Question

Why should you be careful when you tend to be humorous

Answer 1

Answer:

We should be extremly cautious before tending to be humrous.

Explanation:

This is because Let's get the obvious problems out of the way:

You can make a remark which is only funny to you or your “buddies” and not to the society in general, and end up offending people. You deserve any resulting backlash, since it is your job to keep your words in check.

You can offend someone even with socially appropriate quips. Speaking from personal experience, getting punched because of a bad joke is a really silly way to end a friendship, and you don't even feel like retaliating to such a thing.

Now let's get to the more subtle issues.

Being funny is about being harmlessly surprising, with some tolerance in both aspects, depending on the audience. For example, you can be slightly harmful when pulling a practical joke, or be slightly offensive when roasting someone. For the second aspect, you can do something completely expected, but funny regardless. This is mostly through cuteness.
