Negative Humor

Negative humor may include sarcasm, put-downs and hurtful remarks. Any humor involving sarcasm that make fun of others is in poor taste. Any injury is forgiven more easily that an insult.


"When someone blushes with embarrassment, when someone carries away an ache, when something sacred is made to appear common, when someone's weakness provides the laughter, when profanity is required to make it funny, when a child is brought to tears or when everyone can't join in the laughter, it's a poor joke."
- Cliff Thomas


To a sadist everything is funny, so long as it is happening to someone else. it is not an uncommon sight to see boys throwing stones at frogs just to have fun.The boy's fun means death to the frogs. It is not fun for the frogs.

Humor can be valuable or dangerous, dependable on whether you are laughing with someone or at someone.When humor involves making fun of or ridiculing others, it is not in good taste not is it innocent.Hurting other's feeling can be cruel.Some people get their fun by putting others down. Sarcasm alienated people. It is a good idea to avoid sarcastic humor and keep it 'low-risk'.

well i actually experienced it very recently.....
therez preety much difference b/w laughin with ur frndz and laughin at ur frndz....
may b ppl do it widout ny reason or may b they don't wana hurt u, its just for fun
bt u know wat,, it actually hurts alot when ur d guinea pig
i believe humor z always good
laughin z d best medicine after all....
bt it shd b in limits
coz a joke which hurt someone's feeling z actually not funny.
so lets laugh together instead of laughing at each other,its much more fun..... BELIEVE ME
