Tragicomedy, as a genre, has existed for more than 23 centuries. It paradoxically blends the sad and the funny, proving that things are rarely just black and white. Seriousness as well as absurdity coexist in real life too, and the “Funny and Sad” online community is just one proof of that. 

With more than 1 million members, it shares life's moments that are equally as tragic as they are comedic. After all, life can’t always be sunshine and rainbows, and when hardship hits, it can be better to deal with it in a humorous way.

While you’re scrolling through, don’t forget to check out a conversation with Jennifer Toof, LPC, NCC, an expert in trauma and owner of Trauma Informed Counseling & Consulting, who kindly agreed to tell us more about coping with humor.

I upvoted this because it needs attention. Personally, I down vote this practice of average people paying for some rich dudes stadiums that allow them to fleece the public of even more money! Subsidizing big oil, big pharma, big tech, and sports is immoral.

“Humor serves as a defense mechanism, meaning it can be an unconscious psychological response to protect people from feelings of anxiety, threats to self-esteem, and things that they don't want to think about or deal with,” trauma expert Jennifer Toof told Bored Panda.

“So in tragic or sad moments, some people turn to humor to cope, and, since it's unconscious, they may not even realize they are using humor in that way,” she said.

Dealing with hard times with humor has physical and emotional benefits, according to research. “Laughter releases endorphins, dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin, all of which are associated with improved mood,” explains Toof.

“It also decreases the release of cortisol, the stress hormone, meaning it can make people feel less stressed and more relaxed. Even the act of smiling has been found to release chemicals associated with happiness and stress relief. 

Humor can also distract us from things that are overwhelmingly difficult, and it helps us reframe situations, making a potentially scary, sad, or traumatic situation appear less threatening.”

Meanwhile, only focusing on the bad things in life can trap us in a loop of anxiety and even self-criticism.

“Negative thinking patterns can include only paying attention to failures and ignoring successes, black or white thinking (e.g., ‘If I get anything less than an A+ on this test, I’m a failure’), labeling oneself based on mistakes (e.g., ‘I’m a loser, an idiot’), [and] mind-reading (e.g., ‘Everyone will think I’m a loser for not getting this promotion’),” said Emma Morton, an expert of psychology, in a previous interview with Bored Panda.

In reply to Spike Hodge, part of my work involves child protection. Most of the offenders are relatives. Fewer than 20% are teachers/church/scoutmasters or other people in a position of trust. So far (and I confess we are a largely rural area) absolutely no drag artists.

Insuline is one of the cheapest medecine on earth. I mean we know how to produce it very easily and for not much money. Work in hospital in France and i feel bad when i think at how much insulin we just waste. At some point americans should just ask to european to send them insuline by postal service. I mean in France not only insuline is really cheap but it's also refunded by social security for every person suffering from diabete. Diabete is on a list of 30 chronic disease and social security pay everything related to these disease.

Despite all the benefits of coping with humor, like any defense mechanism, it can become an issue when it’s overused to avoid dealing with problems, says Toof. “In the short term, after a difficult situation, humor can help someone put distance between themselves and an overwhelming experience, but the underlying trauma will remain there if it's not addressed and resolved.”

Make a few changes with the laws and have them put to a vote (with just the women voting)…little things like women’s (gay and trans) rights, planned parenthood, reallocating funds from military research/corporate bailouts/etc to the education system (especially in low-income areas)….and get rid of the electoral college for christsake. Though, if the men are being held in their own alternate world without women, it would take them only a couple of hours, at most, to start blaming each other and start another world war over literally anything and everything they can come up with. At least one country will launch their nukes (with several others to follow in retaliation). At the end of the 24hours, I’d be surprised if more than 25% of the male population survives…certainly not enough to undo all of the hard work done while they were gone, but enough for us the ask them what the fu€k happened.

Equality is about seeking fairness, not balancing perceived scores or blaming an ethnicity or gender for actions attributed to a fraction of their group. This hypothetical is harmful to everyone, as it implies a want to remove an entire group without regard. Next time, (for example), try selecting criminals, or people who would hurt others.

Same for the morning, if i'm motivated to sleep more and add minutes to my alarm i usually feel pretty woke up. Reverse psychology on myself helps me and that's so weird.

Another potential downside is the possibility of hurting others. “That is, humor that is inappropriate or at the expense of others can be hurtful and harmful,” explains Toof. “People would be wise to their best judgment about what's appropriate or hurtful when making jokes in front of other people during hard times.”

Interestingly, many comedians use humor to cope and hide their struggles behind comedy. Like Robin Williams, who prematurely passed away at 63, or like Ellen DeGeneres, Sarah Silverman, Richard Pryor, and Woody Allen, who spoke or joked about depression and lack of self-worth that followed them in the past or even present.

Okay here's my view, take it or leave it. I don't care what y'all say about it. I think that Marijuana should be used medically, like for instance fixing seizures or other medical problems. My problem is with recreational marijuana use, both of my biological parents used marijuana when I was a child and needless to say they weren't present at all. They also used heroin but the Marijuana contributed a bunch. So in short, medicinal use is good and should be promoted, but recreational use is destructive

One of the earliest psychological studies of comedians, carried out in 1975 by Samuel Janus, found that 80% of them reached out to mental health professionals at some point in their lives. He included a comment in the article saying, “They repeatedly expressed the fear that if they were successful in analysis, to the point where their suffering was greatly relieved, they would then cease to be funny.”

My poor great-grandma lived through the balkan wars of both 1910s and 1990s, ww1, ww2, fascism, communism, the cold War, and an occasional famine. I have it surprisingly easy with only one war.

For those too lazy to google the facts: She was in jail in Russia, because she had a small vial of totally legal medicinal weed solution in her bag. If I was a mean person, I would suspect some lesbophobic vibe to that post, but I am willing to file this under "telling the correct facts on SM won't achieve enough likes".

Meanwhile in Japan, "bukkake ramen" is something you can eat in a normal restaurant - in Japanese the word "bukkake" itself is about as "obscene" as the "cream" in "cream pie".

If you haven't seen it I recommend stand up comedian Jim Jeffries gun control parts 1&2 that are up on youtube. Destroys the gun arguments hilariously but methodically.

My jaw nearly dropped at seeing the stats of how many hours Americans work and spend in traffic. And still get paid significantly less than those of us elsewhere. Why haven't you guys gone full French revolution?
