Humour Dictionary
Observational humour is based on comments
about everyday life.Comedians who use this
type of humour often start by saying,"Have
you ever noticed how...?"Then,they make
funny comments about everyday things such as
work,marriage,children,etc.This trend began
in the 1970s with US comedians such as Bill
Cosby and Jay Leno.
Slapstick humour is very physical.It
involves characters falling down,hitting people
or crashing into things.This type of comedy is
very common in cartoons such as Tom and
Jerry,Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.Typical
6
comedians,such as Laurel,Hardy (from The
Three Stooges),Charlie Chaplin,Rowan Atkinson
are people's favorites.
Self-deprecating humour involves making
jokes about yourself or drawing attention to
your faults.George Costanza from the comedy
series Seinfeld uses a lot of self-deprecating
humour,often making jokes about his lack of
hair,his weight and his shallow personality.
Comedians such as Chris Farley,Conan O'Brien,
David Letterman and Woody Allen also use
self-deprecating comedy.
Toilet humour often focuses on the noises
and functions of the body.It's often viewed as
rude,impolite and childish,although many
people find it very funny.There's a hilarious
(可笑的)scene involving toilet humour in the
film Along Came Polly.Reuben (Ben Stiller)
is invited back to Polly's apartment (Jennifer
Aniston).After dinner,Reuben accidentally
blocks the toilet.In an attempt to unblock it,
he uses her hand-embroidered towel (a gift
from her grandmother)and an expensive loofah
(丝瓜络).Eventually,the toilet overflows,.
leaving Reuben with no option but to leave.
1.What kind of humour is about comments on
everyday things?
A.Self-deprecating humour.
B.Slapstick humour.
C.Observational humour.
D.Toilet humour.
2.Which of the following belongs to self-
deprecating humour?
A.George often teased himself about his
bald head.
B.Bill Cosby often made funny comments
on children.
C.Laurel often fell down on stage,and
broke the microphone.
D.Tom made a thundering noise when he
went to the toilet.

of the following will you go to see?
A.Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
B.Tom and Jerry.
C.The Three Stooges.
D.Along Came Polly.

Telling jokes requires intelligence,creativity,
imagination and the ability to tell a story,while
listening to jokes is more passive behaviour
but one that demands attention,intelligence
and being in the right mood in order to enjoy
jokes.Besides,there are also clear similarities
between joke tellers and appreciators.A new
study takes this further and tries to find other
connections between creating humour and
appreciating humour.
The author carried on the cartoon caption
(字幕)task.l59 participants were shown
more than 30 cartoons without captions and
were asked to come up with a funny caption for
each one of them.Later,independent judges
classified those captions based on how funny
they were.
The results showed that those who produced
the funniest captions also produced more
captions overall.What was more interesting was
that creating funny captions was negatively
related to appreciation of humour.In other
words,funny people tend to find jokes less
funny than other people do.It is not clear why
this is the case,but it might be because creators
of great humour have higher standards of
humour creativity and expect higher levels of
creativity from people who tell jokes,compared

terrible and rude while the man behaved so
gently and kindly.How I wished that there
was a hole on the plane where I could hide.
"How do I face the man in the following
38
hours?How careless and foolish to consider
him a thief?I owe him a sincere apology,"I
thought.
More awkward,I noticed the man sitting
beside me.Guessing something from the look
on my face,he just smiled gently.After a short
communication,I was surprised to find that
the gentleman had the same workplace as mine
in London.I sincerely apologized for mistaking
that he took my cookies.Seeing my embarrassment
and nervousness,he just said,"Never mind.
It's my pleasure to share cookies with a pretty
lady.”“What a coincidence!What an unforgivable
mistake!”I thought..
