garden of Eden, when God told Adam to tend the garden." The architect comments, "My vocation goes back to the creation, when God created the world itself from primordial chaos." They both look curiously at the lawyer, who asks, "And who do you think created the primordial chaos?"
In this vein of thought, knowing a (More for FUNNY SAYING information, see also: wholesale funny t shirt funny red sox t shirt funny ass t shirt funny bowling shirt cool funny t shirt funny toddler t shirt funny shirt site t web funny golf t shirt funny t shirt for woman funny beer t shirt funny shirt logo funny tee shirt saying dog shirt funny funny shirt fishing funny t shirt funny lad shirt t funny wedding t shirt funny police shirt t funny golf shirt funny shirt for kid funny maternity shirt tee cheap funny shirt funny mexican shirt funny birthday t shirt funny t shirt for sale funny maternity pregnancy shirt t funny)
