Definition Essay: My Sense Of Humor

Humor is something that is constantly evolving, century to century. When looking at things that society considered hilarious in the 1920’s versus what people of today’s society consider hilarious, the difference is almost insane. A much smaller example of comical evolution is simply looking at what we found funny as a child and comparing that to what we find funny at whatever age we are now.

Another example is, “Y’all be letting men that weigh less than 150 hurt your feelings? LMFAOOOOOOOOOO bitch if you don’t punch that nigga in his bird chest”. This is another mean joke yet so funny, even funnier than the first if I may so myself. That being said which joke is better and
