How Humor attacks
Humor is just around us in our daily lives. A sudden slip on a banana peel, a wrong fall in a swimming pool or a piece of cake patched on face, at times, movie magic of humor do take place in real lives. A joke, anecdote, pet humor or a toddler dozing off to sleep at breakfast-table, brings a bag of laughs and bundles of happiness.
Humor is understood by an infant, child, youngsters, adults, and elderly people without any difference of opinion. Cartoon network "Tom and Jerry" show written by Fred Quimby is a great comedy for all ages and still running successfully around the globe.
Modern day humor is exhaustive as it has taken various forms and fields. viz., kinds of humor is as follows:
1. Political humor: The wrangling between political leaders, representing their leadership in caricatures by their quotes. 2. Movie humor: Well administered movie humor is a great entertainer for all those who experience heavy toll of work load and also for family goers. e.g. "Father of Bride" cast: Steve Martin as a bride's father, and "Home Alone" were family entertainers. 3. Real life humor: (a) daily personal life (b) corporate.
"Laughter is the best medicine" is a proven maxim for all sort of mental fatigue. Real life humor is sometimes very ironical and sarcastic whether it is reasonable to laugh at one's own self. For example. After a warm shower, searching for pyjamas or a nightdress in a wardrobe, is both a serious situation as well as a great test for patience, for those who went through a hard working day. It is also quite hilarious to watch someone searching for clothes, and the entire family is discussing only one particular issue until it is resolved. At times, a situation is encountered, where it appears as a comic and it is not good enough to laugh, as it may annoy the person who is the head of a situation. Controlling laugh is a difficult and serious situation and even sometimes harder than any other task.
The purpose and importance of humor is that it provides a sigh of relief and relaxes the mind. The stressful hours of working eases the soul and spirit, when a person encounters humor either in movies or in real life. It is good to laugh at least for five minutes once in a day, through some media of humor viz., books, television, movies and children.
It is quite natural to come across various kinds of people, who enjoy humor in a particular style and manner. For example. Some carry noisy-laugh wherever their presence goes. They enjoy humor by pulling or shaking the person beside them and bringing that person entirely to the ground very conveniently.
In the above situation, spectators have two reasons to join the bandwagon of laugh. (1) For a noisy-laugh (2) for the person who is on the ground.
Every day issues beginning from dental-brush till the time of sleep, humor knocks either knowingly or unknowingly. On a busy day in office, tea/coffee gets cold, or pen is lying without a cap, or confronted with a nagging customer, these situations are prone to cause anger within. On the brighter side, they develop humor and leaves the person hesitant to laugh at one's own self.
Kinds of laugh
[a] Some people laugh, putting their hand against mouth in order to control laugh or as a code of demeanor.
[b] Some, open mouth wide and laugh without even noticing that it distracts the attention of others.
[c] Giggle: These people fear that they go noticed by others and as a code of excellent manners, even for extremes of comic, they still giggle.
Humor legends Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy carved a unique style in humor, leaving the audience for a choice. Their style of creating humor was simple and in everyday life situations. For example. Charlie visits to a bakery to order for a cake, and the owner does not take the order. So Charlie pours a bowl full of flour on his head and bakery-owner is in hunt for Charlie.
Contemporary, Hollywood star Jim carry [nick named as "human chewing-gum"] movies carry heavy doze of humor, viz., "The Mask", "Cable Guy" that is made possible only with him to make audience laugh and bring them to the ground.
A great comedy of "Mr.Bean" is another excellent example for humor, which does not need parental guidance for children. His humor fills vacuum of laugh to a whole extent.
In the recent times, most television channels prominently "pogo" telecasts a popular show called "Just for laughs Gags" in which ordinary passers-by are caught by media personnel for a particular comedy creation. For example. In a super-mar, credit and debit card machine for billing does not work [just as a scene] or they are asked to hold an old-lady armed in wheel-chair, and after few moments later, when customers unknowingly encounter, media will inform that it is for a TV show which results in heavy doze of laughter for all.
Humor is necessary to energise, liven-up the spirits and to enjoy everyday life. A famous quote "When money talks, nobody pays attention to the grammar". So also, "when humor talks, no barrier on linguistics or demographies.
Finally to conclude :
A cardiologist visited a car mechanic to repair his broke-down car. The following is the conversation between them:
Car mechanic: Hello doctor! you're here to get repaired your car. I wonder about my poor earnings as a mechanic, when both of us involved in repair jobs.
Cardiologist: You try to repair the car, when the car-engine is on.
