Is a Sense of Humor Really an Essential Part of Life?
There is nothing like humor to lighten the mood, keep someone entertained, or just make yourself look interesting. While the traditional things one looks for in a partner are attractiveness and the ability to provide, studies show that both men and women report that humor is a vital characteristic when looking for a potential partner. 90% of men and 81% of women in one piece of research rated it as attractive and something they actively seek out.
While the statistics would show that men value humor more than women, men still value physical attractiveness even more, while women are willing to compromise on attractiveness if the potential partner is funny. Self-deprecating humor, which often does fall into the “painfully relatable” category, is often considered particularly attractive, as it conveys the person's self-confidence in that they can actually laugh at themselves. A liking for hilarious memes about life also helps!
Of course, “attractiveness” is just how we measure things we like in other people. Humor and hilarity aren’t fun because they make us attractive to potential mates; they are just enjoyable human experiences in general. It’s also a great shortcut to bonding, as humor relies on shared experience or understanding, so if two people find the same thing funny, like these hilarious memes for adults about life, it’s a marker that they might get along. Not just romantically but as friends, coworkers, or even just neighbors.
Besides entertainment, humor does have a host of other psychological benefits. First and foremost, feeling good is good for you, surprise, surprise. But research shows that positive humor, as in the ability to be funny and find things funny is connected to better health outcomes. It might not offset a Big Mac, but a few hilarious memes about life a day could keep the doctor at bay, for a bit at least.
This was me, my brother & his wife when we discovered Murdoch Mysteries!!! We watched 15 seasons in 3 months! It's a Canadian series that is essentially a modern day police drama but it is set in the late 1800s thru early 1900s. It is an EXTREMELY self-aware show that KNOWS it is ridiculous in many of its plots and exploits it to make it even more ridiculously enjoyable. It is a wholesome drama/comedy/cop show/soap opera. It takes a certain personality to "get it" and enjoy it.
Omg yes. My one coworker, who likes to tell new hires and customers that she's the manager. Meanwhile the manager is rolling her eyes so hard she's giving herself a migraine.
Calculating minutes until I HAVE to get up makes my brain feel alive
However, not all humor is created equal, and maladaptive humor does not necessarily help a person with their health. Self-deprecating humor is good, but some people take it so far that they start to believe all the negative things they say about themselves. Similarly, aggressive humor that attacks others or has a lot of negative energy tends to not really make anyone feel better.
Funny, I was the youngest so I had to sit there! Even on my 37th birthday. My best friend & her guy drove one of my brothers & I to dinner so we could drink. My other brother met us there after work, and since he commuted by bus he didn’t have his car. The thing is, us three siblings are TALL. At 6’, I’m the little one. Never knew an SUV could feel tiny until I was squished between 6’4 & 6’5! We sure missed Pop’s 1972 Pontiac that night 😂

We always had station wagons ( there was 5 of us kids) me and lil brother always sat in the back flat “ trunk/storage area, long trips we’ll put a blanket down and lay there, happy child hood memories 🥹
Ah, the "way back." Best seat in the entire car!

I actually like the middle seat, because i can see the road instead someone's back of the head
Yes, never had to sit there because I was the only one who got car sick!

