There are a few types of humour around some are positive others are negative i will share a few below and try to explain them.
SUPERIORITY THEORY ~ When we laugh and mock at others misfortune, this theory or style shows you think and value yourself above others and its not one type i recommend learning and pursing especially in any leadership type roles and in general as it can very often cause others emotional distress or harm.
RELIEF THEORY ~ This is something many of us will do in order to cope in high stress situations and to blow off physical, emotional and mental distress. So this is why you may hear a few jokes in an unfortunate event or situation, so don’t always judge those that crack jokes at what seems the most inappropriate times.
INCONGRUITY THEORY ~ this is when two opposing topics are mingled and the unexpected happens and can also show us another way of seeing things
