1.) A cynical phrase used to trivialize a pitiful speech that can come off as too sentimental. Also used to condemn minor problems that are exaggerated by the speaker. Originated from Herbert Morrison's emotional radio broadcast of the Hindenburg crash.
"Oh, the humanity and all the passengers screaming around here. I told you, I can't even talk to people whose friends are on there {...} I-I can't talk, ladies and gentlemen." - Herbert Morrison, 1937 Hindenburg crash report
1.) A. "Sorry I couldn't come to school this past week...my dog died...*cries*"
"Your dog died? Who was 23 years old? Oh, the humanity!"
B. "My mom took away my phone for a week because I was texting in class. I am, like, so mad at her I swear I'm going to run away!"
"Oh, the humanity! Running away from home is the only justification for being punished because you disobeyed your school's code of conduct!"

Get the Oh, the humanity mug.For example: On a package of peanuts
Warning: May contain nuts. (no really)
On a frozen dessert, Warning on bottom.
Warning: Do NOT turn upside down. (well kinda late dont you think)
These are just a few examples but proof enough that humanity is doomed.

Get the Cards against humanity mug.The only reason the human race came to possess the capability of authority was sense of pride. Because they somehow mistakingly believe themselves to be a superior breed of beast. The moment they taste the fear of knowing there's a superior breed, something seems to take control over them everytime. And for some reason, humans act merely by instinct from that point on. However, there are rare ones that have love and common sense that help others in need selflessly in person or through art, music, movies, etc. and will always be there for another always no matter what. Yet the rare humans get called fake by the selfish, spoiled, jealous, ignorant, and/or lazy humans who try to ruin the rare humans lives because they're too daft to live their own life.
Ex. 1:
*Random human obviously depressed*
Common human: "He's/She's depressed, so he/she must be emo." (Ignorance) *Starts laughing at him/her*
Rare human: *Goes to random human* "Hey, you look sad. Wanta talk about it so I could try to help? We could be friends too! I'm {name}. *Smiles* (Loving, Kindness, Caring.)
Ex.2:
Common human: *Sees random person with latest smart phone and walks up to person at first acting nice* "So, you bumpin' music on your iPhone? That's cool."
Random human: "Yeah, thanks." *Smiles*
Common human: *Had a cowardly other common human do a sneak attack to the random person while the hypocritical human that was acting nice starts beating the random human and takes the iphone and the two cowards run off* (Jealousy, Selfishness, and possibly Laziness to work for his own item him/her and the other human stole.)
Ex.3:
Random human: *Lets other borrow something of theirs, after a few hours, days, etc. needs it back.* "Hey, where's my etc. I let you borrowed? I need to use it."
Common human: *Just points somewhere* "Look for it."
Random human: "Tell me where."
Common human: *Doesn't say anything* (Laziness, possibly Spoiled, Selfishness.)
Random human: "How hard is it to say a word? Geez, this is why I lost hope in humanity, there are humans who are apparently too lazy to even say things."
*Random human obviously depressed*
Common human: "He's/She's depressed, so he/she must be emo." (Ignorance) *Starts laughing at him/her*
Rare human: *Goes to random human* "Hey, you look sad. Wanta talk about it so I could try to help? We could be friends too! I'm {name}. *Smiles* (Loving, Kindness, Caring.)
