Topic-English Humor
I have chosen this topic because, i truly believe that humor is a very important part in our life, oh but English humor…. is something legendary for me personally. It is a type of humor that not everyone understands and appreciates.
British humour carries a strong element of satire aimed at the absurdity of everyday life. Common themes include sarcasm, tongue-in-cheek, banter, insults, self-deprecation, taboo subjects, puns, innuendo, wit, and the British class system.[1] These are often accompanied by a deadpan delivery which is present throughout the British sense of humour.[2] It may be used to bury emotions in a way that seems unkind in the eyes of other cultures.[3] Jokes are told about everything and almost no subject is off-limits, though a lack of subtlety when discussing controversial issues is sometimes considered insensitive.[4] Many British comedy series have become successful internationally, serving as a representation of British culture to overseas audiences.
