Do You Get More Enjoyment From "Making People Laugh" or "Pissing People Off"?

Question

Lliam · Accepted Answer

I enjoy making people laugh. Sometimes I don't understand why they don't, though.
Like why don't blond girls laugh at my blond jokes? 🙄? 🤷? 😁 (I'm teasing you, bbb)

It also seems that some people aren't great at picking up on satire, sarcastic humor, and irony.

Actually, I'm kind of a wise cracker (is that racist? 😂). There are so many serious things happening in the world and I have deep opinions and concerns. I constantly educate myself through study. I'm not frivolous and can be a very serious person. And yes, I can get angry. But I'm conscious of not letting myself get depressed or full of rage, so I often see irony and absurdity in current events. I'm familiar with too many serious-as-a-heart-attack, "woke", SJW types, as well as angry conservatives, not to mention people with victim mentality. I think some people prefer feeling miserable.

During conversations about social issues, politics or global affairs, I often use humor to lighten things up in the same vein as people like Will Rogers or Mark Twain. Humor is sometimes the best way to make a point.

Laughter is the best medicine, as you often demonstrate, bbb. And we should enjoy life as much as possible, regardless of the trials and tribulations faced by every generation since the beginning of time.

In regards to pissing people off. It's not my goal in life. I never set out to piss people off. I take no joy in it at all. I prefer to lift people up. But if expressing my honest opinions in conversations or on sites like GAG or Facebook piss people off, I don't care. That's their problem.

The heckler - comedian exchange dynamic is symbiotic in it's battle of wit's and which witticisms"piss on your hater parade" low brow burns and cheap shots clarification countermeasures exchange, that are mutually denigrating empowerment resulting from insult one up'smanship.
The result, uproarious punchline🤜〰️👉💨😂 enjoyment from the audience🤜〰️😁😆😅😂🤣👍.
The movie 8 mile, had an excellent rap off segment between two rival rappers at a job site, where one mad reference to the other's lack of assembly line ambition, the other referring too his rival be going nowhere, rapping about his 👣🌱roots.😂🤣😭.
In closing, the two are not mutually exclusive in some social situations.

OMG… absolutely making people laugh! The world is such a more beautiful place when it’s filled with laughter. I can’t imagine EVER deliberately or intentionally pissing people off!
Well, except for Debs, and Cindy, oh and skinny Heather #2, and Colby… oh yeah Amanda, I almost forgot her! Omg, and Kathy… fuckin’ Kathy! (Those bitches know what they did!) LOL 😆

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

I'll be honest; I can definitely be a snarky little asshole, especially if the wrong person pushes my buttons.

With that being said, I actually prefer pissing the wrong people off. I want to emphasize, not everyone, just annoying and rude people, along with certain coworkers. Otherwise, I'm just me. I don't really care much for making people laugh.

ohshee · Answer

I think I'm going to go with laughing because I would just rather laugh it takes me a long time to get pissed off but if I see somebody trying to manipulate me or trying to play me as really stupid stupid okay but really stupid I will say things to them that are true just to get their blood boiling I'm going to walk away no matter what they have to say within a split second I have a comeback and it's the truth that's why it's so fast but I can piss people that I can make people bringing pull out their hair but like I said it takes a lot to get me there I would rather just smile and agree with them let them think whatever they want to think

Diodoro · Answer

People who get a lot of joy out of pissing other people off don't have it in them to actually be the light in the room that makes people laugh, that's part of the reason they get more joy out of pissing people off. It's the only dirty high that they know how to get.

I am entertained by pissing off some people under very specific circumstances, but outside of that I by far prefer to make people laugh.

adventurous-1 · Answer

Adding joy when I can is rewarding and I hope it helps to promote feeling's of wellbeing, if you are having a bad day and someone is being negative it tends to increases your stress and worsen your attitude and outlook towards others. People tend to pass on what they are experiencing. I try for the more positive approach in my surroundings and hope it make things better.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Both actually. I love to make people that are close to me laugh, it is such a delight to be a part of a great happy joyful memory. Pissing people off that i don't know is hilarious that i can tell the people i love about 😉. See what i did there 😏

15_Debo · Answer

WELL BOTH...
tho I voted pissing of cause I like that more...
it takes me a few minutes to get to know people or at least how to get under their skin...
sarcasm/humor... and BOOM they are pissed of...
But sometimes I use my humor to make people laugh...
Depends on the people...
BAD people will get pissed
GOOD people will be made laugh...

MadinaHasABensheer · Answer

I enjoy it most when we are all having a good laugh. I don't want to make other people laugh when i think its not funny nor do i want to piss off someone just to get a good laugh. In many occasions i enjoyed having a good time with everyone who contributed to whatever laugh that we shared.

Crazybeeguy · Answer

Laugh, Jim Carry and Robin Williams had depression. George Carlin understood all you can do is laugh at the world. Pissing people off is a side effect of their ego. I had someone who was having an argument about the state of our economy. I brought facts he was utilizing the equavalent of school child humour it was pissing me off he was having fun, then I asked can you afford me being right? All he needed to do is recognize the possobility that he could be wrong. Then it stopped him.

JClone55 · Answer

Making people laugh, because it's harder to do. More of a challenge. Pissing people off is easy. I can do that in my sleep. But laughter and harmony are always better than vindictiveness and strife.

dustybiker · Answer

I don’t like pissing people off. I do stand up to bullies however. If that pisses them off, they asked for it.  Other hand, bringing random happiness to people feels really good.

Massageman · Answer

Helping them be happier/relaxed would be most accurate for me.
Sure, sometimes they may laugh as part of their "happiness continuum",
but along as I have eased their lives' burden in some way,
then it's a good day for me.

Cnlngler · Answer

Oh my god I think this is the best question I've seen here yet. Both are just as enjoyable..

I would even piss my wife off just to make her laugh just to see her cute laughter..

I love pissing people off when they are annoying.
But I love making people laugh although I can't tell a joke even if my life depended on it.

Assi2k · Answer

Apparently people think when I insult them, it’s funny so I’m lost. I guess I’ll choose inadvertently making people laugh

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Definitely prefer the humour side, it’s often all we have when things in life get dark. a bit of well placed humour can lift spirits and moral.

Anonymous · Answer

I make myself laugh a lot while interacting with gag members.
I only intentionally piss people off as a way to balance something else here that was done to hurt people. I see my mischief as honorable sometimes because it's just an attempt to help the people who get shit on here the most. Unfortunately there's too much collateral damage in this game.

DonkeyDan · Answer

Pissing people off is easy, it's low hanging fruit. Getting someone to laugh takes skill. Anger can be forced while laughter must be carefully coerced

Laughter is way more satisfying. I don't get why anyone would enjoy upsetting other people.

Dyspraxic · Answer

I tend to find I seem to like reactions… I always aim for laughter, but often I will keep going no matter what, usually this gets a person annoyed. I really don’t try to, I feel shit after I realised I’ve done it.
