Humor method

Humor is a sign of active thinking of civilized people. Engels said: "Humor is a manifestation of wisdom, education and moral superiority." Implicit and powerful, it makes people memorable and can be inspired by wisdom. This is humor.

Humor comes from real life, and its formation methods are varied. The author has collected a lot of humor, and now summarizes the following common methods.

I. * Word disambiguation *

Many words are ambiguous. In a specific language environment, a word generally has only one definite meaning. If the meaning is deliberately blurred, it will form a contrast of meaning and a sense of humor will come out. A sentence often has multiple logical points, and the speaker and the listener understand different points respectively, which will also form a humorous contrast.

A Niu did poorly in math. In order to cultivate his mathematical cells, the teacher quoted an example from life as a guide: "A Niu, if your brother has five apples, you took three," the teacher gestured with his hand. "What will happen?" A Niu blurted out: "He will definitely beat me up!"

The teacher said, "What will happen?" According to the above, the meaning is clear: there are 2 apples left. However, A Niu's understanding of the "result" refers to the consequences caused by the act of taking away the apple, and the irony of A Niu's answer lies in the ambiguity of the word "result".

English teacher: Change "My brother went to school" into the future tense. Student: My brother's children go to school.

The students' hilarious answer is to disambiguate the "future tense" skillfully and interpret it as a specific future time, thus leading to "brother's child", which is in contrast with the teacher's request for understanding.

Why does the rooster lift one foot in the morning?

B: Because if you lift your feet, it will fall!

B's answer takes advantage of the shift of the logical center of gravity of the sentence. A's problem is to ask for an answer to the phenomenon that the cock lifts its foot, but B skillfully shifts the logical focus from the phenomenon of "lifting its foot" to "one foot". The disharmony between the two is the result of ambiguity.

2. Suspense setting method

Suspense is to keep people's appetite. With people anxious to know, the results are not in line with expectations, but more unexpected and full of humor.

In painting class, a student handed in a blank sheet of paper. The teacher asked, "What did you draw?" The student answered unhurriedly: "The picture shows cows eating grass. The grass was eaten by the cow, and then the cow ran away. "

The teacher's question helped us set a suspense, hoping to have a reasonable explanation, and a student's answer was really unexpected and "reasonable", so we had to let people spray.

When I got home, my father asked, "Who is the laziest in your class?"

Tom said, "I don't know."

The father held back his anger: "Who are you when all the students are immersed in the problem?"

Tom confidently replied, "It's a teacher."

Everyone knows that the father's purpose is to prevent Tom from being under pressure. "Who are you?" There is no suspense in the question, Tom's answer is unexpected, and the answer is the truth. This unexpected contrast with the facts made my father laugh and cry, but we laughed.

Third, the relative method of contending.

When aggression and aggression are implied in the other person's speech, the respondent can skillfully use his own advantages, or seize the weaknesses and loopholes of the other person's language, and the linguistic tension of fighting poison with poison can produce humorous effects.
