the science of humor - Inori - 09-22-2014
This isn't an exploitation of human nature but rather a breakdown of one of our most vulnerable social norms; humor.
Am I a sexist, racist hater for laughing?
------------------------------------------------------------
No. A good joke nearly always strikes someone's nerve(the vegans on tumblr, for example) proving that good jokes strike close to home.
And yeah, if the punchline to a joke about a quadriplegic kid with down syndrome is cancer then you're just a sick fuck. There's a fine line between comedian and sicko and that's what comedians are defined by.
The world's funniest joke, not really that funny..
------------------------------------------------------------
Two hunters are in a forest. As one shoots, his gun misfires
and blows his arm off. The other one, panicking, calls 911.
"Hello," he shouts into the receiver "My friend just died!
What should I do??" "Calm down," says the operator "first,
are you sure he's dead?" "one second," the guy says. He puts
the phone and the operator hears a shot. "Okay, what's next?"
The guy asks.
A joke we can relate to
------------------------------------------------------------
An SQL statement walks into
a bar, sees two tables and
asks, "mind if I join you?"
Dark humor, why is it funny?
------------------------------------------------------------
The thing about dark humor is, it's so fucked up it's laughable.
- what do you call a girl with one arm and one leg?
Ilean
TL; DR
------------------------------------------------------------
Humor in itself is too complex to explain in one thread. There's more to it than I put down here and I might expand on it later. I'm getting a sh!tload of coursework now so I'm a bit less active but I'll try to make more guides.

I find that puns evoke a variety of feelings, whether it is happiness or a sort of "oh my god did he really do that" feeling.

Why don't you make a guide on how humor can be used for human exploitation?

This.
Humor has a lot to do with building a rapport, so a guide teaching others how they can build a fast rapport with humor would be pretty cool. I would definitely read a thread about that!
On another note for the OP, your thread was an interesting read. I didn't gain anything from it, but it was still a fun read.
