True or False: The More Intelligent A Person Is, The Harder It Is To Humor Them/Make Them Laugh

[TEH]

Humor depends on the person and the situation not just on intelligence.

 

[TMBlue]

Intelligent people find "dry wit," or "dead pan" humor funnier than someone being silly.

 

[Diddly Drogba]

 

[Gunz&Butta]

Dumb people dont understand jokes to even laugh at em.

Yeah, unless it's slapstick comedy

 

[inndaskKy]

I think highly intelligent people appreciate a different kind of comedy and humor.
Shows like Martin might not really impress as much as Dave Chappelle or George Carlin performance.

 

[BobbyWojak]

Your sense of humor has nothing to do with your intelligence.

Premise is wrong because for all you wrote you are operating under the assumption of the existence of only one type of "humour" or one type of "funny" and all people subscribe to said definitions of humour/funny

 

[3rdWorld]

No..the opposite is true.

The funnier a comedian is, the smarter he is..

 

[IIVI]

I don’t think there is any correlation. I think it matters on maturity more than anything.

 

[feelosofer]

I think people just have different senses of humor regardless of over intelligence.

 

[Zero]

You ever knew someone who was really dumb and every time a joke was said within a group everyone would laugh but that one person would like like “huh” “wha..” I don’t get it. Yeah

Not for long

It was just a question breh it ain't that deep

Thread isn't asking if intelligent people are funnier/make good comedians. Reread the thread title.

They're easier, if youre also smart and knowledgeable yourself..they can identity far wider environmental and social situational irregularities and irony better..you have to dumb down to make a dummy laugh and that's not easy.

 

[Luke Cage]

False,

You actually need social intelligence to understand humor,
If you going around thinking nothing is funny, it more likely speaks to a lack of intelligence or disability than the other way around.

There are people who walk around thinking that an over abundance of "maturity" is a positive trait. And they display this by trying to be serious at all times

Maturity isn't just taking yourself serious, its having the wisdom to understand and appreciate differing perspectives. Thats the difference between intelligence and what i call "performative maturity."
