Genuine healthy humor relieves tension, restores perspective and helps to view ludicrous situations in a more wholistic fashion, basically by separating our selves from events and circumstances. With humor we are able to observe the paradoxical aspects of life in a tolerant and harmless frame of mind. Sick humor is contemptuous, often aggressive, it targets others for shame, humiliation, and other forms of victimization. It is used more to dispel sexual discomfort and fear of others than to bring joy. Sick humor is found more commonly among adolescents who are struggling to form a personal identity than with small children or adults.
