The more "humorous" people are, the more dangerous they are. This is definitely not an arbitrary statement, and when you really go into the hearts of those humorists, you will see a whole new world.
Humorous people have two major dangers, one is that they can't think straight, and the other is that they don't grow up. I'm just that, but I'm not alone. In this world, there are countless funny guys like me, and there is one, called Bean.
I am a child who lives in an adult body. ---- Rowan Atkinson
This phrase was used by Bean actor Rowan Atkinson to describe the protagonist of "Mr. Bean". Mr. Bean's. Mr. Bean comes alive under the British comedy Tydourowin Atkinson, and the image of clumsiness and always mistakes is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"Mr. Bean" is a representative of British comedy, written by the British comedy Tydourowyn (Rowan Atkinson) and played the protagonist "Mr. Bean". On 1 January 1990, the British Independent Television premiered the first episode of "Mr. Bean".
"Mr. Bean" is based on various embarrassing scenes in life, and the protagonist Bean exaggeratedly shows a state of panic, impatience, shyness and anxiety in various embarrassing and embarrassing scenes.
Sometimes even like a child, overwhelmed, either staring at huge eyes, or shaking his hands around, and then popping up strange thoughts, and eventually the more active you are, the worse the situation tends to be, and the plot also reaches a climax in the vicious circle of mistakes and mistakes.
Mr. Bean is dressed in a shirt with buttons neatly buttoned to the chin, gentleman-style suspender trousers and a brown suit and red tie, which is also the dress of the conservative middle class in Britain. And Mr. Bean's particularly childish performance is also British nonsense.
Yes, Mr. Bean, as a classic of British humor, vividly interprets the helpless and pitiful innocence of people under the oppression of the environment.
What is British humor? Or what do you think the British really look like?
Gentlemanly, reserved. Yes, the mild-mannered Britons have a different view of the world and of life. But a gentleman really does not wear a small tie, wear a plaid coat, and subtle is not to speak or be emotional.
The characteristic of British humor culture is that it does not rely on language, that is, it can only be understood and cannot be expressed.
Remember the opening of the 2012 London Olympics, when the London Symphony Orchestra played Chariot of Fire in the center of the stage while Mr. Bean's British actor Rowan Atkinson pressed the keyboard? Halfway through the play, he pulled out his phone while playing a key repeatedly, then sneezed again.
Think of any country in the world that can laugh at itself at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in such a ridiculous and imprecise way, so that everyone in the world can recognize the representative of this country - Mr. Bean, who has no ambitions and is confused.
The shaping of the image of Mr. Bean also comes from the Self-deprecation of the British people for their "ordinary appearance, ordinary personality, and ordinary IQ". "Mr. Bean" is mostly a boring daily life for small people, he has no friends and family, and there is only one teddy bear next to him.
Bean is reckless, funny, and in stark contrast to the strict crowd around him. Ignorant and naïve, many people will even find his IQ too low to be acceptable, and his strange behavior does not conform to the aesthetics of art.
Not mainstream, not into the world, very sad, very desolate. The eccentricity and childishness in British humor highlight the perception and thinking of the people of this country on life in contrast to the British erudition (representing the British Museum and the Oxbridge University) and rigor (representing the British Royal Family and English literature).
Through the observation of the daily life of the British, the childlike and funny humor of the conservative middle-class British citizens is portrayed vividly, along with the teddy bear that the British like.
Rowan believes that a bean without any thinking or wisdom can truly reflect the complexity of society.
Mr. Bean's exaggerated behavior and strange behavior can also reflect the stereotyped coldness around him.
The struggle and helplessness in the minds of those little people are like the helpless bean in the huge social environment, who wants to embrace the world, but can't do it, can only hug the bear next to him who can't talk, or talk to himself.
That kind of indisputable world and wanting to cry without tears and only laughing is Rowan's true reaction.
Rowan is a perfectionist, and the pure pursuit of comedy has also made Rowan a person in life who is not like Bean but is very similar. Rowan was afraid that everyone would not be able to understand Bean, so he repeatedly thought about what kind of expressions and behaviors in front of the mirror every day could make the audience laugh from the bottom of their hearts.
It's not hard to cry, but it's hard to laugh. Rowan uses the most extreme and simplest behavior, so that the audience can forget the troubles in life and forget the complexity of the adult world.
And this self-sacrifice has made Rowe, like many theater gurus, an outright pessimist. Because he left laughter and hilarity to the world, leaving a scarred body. All the joy actually comes from their own low posture in exchange for the other's sense of superiority, which is actually the connotation of humor and the core of its "terrible".