I always sit in the middle seat. I get motion sickness really bad, and I am far less likely to get sick in the middle seat because it's the only one with a full view out of the front of the car.
Yes. At some point in my life I just gave up any hope of growing legs anything longer than those of the average 8 year old and accepted this to be my place for the rest of my days.
Picture, if you will, a 4 day travel in the summer with 5 adults in an suv; 3 in their 30's and two in their 60's. I was the youngest (by 3 years) and at one point sat in the far back with the luggage and ac didn't really reach there very well. It was pretty miserable and I don't know how many times I said "child in a hot car" as an attempt to get the ac turned up more
I always sat in the middle, I had the whole back seat to myself! Sometimes I sat on the floor hump in the middle of mom's station wagon just for kicks.
me, as the smallest and youngest of my friend group lmao
It’s for the .3 child of the average family of 2 adults and 2.3 children.
Literally I’m always the skinniest cause I’m a twig and then someone like 5 inches taller than me will be like oh I’ll sit there
I was an only child growing up, and I sat behind the passenger seat. If no one was in the front, i'd sit there
On the other hand, that looks like a flip-down arm rest/console. Could be flipped up if the space is needed by a package or something.
I always had to sit in the middle on the crack with the hump, early 60's, my older brothers would always tease me and I had enough one time and backhanded my oldest knocked his glasses out the window. They were sitting on the road, no harm. I found out several years ago before my Dad passed that he thought my brother had been messing around and he dropped them. He laughed and I said I always wondered why I didn't get into trouble.
whichever child you can afford to have yeeted through the front windscreen in a crash due to the lack of an obstructing front-seat and the lack of a seatbelt on same.
I'm the shortest so I sit there, but I'm also the widest, so we're all uncomfortable.
I’m the youngest of three, always sat b****, even in my dad’s Camaro where the middle seat wasn’t even a seat. One break check could’ve sent me through the windshield.
I’m the oldest of three. I remember having a system where we rotated positions every ride when we were younger. It wasn’t always the best experience.
I always had to sit there ( I’m the middle child) but I feel like the youngest HAS TO sit in the middle
Hope the vehicle is front wheel drive ... or you had to "ride the hump"
Me when I’m in my friend’s car with all of my other friends
For a while, we had an estate car, and, being the youngest, I would often have to ride in the back. All my elder siblings thought that they were very clever, but I lo
Truth. I'm 5ft even & if there's a group of us in the car then that's my seat.
I hated when I had to be squished in middle seats and would always try to take a window seat!!
When I was an adult, my family flew into Buffalo, NY (where I live) so we could all drive to Toronto. Since it was my car, I drove, and since my dad was the largest, he was the passenger. My brother was almost as tall as my father, and my sister was a good 4 inches taller than my mother, so my mother got "The Hump." The three kids rejoiced at this!
thats me, the middle childs seat. Its ok, we get to see if we are going to crash first and use our siblings as shields
So, just being relatable isn’t enough; we can relate to pain and sadness, depression and loss just as easily as anything else. Even if a person is making a self-deprecating joke, it’s pretty easy to reflect those same negative feelings on one's self. So perhaps reconsider when you make the same “I’m a lazy slob” joke for the ninth time today; it’s definitely no longer funny, so choose one of these hilarious memes for adults instead.
Certain aspects of life do end up with more joking and humor, however. The workplace is a classic example of this, as work jokes are a way to relieve stress. Similarly, the workplace involves a number of shared experiences among a group of people, so it’s a lot easier to set up jokes with an audience that understands you.
While work is the most common venue for hilarious memes about life one can find examples in most areas of life, public transportation, traffic, pet ownership, and ordering a coffee, just to name a few. All of these involve some similar difficulties, experiences, and moments that a clever or funny person can exploit to garner a few laughs. They also are good topics for small-talk humor, unlike politics or religion.
From this perspective, humor is also a tool, as it humanizes us. A manager might throw in a few hilarious memes for adults now and then to show that they are still in touch. We are more likely to remember something if there is a punch-line attached to it, which clever markers will exploit. The cost of your laughter is a few moments of attention and memory.
Being a potato is complicated, too. You either get killed and eaten, or have the life drained out of you caring for five babies at once.
On the flip side, laughter and humor help with endorphins, which make us more creative. Incidentally, this is why you often have good ideas in the shower, the pleasure of hot water literally makes your brain work a bit better. But electricity bills being what they are, some hilarious memes for adults about life might be the cheaper solution.
Based on a true story means there are people with that names that might have had something similar but not quite and that this is what a friend of a friend’s hairdresser told them.
So if there is any takeaway, it’s a lot easier to be relatable than outright funny, but once you understand what things and experiences people tend to share, it will by proxy be easier to be funny at the same time. Just remember, laughing with someone at these memes from HilariousTextx tends to bring both pirates benefits while laughing at someone is more hit or miss.
Wonder how much sugar and caffeine it took for that one to sleep standing on his head?
Getting dressed is simply too much work sometimes. Towels are soft, simple, and it gives you some time to enjoy being clean before soiling yourself being productive
I look closely at every corn field I pass to see if I can catch a glimpse of the grim reaper doing his day job. Reaping corn.
Jokers to the left of me clowns to the right here I am stuck in the middle with you.
