Communication humor is a great way to bring people closer together. Humor cheers up and gives positive emotions. Humor can create an atmosphere of fun and joy. In some situations, humor helps to see the problem from a different angle, to treat it with irony.
Humor preferences
A good joke helps to start communication on a positive note and remove the communication barrier when meeting. Having a sense of humor helps a person to win over the interlocutor, to win the sympathy of the audience during performances.
Of course, people like humor, in which they recognize themselves and their friends. For example, funny jokes that present people's qualities in a humorous light or describe funny situations. So, the description of funny events that occur in a person's life cause a smile: at work, in a family, on the street, in a store.
As a rule, each person has their own preferences in humor. Some people like subtle humor, which, while hiding the essence of the joke in the narrative, neatly ridicules the subject. Such witty humor is not understandable to everyone, and therefore most people prefer simple jokes that are clear the first time.
Types of humor
There is also a category of people who like "black" humor - humor in which unpleasant or negative topics are presented in a humorous light. For example, cynical jokes about violence, death, disease.
Some people use an ironic form of humor, for example, self-irony - presenting any of their features in an exaggerated or opposite subtext.
Humor is also popular in the literature and art of the satirical genre. In such works, with the help of various comic means (satire, parody, grotesque), objects, heroes, phenomena are depicted in a humorous light for the public. An example of the use of the grotesque in a work of art is a caricature.
Of course, humor depends on the age, gender, nationality, worldview of a person. Therefore, the subject of humor preferred by a person can also be different. Most men enthusiastically tell jokes about blondes driving or an unloved mother-in-law. While others refer such anecdotes to flat humor.
Some people prefer non-standard humor - humor without rules and restrictions, in an unusual format. Also popular is professional humor associated with a particular field of human activity: medical, political, military and others.
It should also be noted that humor can be presented in various forms: auditory, text, graphic, video, and others. For example, visuals prefer to watch humorous TV programs and videos on the Internet. Audials love to hear jokes.
