what are the characteristics of a humours person
Answers
Explanation:
A good sense of humor requires being observant, paying keen attention to what is going on, as opposed to assuming you already know.
Humor is often found in things being surprisingly out of place. The better you are at assuming unusual perspectives, seeing things from a totally different angle, the better you are at seeing it or generating it.
A sense of humor requires a certain detachment. You're seeing patterns, a bit from a distance. If you're being too serious or too identified with the action, you don't see the humor. That goes for yourself too. You need to be able to see the funny patterns in your own life too, even in unfortunate situations.
A rebellious and adventurous streak helps. You need to be ready to turn things upside down, or for things to be turned upside down, without fear. If you're obsessed with keeping everything proper and normal, you'll need to get over it.
You need a good grasp on reality as well. Things don't get funny just by being crazy. It is the contrast between the way things normally are and some new unexpected turn that is funny. An off the wall character needs a foil, a "straight man", in order to be most funny.
Comedic timing is essential. It isn't just words that are funny, it is the rhythm of delivery, it is the exact right time for something to be said or to happen. So, you need a sense of rhythm and you need to easily sense natural opportunities that present themselves.
Nothing is funny in isolation. It is funny for some particular people in particular situations. To make others laugh, you need to read the atmosphere well, and you need to be in rapport with the other people who're present.
And, most importantly: shoes. You definitely need the right shoes, or nobody will take your humor seriously.
