Freud once famously said, "A cigar may just be a cigar, but a joke is never just a joke.".  For example, an older person who laughs and tells jokes about dementia and deafness may be unaware of his underlying anxiety over such things.  Laughing and joking about getting older may be a way to release pent up anxiety and therefore it is a good thing to have a sense of humor about all aspects of life--good and bad.  (Do people who constantly tell racist, sexist, ethnic, etc. jokes have anxiety about being over run by others?  Natch). 

Life is full of absurdities and farces, if we can't see them for what they are and make light of them then we could certainly drive ourselves quite mad.  Some people think they are above having a sense of humor or joking about anything because it demeans their awesome intellect; they see a sense of humor as being childlike and irrational (we really must pity these poor souls--such as Ersi). 

IF there were a God, he would have to have the greatest sense of humor ever!  He would likely come up to me and say "Gotcha!", and then sit down with me and have a few laughs about it all while we chased a few Tequila shooters with beer.

Hard to classify all joking in one context. Surely a joke can be just a joke, or childish or spot on. A bit unfair to exclude someone because their humor doesn't resonate well with you.

In any case you're reaching beyond your own advice. Smile :)

Regardless of their intent it's only demeaning to you if you take it that way, at first. Humor is no different. I can't fault someone for laughing at slapstick antics even if the source is me busting my ass and I am not amused. By the same regard you can't fault me if I'm not amused. Continuing to jeer on after the reaction wouldn't be humor anymore despite any joy derived. So really, if we're going Freudian, seems insecurities are to blame.

First of all, most humor (from slapstick to sarcasm), resonates with me.  I was merely referring to people who lead humorless lives and are quite austere with every aspect of life.  One who takes this life (with all it's twists and quirks), too seriously misses out on much of what life is about.  If life can't be enjoyed and shared with others in a cheerful manner for the brief time we are sentient in this universe then I believe one has wasted much of that one and only brief moment.  Life is fleeting--then it is over and there is no more...(no joke).

You just tripped over the point, cut a flip over drastic generalization and fell face first into the obvious. I am not amused in the slightest. How you take that and how you feel about these "people" are up to you.

Seems to be your thing. As is irrational emotional response. You can choose to be amused, indifferent or hurt by what I said... So, you've retreated to defensive simply because I disagree.

Presuming I care about your amusement when you have no regard for mine (But do ersi's?):

If you're not done bellyaching? You can go on to point out just what these people are missing from your melancholy view on the meaning of life.

It was hardly an irrational response, it was completely warranted by the smart ass remark you made.  If you can't take it then don't dish it out sir.  Btw, I believe I was being quite offensive and certainly not 'defensive'.

Melancholy???  Are you daft...I celebrate life everyday.  Being alive is the luckiest thing that can happen to anyone, but few appreciate the opportunity.  I haven't always realized what I had in being alive, thank goodness I realized it in time to enjoy the better part of my existence.  As far as the meaning of life is concerned, isn't it rather obvious that it is simply what each of us chooses it to be.

Yeah /s. your ability for situational understanding is what's in question.

Being alive is the luckiest thing that can happen to anyone, but few appreciate the opportunity.

Few appreciate the opportunity? That's an over generalization. You have nothing to back that up.

But really, crying time is over. I'm not insulted by your remarks. If you want to make a valid point about why people who don't subscribe to your idea of humor are not living life to its fullest... Please do so.   

Edit:(On a side note; I find it amusing this started as someone insulting your intelligence but now you wish you could insult mine.)

Some people think they are above having a sense of humor or joking about anything because it demeans their awesome intellect; they see a sense of humor as being childlike and irrational (we really must pity these poor souls--such as Ersi). 

You are right in that you are demeaning my awesome intellect by being way too far below it, but you are wrong in thinking that I have no sense of humour about it. If your aim was to make a joke that would resonate with anyone, or ridicule me so that someone would get laugh, you failed. Try again, and try harder. Humour must be practised seriously if it is to succeed.

I have no apologies for shining the light of my awesome intellect to the world. The bright sparkling pearls of my wisdom are making this a better place. You only draw from me and you contribute nothing of your own. You are not able to refute even a word of mine. My shoelaces have a broader experience of life than you have. The hair of my beard is more learned than you are. Do you even have a beard?

It's because of my intellect alone that the average IQ here in these forums is 246. You miserly mortal, you think you are something, but you are only basking in the light and warmth of my glory. Don't even for a minute think that your ingratitude affects me in any way. I don't need anything from you. Be thankful to merciful Allah for your remaining breathing hours here and make a good use of the sense of humour He gave you, if you haven't already completely squandered it, you earthworm.

Lol...you are a riot Ersi (and yes, I love it)!  That's an awful lot of ranting and raving for you to spout and then proclaim that I have no effect on you.  I believe that more than anything, you know that I have struck a chord of 'the way things truly are' with you and it pisses you off to no end.  Your castle of intellect is crumbling around you and you can't stop it because there is no way to hide from the truth. 

There is no more after this and if you can't have a sense of humor about it, then your life Ersi, with all that imagined intellect of yours, will be greatly diminished from what it could be.  By declaring that you are of superior intellect, simply proves that you are not.  If you are going to pretend for the rest of your days then you are much worse off than I imagined. 

I already have the answer for all you seek.  It's not so much that I found it or invented it as it is that, what I have always believed, has now been irrefutably proven to be true.  You could never grasp the concepts of which I speak because your immense ego absolutely does not allow you to admit error.  And that's the real shame of Don 'Ersi' Quixote who will go on tilting at windmills to his dying day.

And here is an irrational emotional response. ersi and I aren't in league against you because we don't agree with whatever you're saying. Agreeing with him hasn't been a habit of mine, like lame posts are one of yours.

Although after rereading this I would word it a bit different, I may of went too far in making the point... even the joke at the end may be spot on. Humor is many different things. The same circumstances can be funny to some while not others or eventually even wear out and not be funny to anyone anymore. Missing that along with the fact you've really failed to be funny in a humor thread is telling enough without me.
