Troll humor

Something (joke, story, movie-scene) an individual does not find funny until they meet someone who is offended by it.

Then they find it hilarious (either from the nervousness, ridiculousness, obscenity, or the person is in-fact a troll)
Bob: So I heard this really lame joke the other day (insert joke)
Chad: … that's not funny (insert personal story)
Bob: … BAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Well I guess this friendship is over?
Chad: Nah, it's alright I understand troll humor just like when (inserts joke about Bob's life)
Both: (Laugh and continue being friends)

Sense of humor

The wrong people think that if you have one you're not serious, because they're not serious. They don't get what a sense of humor is, they think it is making fun of double standards and bullshit like that. A sense of humor is like common sense, it's dangerous not to have one.
The bubbly girl thought that because what she said and did was unhilarious and showed a poor sense of humor she would never admit to having, because she thought she was the funniest person in the world (because she was a narcissist) , that everybody else was like her, just as silly as her. If they said or did something that other people thought was funny or got, even if she didn't, to her it meant that the other person wasn't serious, because she wasn't serious, (she didn't hold anything sacred enough to be serious about it) so nobody else was either.

Sense of humor

Stephen King calls it anger with it's make up on, so when someone is always making unhilarious attempts at humor, it's because they are silly, not angry. It's because they are the worst kind of clown, one that isn't funny.
It's better not to have any sense of humor than to make unhilarious attempts at one to be part of a group so that you don't end up alone.

Four Humors Theory

An ancient and outdated medicine theory that states that a being's health is maintained through a balance of four bodily fluids, and an imbalance of such cause diseases. This theory heavily implies that such fluids regulate personalities, and is the basis of the four temperaments (Choleric, Melancholic, Phlegmatic, Sanguine).

The four bodily fluids are composed of:

- Blood, which causes sociable, extroverted, and comedic personality. See Sanguine
- Phlegm (Pus, Mucus, Saliva, Sweat), which causes reserved and introverted personality. See Phlegmatic
- Black Bile (Spleen, Cancer), which causes sad and depressed personality. See Melancholic
- Yellow Bile (Gallbladder, Vomit, Feces), which causes short-tempered, ambitious, and aggressive personality. See Choleric

Therefore, to combat diseases, one must get rid of excess humor, such as bloodletting. Temperature and humidity of the body such as Hot, Cold, Dry, and Wet are implied to be the balancing of humors. Hence, some might believe that this theory is the earliest attempt to understand Homeostasis, the regulation of biological mechanism. Originating from Ancient Greek thinkers and possibly spread as far into China, this theory persisted well into the 19th Century, in which Germ Theory becomes the foundation of modern medicine and discarded this 2300-years old theory.
Four Humors Theory allows for the erroneous understanding of diseases that plagued Ancient, Medieval, and Early Modern times.

Bloodletting is a dangerous practice that was invented due to Four Humors Theory.

Medieval and Early Modern doctors believed that injecting Mercury into the patient will balance the humors, as per stated by the Four Humors Theory.
