What Makes You Laugh?

In this video, I look at 7 different types of humour.

A sense of humour is very important, especially in these troubling times!  Many cultures, such as British and Australian, place a lot of emphasis on humour. We really like to laugh!

This is not a definitive list of every type of humour, just a few of the common ones.  They might be useful for you to know! 

I will also leave links to some of the television shows that I talk about in the video, so that you can better understand the type of humour and have a few laughs!  That will help with your listening practice.  Put on the English subtitles for extra reading practice.

Here are the types of humour that I talk about:

  • Satire
  • Parody
  • Spoof
  • Dry Humour (Deadpan)
  • Wordplay
  • Irony
  • Sarcasm

Links to examples can be found on YouTube. You can also leave comments there too!

I hope this helps. Until next time!
