Abstract
Humor and laughter are ecumenical phenomena. Jokes, wit, funny narratives, irony, satire, sarcasm, the ludicrous, puns,
double entendres, slips of the tongue, and comical have universal appeal across all ages and different cultures. Even as
the subjects covered by humor vary, all of them have a few typical characteristics and unique functions. Several immense
benefits of a few laughs every day are recorded. There are no overarching theories to explain humor across all age
groups. Broadly, there are classified by their content and source of origin. This review attempts to outline as many of them
before summing the need for more empirical data-backed evidence-based research in the future in this less opted area
of study.
