"Shadow Humor" Is when someone hides in the shadows of the phrase "Dark Humor" to openly hate on a specific kind of person or serious concept. For example, someone using shadow humor would frequently say things along the lines of "*insert specific kind of people* are so stupid. I could literally walk up to them and they would be *insert joke about common stereotype about said person* and then proceed to tell you your just too much of a snowflake to get dark humor. Someone who uses shadow humor also uses it for specific subjects pretty often.
Tyler: Haha dude watch me get sent to the principles office for slapping some girls wrist and saying "I like yuh cut g"
Kevin: That's the seventh joke you've made about people with problems like that today ... it's not even funny... there's no punchline you're just making fun of people who suffer from self-harm...
Tyler: Shut up Kevin! It's called 'Dark. Humour.' You're just too much of a snowflake to understand.
Kevin: That's not dark humor. You're using shadow humor. Stop using dark humor as an excuse to make fun of people with actual problems.

Get the dark chocolate humor mug.Humor Intelligence (HI) refers to an individual's ability to understand, appreciate, and generate humor. Similar to Emotional Intelligence (EI), HI exists on a spectrum, ranging from low to high, depending on a person's capacity to grasp the nuances of jokes, funny stories, or comedic situations. Additionally, Humor Intelligence measures one’s ability to craft and deliver humor effectively, engaging others and eliciting laughter.
Imagine you're at a dinner party, and someone spills a drink. A person with high Humor Intelligence might quickly defuse any embarrassment by saying:
"Well, at least the table was thirsty!"
or
"Looks like the floor was feeling left out—now it's part of the party!"
This shows HI because they:
Recognized the moment—a minor mishap that could be awkward.
Quickly assessed the situation and found a lighthearted way to address it.
Delivered the joke in a way that put people at ease rather than making anyone feel uncomfortable.
