Humor

Humor is.

^ I disagree. It’s a question that presents itself naturally to philosophical (even scientific) inquiry. It is a phenomenon of interest to the psychologist and the philosopher. The primary motivation of course is the interesting part that humor plays in the lives of men. Consider humor as therapy, as element of style, as culture etc. It merits investigation not just because of its universality but because it is an interesting element of the human condition. And I am thankful that Kant didn’t let things “be” as you suggested.

parang andito rin sa thread si sheldon cooper. :embarasslaff:

cha_cha:
[i]so theres this mollusk and he walks up to sea cucumber..[/i] :rotfl:

nabuhay ang dugo ko bigla :rotfl:

langya ka cha, sira na naman ang momentum ng antok ko.

behave na nga ako, baka magalit si TS…

finding things to be funny, i guess, depends on one’s knowledge or background surrounding the origin of a joke. For example,

shin_chan:

cha_cha:
[i]so theres this mollusk and he walks up to sea cucumber..[/i] :rotfl:

nabuhay ang dugo ko bigla :rotfl:

if one doesn’t know a thing about what cha_cha posted, that person won’t respond the way shin_chan did.

(buti pwede ko pa iedit ito)
other people’s deviant behavior may also elicit laughter from the adherents of sociological norms and vice versa. iskoisko2 is a very good example. i don’t need to explain further.

ironic nga ang title sa mga pinagsusulat ni TS.
Humor does not need to be deeply defined because the more you define it, the more you lose the true meaning of it.

^ you probably mean “[i][b]so much[/i][/b] time in their hands”

onT: parang may naalala ako’ng lecture na ganito sa Anthro dati during my freshman year..Tama, humor may paint a certain culture, or culture sometimes dictates what’s funny and what’s not. this is interesting, to be fair, na-appreciate ko naman yung gustong pagdiskusyunan ni [b]happyman[/b] kaso wala ako’ng gaanong useful/intelehenteng komento na maidadagdag :hihi: I probably have to read up on Kant! We don’t have to mock posters who attempt a smart discussion about something as seemingly [i]so there[/i] as humor. It’s our mark as an isko/iska–yung never taking anything at face value, and treating any old inane thing as worth a second examination.

I think hindi naman ata pina dedefine yung Humor? Mr. [b]happyman[/b] sounded like he was just soliciting for theories other than Kant’s kung kelan ang isang bagay masasabing “funny”. Ironic nga lang na wala ako gaanong ma-contribute about the topic, but this thread definitely got me on a research mode! :aprub:

^^ :tama: what’s funny depends on sino saan and kailan

copleted? anlalim, shet…

o, tapos na mga intro, joke time na!

o eto medyo luma na: [b]why is 6 afraid of 7?[/b]
