L29-1：Funny or not?
Whether we find a joke funny or not largely depends on where we have been brought up.
The sense of humour is mysteriously bound up with national characteristics.
A Frenchman, for instance,
might find it hard to laugh at a Russian joke.
In the same way,
a Russian might fail to see anything amusing in a joke which would make an Englishman laugh to tears.
Most funny stories are based on comic situations.
In spite of national differences,
certain funny situations have a universal appeal.
No matter where you live,
you would find it difficult not to laugh at,
say, Charlie Chaplin's early films.
However,
a new type of humour,
which stems largely from the U.S.,
has recently come into fashion.
It is called “sick humour”.
Comedians base their jokes on tragic situation like violent death or serious accidents.
Many people find this sort of joke distasteful. The following example of 'sick humour' will enable you to judge for yourself.
