Humor

Course Instructions : This Course is to be read with a serious, dry tone. Monotone is best.

I found the Algorithm for humor. I finally know why a certain someone is so funny to me and also, why he also struggles making others laugh.

Humor is Logic and Math. Pure, perfect Logic and Math that aligns with Unpredictable Mathematical Deliverance that is always relatable to the one who perceives it is funny while also contradicting the expected Ethics.

It isn’t “timing.”

It us luring the mind into a predictable Logical/Mathematical trajection and then implementing a bait-n-switch.

Comedians are Verbal Magicians. They use Red Herrings, counting on your Subconscious Mind to weave it’s own Conclusions of Comprehension just before they Switch the Expected/Familiar with the Unexpected and often… Literally Logical presented as Absurd.

*Darkly* And in knowing this you will never know humor again. Probably not. It’s not exactly like a Magician’s Secret. “Magic” is really Illusion without Comprehension and depends on Ignorance of the Viewer to work. Comedy is Unpredictable following Anticipated or Wonderment and depends on Predictable Logical Deduction of the Listener to work.

How humor contradicts Predictable Logical Deduction will change based on Education levels in the audience, Region/Culture, and Ethics as these are the determining factors of Propriety.

1. Being Honest about situations where people are expected to lie. Logical Trajection.
2. Saying/Doing the opposite/unexpected than what is expected. False Mathematical Trajection.
3. Meaning one thing when implying another (Misunderstanding). Logical Trajection.

All of which only works if and only if the audience’s Ethics are aligned with the Joke — as in, they are expecting X, but get Y.

X is only determined by the Predictable Logical Deduction set by their Region/Culture, Education Levels, and Ethics.

According to my definitions of Mastery, a Master is one who can consciously Reverse Engineer their comprehension of a Vocation.

So I am officially funny now.

Humor is Subjective.

Which means trying to be funny is about as futile as an artist trying to be deep.

Thus Humor is Art.

I did not see this coming.

Like a surprise twist in the end.

Apparently, this means Humor itself… has a sense of Humor.

I am not amused.

And — Oh, this is amazing. Elegant, even. — The Comedian can never laugh at their own jokes.

*pauses dryly*

For if they laugh, they are — by default — an ass.

But The Comedian only knows if they are funny in relativity to others perceiving The Comedian as funny. So the Comedian will never know he is — in subjectiveness and never fact — funny unless he has an audience to accompany his joke.

Only then is it safe to laugh at your own joke… but not too much. Unless you are your only audience — and you may be and often — which is why you never see a good Comedian laugh.

For this reason, The Comedian must never laugh. Which is in itself… funny. But only to those who find irony amusing. It may be logical for the best of Comedians to cry while they tell their jokes… for emphasis. At least, the Comedian must appear bored on stage. Or angry. They cannot have a good time.

Oh… Oh yes… I may have a new passion. Not being funny. This way, I am guaranteed to succeed or fail. Either way, I will feel good about it.

And it makes my humor unique. Which isn’t humor at all. Because I’m not trying to be funny.
