:remove indent) ETundel, you are confusing "I find it funny" with "it is intended as Humor."  I don't find Jackass funny myself, but it is still considered humour.  It may be very low comedy, which it is and not everyone will like it, but the fact remains that something does not cease to be "humour" just because X amount of people don't find it funny.

The above discussion is interesting, and I'd like to learn more about "The Wasps."  But certainly much of the above, such as vulgarity, is not "humor" as defined primarily by the dictionary: the "ludicrous" or (more importantly) the "absurdly incongruous."

There are dim-witted people who are amused by compulsive profanity or, as on this site, by mindless vandalism.  Parody and sarcasm is also immensely entertaining to the easily amused.  But this is not "humor" as defined by the dictionary, and I still haven't seen any compelling examples of pre-Christian humor.  A performance like "Trading Places" would qualify, but it didn't exist.

It's interesting how strenuously some people object to the proposition that humor did not predate Christianity.  Surely your minds are not so closed as to think the proposition to be automatically impossible.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:48, 9 February 2009 (EST)

Can you explain what you mean by this question?  It's a bit like asking -  who is right, Christians of Buddhists?  Do you mean, regarding Transubstantiation?  Or do you mean celibacy?  Or the infallibility of the Pope?  Maybe you could phrase it a little more clearly?  Finally, do you think it's helpful to the world to see the world like this?  Doesn't every faith believe it's 'right'?  [[User:TadghOB|TadghOB]] 17:10, 9 February 2009 (EST)
