Bad Comedians

The lesson of the last week was about comedians that make “bad humour”. I always found very interesting studying humour theories and of what kind of things make us laugh. I consider the study of humour one of the best ways to understand the human mind. What kind of things we laugh about? Is it difficult understand to so general question. Sometimes it depends of the culture (for example, English humour is sometimes not very well understood in another European countries). But in general terms we make jokes about defects of other people. However, we have to be careful if we do not want to offend people with jokes (certain jokes about nationalities, races or religions are inadmissible in our current society). But, if I have to choose the best kind of humour I probably would chosen satire. In satire we can make jokes about politicians and people of the circles of power. In this sense, I agrre completly with Mc Donald when he said that satire is a sympton of democratic health in a country. We can see some examples of satiric humour here.
