What is HUMOUR? How can we  define it?

 If you are ready to reach perfection, just practice and answer                                                           the following QUESTIONS!
( Answers will come out in a couple of weeks, so don't wait too much...!!)

We can refer to the amusing things people say or do as their humour.
If something has humour , it is funny and makes you laugh.
It can be found in a situation ( in a person’s behaviour , in different events creating an unexpected and funny outcome) or  in language / speech devices  ( tone, word selection, phrasing,etc) . Or in a combination of both.

Humour can be seen  as a form of detachment from a certain reality seen through a  subjective, sometimes critical  but always in a cheerful way. It may  intend to provide a new vision of the reality  focussed on.

We clearly see the effects produced by humour when used.
But it is interesting to wonder at the purposes it serves ( especially in common situations or in a literary work).

1.Write the corresponding adjective :
 funny - ridiculous - amusing - witty - silly

a) amusing in a clever way
 b)strange,surprising or puzzling
c) foolish , stupid or childish
 d)very foolish or  being made fun of
e) entertaining or making you laugh or  smile

2. Among these adjectives , pick   two  which could best  refer to   « humorous » ?

3. When an actor, a novel, a film  makes people laugh, which adjective ( not previouly mentioned ) do we commonly  use to indicate a type of actor, novel or film ?

4. Which type of entertainment  is intended to make people laugh ?

* What does the adj. « tragic » refer to ?
* What is a tragedy ?

5. What is the effect produced by a combination of tragic elements and humour ? What purposes can it serve ?

6. Is humour your cup of tea?

    2)
    Funny and amusing seem to me to be the ones most related to “humorous

    3)
    Comical


    4)
    *please define “kind of entertainement”*

    Something tragic is something sad, that induces sorrow and involves suffering.


    A tragedy is a theatrical genre with many rules that I am way too lazy to list, and by extension an art genre following those rules


    5)
    this combination can be for the sake of having a richer story (more different tones), and/or, sometimes, humour can relieve the tension induced by a tragic narrative.


    6)
    While not great at it, I usually really enjoy humour, especially clever, far-fetched humour and humour induced by repetition.

  2. 1. a) Witty
    b) funny
    c) silly
    d) riduculous
    e) amusing

    2. I think, the two adjactives wich could best refer to ' humorous ' are amusing and witty.

    3. We generally use the adjactive ' comical ' or ' humoristic ' when we talk about actors or novels which make people laugh.

    4. To my opinion, tragic refers to bad events with death for most of the time and a kind of suffering. A tragedy is generally a drama wich the story is link with a death and sad events. This kind of drama intends to feel pity for spectators (catharsis). There are some famous tragedy like ' Romeo and Juliet' of Shakespeare or 'Phedre' of Racine.

    5. To my opinion, the effect produced by a combination of tragic and comical elements is strange because some people can misunderstand the humour and create conflicts in the society. However, this combination can serve to denounce tragic events and the world with hindsight and an optimistic view if this humour is witty.

    6. Humour is definitely my cup of tea but we have to use this process in spécial situation. Today, we have to be funny and to enjoy our life because we don't know what our destiny is. Humour can be powerful because by that, we can deliver strong messages to share or defend our opinion. Humour has to be limited, some expressions have not to be in a democracy.

  3. 1 a) witty
    b) amusing
    c) silly
    d) ridiculous
    e) funny

    2) amusing and witty

    3) comic

    4) Slapstick or burlesque comedies are intended to make the audience laugh, but some movies, some theatre plays, musicals or comics can make us laugh too. Shakespeare included chase scenes and beating scenes in his plays for the audience to be entertained. The audience had to weep and laugh.
    Tragic refers to tragedies, dreadful situations or events occurring to the characters of the novel, the actors of the movie, of the play. It can be death, separation of lovers…
    A tragedy is often inspired by mythology, it shows terror, pity, passions and the catastrophes provoked by these passions.

    5) A combination of tragic elements and humor is a tragicomedy. There are elements of tragedy in the plays which end up happily for some of the characters. It is used for the audience to live different passions, to have its feelings evolve during the play or the reading of the book.

    6) I like humour, I like being entertained, I do like it when I meet people who are detached from reality, when they do not react as expected: when they see the funny side of life instead of weeping or criticizing.

  4. 1: a) witty,
    b) amusing
    c) silly
    d)ridiculous
    e) funny.

    2: ridiculous and funny.

    3: Comic

    4: I think the type of entertainment is comic strip,
    Tragic: it's a think that refer of sadness, treason and dead too.
    Tragedy: it is a story with a treason, with a many murders and it's a story with a moral, like "Macbeth" of Shakespeare.

    5: A combination humour and tragic can be great if the story is interesting and very many elements of humour. The tragicomedy can serve to flimsy the play's atmosphere.

    6: I think, yes humour is my cup of tea because I can laughing during a time without to think to anything.

    b) Funny
    c) Silly
    d) Ridiculous
    e) Amusing

    2. Two adjectives that could refer to "humourous" are, for me, amusing and witty because humour is made to laugh but it's better in a clever way

    3. To indicate a type of actor or a film, we often use 'comical' and sometimes 'humoristic'

    4. Tragic refers to sad and serious topics and makes us feel strong feelings
    A tragedy is a drama or literary work in which characters have to face tragic events and they often suffer. The end finishes with one or more deaths.
    But we can have comic and tragic in the same time, for exemple 'Le Cid' from Corneille with comic and sad scenes.

    5. A combination of tragic and comic can have different effects : first the story is not only on one tone, as Lucas said, then it can show in a different way the evolution (negative or positive) of the characters because they have to solve dilemmas that will influence the end (more comic or more tragic) and finally authors denounce reality with their own words. If it's a hard reality, they will often use tragic tone, but if we can laugh on it (like L'Avare from Molière) they will use comic tone, and sometimes they use both for a powerful effect.

