    Arthur Schopenhauer lamented the misuse of the term “humour” (a German loanword from English) to mean any type of comedy. However, both “humour” and “comic” are often used when theorizing about the subject. The connotation of “humour” is more that of response, while “comic” refers more to stimulus. “Humour” also originally had a connotation of a combined ridiculousness and wit in one individual, the paradigm case being Shakespeare’s Sir John Falstaff. The French were slow to adopt the term “humour” and in French, “humeur” and “humour” are still two different words, the former still referring only to the archaic concept of humours.

    Western humour theory begins with Plato, who attributed to Socrates (as a semihistorical dialogue character) in the Philebus (p. 49b) the view that the essence of the ridiculous is an ignorance in the weak, who are thus unable to retaliate when ridiculed. Later, in Greek philosophy, Aristotle, in the Poetics (1449a, pp. 34–35), suggested that an ugliness that does not disgust is fundamental to humour.

    In ancient Sanskrit drama, Bharata Muni’s Natya Shastra defined humour (hāsyam) as one of the eight nava rasas, or principle rasas (emotional responses), which can be inspired in the audience by bhavas, the imitations of emotions that the actors perform. Each rasa was associated with a specific bhavas portrayed on stage. In the case of humour, it was associated with mirth (hasya).

    The terms “comedy” and “satire” became synonymous after Aristotle’s Poetics was translated into Arabic in the medieval Islamic world, where it was elaborated upon by Arabic writers and Islamic philosophers such as Abu Bischr, his pupil Al-Farabi, Avicenna, and Averroes. Due to cultural differences, they disassociated comedy from Greek dramatic representation, and instead identified it with Arabic poetic themes and forms, such as hija (satirical poetry). They viewed comedy as simply the “art of reprehension” and made no reference to light and cheerful events or troublous beginnings and happy endings associated with classical Greek comedy. After the Latin translations of the 12th century, the term “comedy” thus gained a new semantic meaning in Medieval literature.[3]

    The Incongruity Theory originated mostly with Kant, who claimed that the comic is an expectation that comes to nothing. Henri Bergson attempted to perfect incongruity by reducing it to the “living” and “mechanical”.[4]

    Humour. FIRST!!!! posts dont have it…

    Dear Mr. Ahmadickahahd
    It’s too bad your reality substitute, like a sugar substitute, doesn’t have health issues for you, alone. Unfortunately, it’s everyone else who has the possible carcinogen properties and ‘aftertaste’.

    I bet alot of problems could be solved if we sent Adam, Jamie and most importantly of all, Buster over there.
    Jamie: So Mahmoud, are you hiding any WMD’s around?
    Mahmoud: Oh no sir, I…
    *Adam, carrying Buster under one arm and a rope under the other walks in*
    Adam: Why bother asking him? If it explodes, I’ll find it….Then I’ll tie Buster up to it, set it off, and call it SCIENCE!

    Everyone lives in his own reality; to live in someone else’s would be insane if it were even possible.
