Researcher identifies just 8 patterns as the cause of all humor
useful quote: "Note that while the general intention of satire is to reduce the status of or emotionally deflate the subject being satirized, patterns of scale are not significantly more common in it than in any other form of humour (with the obvious exception of the literary work Gulliver’s Travels). The reduction in status is a result of the humour and its associated commentary, not for the most part its cause."Pyrrhic House >> Current Publications >> The Eight Patterns of Humour
