Many children are mesmerized and delighted by the animated humor that they find in their morning cartoons. The delightful antics of animated characters on the television screen are not lifelike as we know it, but are conceived to be real to children who do not know any better. Children can derive a great amount of love and affection from the animated humor that is exhibited by some of their favorite cartoon characters.

The violent exchanges that occur on the screen when a weekly cartoon program starts, is only animated humor that stresses the plight of the character in the show and is not conceived to be actual violent actions as any adult would know it. The bonks on the head, and the various tackles and chases achieved by Tom and Jerry are some animated humor exhibitions at their finest. Many Mothers come to love those cartoon programs because of the smiles they place on their child’s faces.

Of course, some animated humor might be considered unsuitable for even teens. These programs have still found their way into the world of teens and young adults and the animated humor comments have been integrated into their language. Everyone wanted to know who killed Kenny and the animated humor in South Park eventually got around to letting everyone know.  Read more...

The story of my business – Meetings with humor: How Not to take work seriously  

 
Have you laughed today?

My name is Debbie Iancu Haddad (32), I’m a mother of two darling children, a phd student at BGU and I am a lecturer on humor and laugh yoga instructor.

I was born in Israel to a British mother & Romanian father who met in the immigration center (mercaz klitah) in Beer-Sheva. When I was 10 months old the family returned to England for six years, and re-emigrated in 1981.

Growing up bilingual in Israel was a huge help and has seen me through a BA, an MA and a third of a Phd. Even though I take studying seriously (almost no one who knows me would say too seriously) – my research interests focus on humor. My MA was an exploration of Diet humor and my doctorate research is about humor as a communication tool used by managers and head masters. If that isn’t enough I’m also a laugh yoga instructor. You may ask “don’t I take anything seriously?” Well the answer is: “No. But thank you for asking”.
