HUMOUR: or humor (see spelling differences) is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. Many theories exist about what humour is and what social function it serves. People of all ages and cultures respond to humour. The majority of people are able to be amused, to laugh or smile at something funny and thus they are considered to have a "sense of humour".
The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which stated that a mix of fluids known as humours (Greek: χυμός, chymos, literally juice or sap, metaphorically, flavour) controlled human health and emotion.
A sense of humour is the ability to experience humour, although the extent to which an individual will find something humorous depends on a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence and context. For example, young children may favour slapstick, such as Punch and Judy puppet shows or cartoons such as Tom and Jerry. Satire may rely more on understanding the target of the humour and thus tends to appeal to more mature audiences. Nonsatirical humour can be specifically termed "recreational drollery".
As with any form of art, acceptance depends on social demographics and varies from person to person. Throughout history, comedy has been used as a form of entertainment all over the world, whether in the courts of the Western kings or the villages of the Far East. Both a social etiquette and a certain intelligence can be displayed through forms of wit and sarcasm. Eighteenth-century German author Georg Lichtenberg said that "the more you know humour, the more you become demanding in fineness."
Alastair Clarke explains: "The theory is an evolutionary and cognitive explanation of how and why any individual finds anything funny. Effectively, it explains that humour occurs when the brain recognizes a pattern that surprises it, and that recognition of this sort is rewarded with the experience of the humorous response, an element of which is broadcast as laughter." The theory further identifies the importance of pattern recognition in human evolution: "An ability to recognize patterns instantly and unconsciously has proved a fundamental weapon in the cognitive arsenal of human beings. The humorous reward has encouraged the development of such faculties, leading to the unique perceptual and intellectual abilities of our species".

HUMORISMO: está comprobado que los estados de ánimo influyen de manera muy positiva en la salud de las personas, aun en las personas que se encuentran en estados terminales.
El sentido del humor es la capacidad de estimular el sentido de gracia en los demás. Hay formas de causar gracia, convirtiendo acciones que habitualmente carecen de sentido humorístico, asociándolas con acciones que alguna vez han despertado risa. Así también podemos asociar una acción con otra; esta última con un sentido poco usual o raro, incluso con acciones que a menudo no se dan porque sí. La comparación del suceso con la nueva acción, permite comparar a seres humanos con animales, o viceversa, comparar personas de una posición social alta con una menos desafortunada, y así sucesivamente. Un ejemplo: "Tenía tanta hambre que comí tanto, que me inflé como un balón, y casi reventé" "Hay personas que tienen la educación de un perro comiendo su propio v...." "Me hallaba tan desesperadamente alegre, que faltaba que me salieran chispas y cohetes por las orejas!" "Estaba muy triste por la muerte de mi amigo, pero aún así, no me gustaría ver al muerto salir de su tumba!"

HUMOR: o humor é determinado essencialmente pela personalidade de quem ri. Por isso, pode-se pensar que o humor não ultrapassa o campo do jogo ou os limites imediatos da sanção moral ou social, mas este pode subir mais alto e atingir os domínios da compreensão filosófica, logo que o emissor penetre em regiões mais profundas, no que há de íntimo na natureza humana, no mistério do psíquico, na complexidade da consciência, no significado espiritual do mundo que o rodeia. Pode-se, assim, concluir que o humor é a mais subjectiva categoria do cómico e a mais individual, pela coragem e elevação que pressupõe.
Aqueles que exageram no brincar tornam-se inoportunos, por querer fazer rir constantemente, ao invés tentar não dizer algo imoral e mesmo agressivo para com aqueles a quem a brincadeira é dirigida. O humor pode também ser um vício por ausência deste. Aqueles que carecem de humor, irritam-se com os que o usam e tornam-se frios e distantes, não deixando a sua alma repousar pelo uso do humor. Como no meio é que está a virtude, aqueles que usam convenientemente o humor, têm a capacidade de converter as coisas que se dizem ou fazem em riso.
