Definition of humor
• Humor is defined as "the
mental faculty of
discovering, expressing
or appreciating the
ludicrous or absurdly
incongruous".
Definition of humor
• Ludicrous is an adjective
meaning amusing or
laughable through obvious
absurdity, incongruity,
exaggeration or eccentricity.
What is incongruous? It is
something lacking congruity,
inconsistent within itself.
Definition of humor
• Doctor Jarvis was a
professional public speaker
who focused on humor, and
he defined it in two ways.
One, humor is a painful thing
told playfully. Two, humor is a
tragedy separated by time
and space.
Definition of wit
• Wit is defined as, "the
power to evoke laughter by
remarks showing verbal
felicity or ingenuity and
swift perception, especially
of the incongruous".
Definition of wit
• Synonymous with wit are,
humor, irony, sarcasm, satire
and repartee, which are all
modes of expression intended
to arouse amusement. But there
is another element to wit which
Dr. Jarvis explains by saying,
"Wit punctures, humor
pictures."
Definition of wit
• A person with wit delivers
witticisms which are defined
as cleverly witty and often
biting or ironic remarks with
the ability to relate seemingly
disparate things so as to
illuminate or amuse.
Difference between humor, wit, satire
and farce
• In its narrower sense, humor is
distinguished from wit, satire, and
farce. It is less intellectual and more
imaginative than wit, being
concerned more with character and
situation than with plays upon
words or upon ideas; more
sympathetic and less cruel than
satire; more subtle than farce.
Who should use humor?
• Anyone whose job it is to
communicate to groups of
individuals, to share
information or to motivate,
could use humor to invigorate
their message and improve
the reception of their
audience.
If deep, deep down, you know that you are a
klutz when it comes to delivering the punch
line, if you can't seem to get jokes right, then
consider carefully your decision to use
humor.
