Those questions popped into my head as I got into the comic section of News Strait Times. They say Snoopy comic, or known as PEANUTS is funny. But I can never get the humour in it.
Perhaps Peanuts is categorised in the 'cold jokes' category? I'm confused.
Of all the nine comic strips, I only find 4 strips amusing.
Amused I am...but not cracking up.
Those comic strips just manage to fish a smile from me.
Does that mean I have no sense of humour?
Or my bar is too high to achieve?
Wikipedia defines sense of humour as the ability to experience humour, although the extent to which an individual will find something humorous depends on a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence, and context.
For example, young children may possibly favour slapstick, such as Punch and Judy puppet shows or cartoons (e.g. Tom and Jerry). Satire may rely more on understanding the target of the humour, and thus tends to appeal to more mature audiences. Non-satirical humour can be specifically termed "recreational drollery".
----------------
I have a feeling my sense of humour deflects to satire....since I prefer humours involving the use of language. Especially manipulating the meaning into something entirely different.
Something like Dr. House....
"I was curious, and because I'm not a cat it's not dangerous."
Tritter: Merry Christmas!
House: and a Happy Go to Hell !
One final great House quote from "Histories."
Student (to House): "You're reading a book."
House: "And you're wearing a ridiculously low cut top. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought we were having a 'state the obvious' contest.' I'm competitive by nature."
House: "let go of my cane before it becomes your new boyfriend"
Cuddy: You're in denial!
House: No I'm not!!!!- Oh! You got me! (Cane & Able 2)
House: I am happy to anounce that we are so in sync that we're actually wearing each other's underwear! (Season 2)
Wilson: Just looking at you Hurts! I am ordering some extra pain meds.
House: I love you?
Cuddy: This is Dr House
Random guy: I've heard your name before
Dr. House: Most people have- its also a noun
Foreman: Isn't treating patients why we became doctors?
House: No, treating illnesses is why we became doctors. Treating patients is what makes most doctors miserable.
A few wise quotes from Dr. House:
"People choose the paths that grant them the greatest rewards for the least amount of effort."
"Perseverance does not equal worthiness."
"Bizarre is good! Common has hundreds of explanations. Bizarre has hardly any."
"Mistakes are as serious as the results they cause!"
Always loving his sarcasm~ =D
