What is funny is relative and judging by how the Oscars went down with Will Smith landing a slap on Chris Rock, this only confirmed my intuition all along. It's easier to enjoy a joke when it's not at your expense but when the joke is being made on you and about you, it's easier not to find the funny side of it. How funny a joke is depends on how the audience receives it.

#### What do you consider funny? 

What I consider funny are the jokes that don't dehumanize another human being. Anything can be funny but when it starts touching sensitive subjects that make another person feel less of a human, I don't take it because I wouldn't want to be at the receiving end of such too just to humour others.

What I consider funny can be the state of our country, the funny events that happened which no one saw coming. Our government telling us a snake swallowed millions of dollars would always be humourous to me.

#### Should humour have limits?

I believe it should. We don't have to put people down because we want to cash in on our traits. There should be a place to draw the line and also I think it depends on knowing if the person can take it or not. There are some you would joke about their sensitive issues and they would laugh because they have come to terms with it and they are at a point where it doesn't even bother them anymore. Not everyone is like that which is why we need to tread softly.

#### What kind of humour do you like? 

I love any kind of humour especially if it doesn't make fun of the physical struggles or mental struggles of others. If it's about one stupid act another person did without thought, I am up for it. If it is about creative thinking, I am up for it but not anything that makes another human being feel less based on their mental and physical state.

I would want everyone to read @zeraton's post which was titled [Laugh until you cry and cry until you laugh: Life is much better this way](https://hive.blog/hive-168869/@zeraton/laugh-until-you-cry-and-cry-until-you-laugh-life-is-much-better-this-way). This is the kind of humour that gets my attention, the kind that I appreciate without anyone being hurt. It's a long text and I can't quote it all but this is the part for me:

>"Ehh... Please, who are all these people disturbing me on my browser? Who is this girl and how does she know my location?" My grandpa beckoned.

Grandpa was confused as to why there was an ad from a site saying a lady is waiting to see him. 

>And some of the ads were things like:
"You won't last 5 minutes playing this game"
"Mature Becky is nearby and wants to meet with you"
"Watch more hot videos on Brazzers"
"Becky is just 6km away from you."

That post was funny and reading it alone I couldn't stop laughing either. Who wouldn't? This is the kind of humour I love based on someone's unsuspecting actions or prying on their ignorance to rub it in a little. This is humour to me and not the one that makes fun of those living with either physical or mental struggles.

Cheers.

Gingered Up! ❣️