    6. I really like humour, this makes me smile because there are many ways to 'do' it and it's always different. I like it in films, in litterature, from people. However, I prefer it in a clever way,with a reflexion because some situations can be laughed at, but only in a certain way : we have to know it's for fun or we won't understand or even be in conflict with the others.

    4) To my mind the adjective "tragic" refer to a sad or bad event, like a tragic dram in people's lives.
    A tragedy is usually a disastrous event, which involve a disastring loss or injure in life.
    It can also be tragedy in literature which is a written piece that consists of courageous characters who must confront really powerful obstacles.

    2) to me the 2 adjectives are witty and amusing.

    3) you can use the word "comic" or "comical" to qualify that.

    4) * the adj. "tragic" refer to 2 definitions, the first one is when is related to the tragedy on the theater and the last one is when an event is sad, terrible, dark which means suffering for those affected.
    * the tragedy is a theatrical genre that dates back to ancient Greek theater.

    5) to me, the mix of humour and tragedy refers to the satirical genre, as this will bring the audience to laugh at the situation as it is a critique of society. with self-derision, sad elements become comic elements.

    6) humour is definitely my cup of tea, i really love to joke around some things and laugh about silly things because we have to enjoy our life despit problems. but i don't always laugh to silly things, sometimes we can't laugh at all. it depends on what humour we talk about as if it was an attack on the person, it's a no because we must stop 'cause there are limits.

    To my point of view the effect produced by a combination of tragic elements and humour is an embarrassement laughter. Laugh about something tragic seem little weird. But it could also makes people forget the tragic element happened and after the'll talk about it easier, Humor allows to speak more easily about this kind of thing . With the humor people won't stay in a state of sadness.

    a) amusing in a clever way —> witty
    b)strange,surprising or puzzling —> funny
    c) foolish , stupid or childish —> silly
    d)very foolish or being made fun of —> ridiculous
    e) entertaining or making you laugh or smile —> amusing

    2) on the face of it funny and amusing should be the most relevant. But also ridiculous can correspond because some type of humour as parody can be ridiculous.

    3) Comic or humorous are usually used to define this kind of movies, books...

    4) _I can quote one man show or some cartoons which are created only for comical purpose.
    _Tragic only as an adjective it is define something sad, dramatic, something which make you suffer also…
    _ Tragedy is a term which refers to theatre or literature, in fact it is a gender which incorporate some particularities and was very popular in XVII th century.

    5) In my opinion the combination of these two characteristics can create black humour, this kind of humour use dramatic or sad stories but in a funny way. For exemple the french journal “Charlie Hebdo” is popular for his great black humour. Whereas this type of humour can be seriously dangerous and sometimes not funny at all, in my opinion we should be aware of the consequences of the use of this humour and probably in a certain way avoid it.
    In literature or cinematography it is called “tragicomedy” his purpose is to make story more balanced and interesting to read, it serves to avoid the “too much” effect.

    6) I really like humour, jokes and funny lifestyle. I can joke with my friends, my family but also my teachers (shameful). I think there is nothing bad in have a great humour and use with everyone, because first of all its purpose is to make people laugh! And without laugh we cannot be really happy. :)

    2.In my point of view, witty and amusing are two adjectives could best refer to " humorous" because humour is made to laugh in an objective way.

    3. We commonly use the adjective comical.

    4. Most of the time, burlesque and light entertainments are intended to make people laugh especially in TV program. We can note there is more and more TV shows intend to make laugh by means of not very serious involves things such as singing, dancing, telling jokes sometimes by forgetting the clever way...
    The theater can be mentioned when it's about a comedy, of course.
    The adjective tragic refers to the deathly human condition because it calls to mind gloomy and sorrowful events. A tragedy is a drama whose purpose is the death, we already know it. This kind of drama invites the spectators to be affect by pity.

    5. The combination of tragic elements and humour create suspens and tension.We don't have any idea about the purpose of the story. So throughout the story we stand at attention and we try to pick up informations which seem to be important that will allow us to find out if the purpose is comical or not. The comedy-drama uses elements of comedy to dramatics ends.

    6. Of course, humour is my cup of tea. I think it is very important to know laugh and to know how to make laugh. Because humour in its form unify (its contents can be divided) and make people feel fine. With humour we can say what we didn't want to say a frank way, in fact some things goes better with humour...

    A tragedy is a dramatic work often used in the theater where the shares have a passionate nature and usually ends badly.

    5) This creates black humor. Effect is different for people : the sensitivity and moral sense determine whether or not we like this kind of humor. Indeed the ethical reason can be evoked. It serve to denounce the absurdity of the world in a cruel and cynical way.

    6) Obviously I like humor. This may be the burlesque or black humor. I'm not very dificult whith the type of humor used. The humor accompanies us all the time and the little things in life : see someone tripping (I know it's bad...) or during discussions where there is a misunderstanding, both always make me laugh.

    b) Funny
    c) Silly
    d) Ridiculous
    e) Amusing

    2) As far as i'm concerned i think that funny and witty could best refer to "humorous"

    3) We commonly use the adjective "comical" when an actor, a novel, a film makes people laugh.

    4) A TV show, a one man show, some movies, a book, a play are intended to make the audience laugh.

    The adjective "tragic" can define a bad event, when something bad happen to you. This adjective haves a connotation negative.

    A tragedy is a theatrical gender, where people have a bad destiny, and most of the time they die at the end of the play.

    5) It can be a sort of black humor, it can make us laugh or shock us. People can take a distance about horrible things like death for exemple. This kind of combination show that we can laugh about everything.
