Whether performing comedy on stage, or telling a friend a joke, humor can often be a good thing. Humorous life lessons are often the source for many jokes created by professional comedians. Whereas, family and friends can often share a good laugh or two over an experience which others found funny. For example, a funny incident, such as believing a goat would make a great indoor pet and blaming siblings for the goat being indoors. Then, while on a deathbed, the individual tells the truth and takes full responsibility.
Discrimination has often found a place on stage with comedians, in sit-coms and television shows. While provoking a response in many individuals, this material is often quite offensive to a large percentage of the audience. As such, it is imperative to be cautious when preparing or writing comedic material to avoid anything which would be considered discriminatory.
Generally, anyone laughing in response to a joke is often considered to have a sense of humor. There are instances in which creating material or telling jokes is inappropriate. For example, jokes related to disability, gender, lifestyle, race, religion, sexual orientation or other personal issues often offend rather than entertain.
Most often, those lacking a sense of humor have been offended by the material. Otherwise, it could be that the individual did not understand or grasp the meaning behind the material. As reception is often based on taste and personal knowledge, these are often the two main reasons why a joke or story does not promote a response in the audience.
Activities and actions which promote laughter can often include telling original jokes based on life experience, small world stories and children trying to explain a situation in which comparisons are often different from reality. Personal experiences which are out of the ordinary can also be funny at times. Whereas, there are movement classes such as laughter yoga which also have the ability of creating a humorous response among attendees.
Whether education, culture, maturity, radio, sports, television or personal experience, these are areas from which great humor can often be derived. Also, by working from personal experience, comedians and others can often avoid offending audience members based on personal identity and appearance. As such, it is often best to create material before taking the stage rather than using personal attacks as a form of entertainment.
When telling a joke, it is important that the audience be of the appropriate age to understand the punchline. Otherwise, the joke could be repeated in inappropriate surroundings. Whereas, children often find cartoons and storybooks to be quite funny while adults often prefer more advanced forms of entertainment.
There are basically two beliefs as to the origins of humor. One being, that it is a Divine gift, and the other being that it is basic human nature. In either case, as it has been proven that laughter can have a healing effect, it is often good to tell a joke, a funny story, go to a funny film, or share personal experiences which have provoked laughter whether in oneself or others.