<h1>What is humor? </h1>
There are three theories in the book Hello Humor. The first is the doctrine of superiority, represented by Plato. Superiority theory holds that "laughter" arises from a sense of superiority over others, and that this sudden sense of glory comes from comparisons with others with one's previous self.
The second is the theory of relief represented by Freud, represented by Freud's "The Relationship between jokes and their unconscious.". Freud believed that "laughter" effectively harnessed the energy that would otherwise be used to tolerate and suppress thought life. This energy is soothed or released, creating a feeling of pleasure. Freud had an essay on humor, which we'll cover in more detail later.
The third is called the theory of perversion, and the representative figure is Schopenhauer. Schopenhauer pointed out that humor is the product of contradictions, and humor arises from the contradiction between the situation in our expectations of cognition or reality and the situation in jokes and gags. In layman's terms, humor creators use jokes to build a bridge between reality and fiction.
Regardless of the theory, "humor" expresses unreality and irrationality. That is to say, humorous people in the moment of humor, in fact, do not agree with reality or do not want to use objective statements to recognize reality or a certain personal view.
That is to say, silent people are often confused, and humorous people do not want to pretend to be confused, so humorous people often see through but do not say thoroughly, disappointed but not desperate, under those funny words and cute expressions, the subtext is actually, "Don't you think I am right, can you understand my grievances and desire to be recognized by you." ”
So why don't they express themselves in their normal form?
That's because the act of humor itself is pleasurable, relaxing, and receptive, and the two sides won't be embarrassed if they don't agree.
Humor is actually the safest way to express it, both for the creator of humor and for the person receiving it, because everyone is happy.
If you don't interpret it in this way, the most essential things in life will be invisible to the other party, will not be understood, or the other party will understand the intention of the humor creator itself with his own prejudices. The extreme consequence is that the two people are not happy and there is no longer a connection.
<h1>The "dangerous kernel" of humor</h1>
The scene that humorous people are most afraid of seeing is called: people walking tea cold.
Humorous people themselves have too many expectations and longings for the world, and they want to be happy and others are happy. Humorous people are also brave, even though the world is not good.
Humorous people want to use humorous methods or different artistic presentations to express their attitudes, which can also be regarded as the last blow to a society that cannot be changed.
Mr. Bean is such a person, he is afraid of getting old. Because he feels that Bean will always grow up without fear, without fear of rumors, without fear of the brave appearance of the world, he is afraid that he will not be able to act well.
The world is like a huge circus, he excites you, but he makes me panic, because I know that after the end of the show: limited warmth, infinite heartache.
This sentence is chaplin's words, and it is also the inner portrayal of many humorists. Chaplin is a typical clown in the play, a master of wisdom outside the play.
In fact, many comedians suffer from smiling depression in their perennial artistic pursuits, that is, "you see how happy I am, how sad my heart is", which is actually the dangerous core hidden in humor.
These smiling depressed patients, because they want to have a good connection with others, hope to get the approval of each other, desperately try to make others happy, joyful, and even at the expense of their own values, to echo the values of others.
In the long run, this group of people will lose the ability to laugh, because too much repression will make their real joy replaced by false joy, that is, the mask is worn, and it will not come down.
Or, joy ends up being a mask, because you can only think about happiness in dramatic situations, not the happiness you feel in life. Zhou Xingchi and Xu Zheng are like this, but they rarely laugh in life. Hollywood comedy star Robin Williams committed suicide at home. On the surface, the reason why people whose lives are full of happiness commit suicide is actually unhappiness.
Tell a story:
A man with severe depression told him, "Recently a particularly humorous man came to our town, who has been telling jokes on the street for three days, and the whole city has been having a very happy life these days. The patient replied, "I am the one you said was particularly humorous." "This man is Chaplin.
Therefore, humorous people are actually dangerous, and creating happiness for the people around them for many years will lead to a decline in their ability to feel happiness, and they will gradually become depressed, numb, and even tired of happiness, and they are more likely than ordinary people to suffer from depression, or schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other diseases.
And these people are more likely to give people a smile in the life scene because they habitually hide their true emotions, and they don't know if there is really an illusion of laughter.
Many humorous people even say particularly funny things in their lives, and the listener may think that they are deliberately funny. Or maybe he didn't really want to laugh himself, but others thought he was deliberately funny. And the saddest thing is that when a humorous person is very serious and objective in stating a thing, you still think it's a joke and won't listen to it.
To be alive is to be a joke, to be alive is to be far from your true self. In the end, you live and die, you lose, you lose yourself, you lose yourself, you lose yourself.
In a 1993 interview, Rowan envisioned The end of Mr. Bean: Bean, driving at a high speed on a country road, saw a spaceship flying like itself, the hatch opened, and a large group of beans came out. Then they got on the spaceship together and flew into space.
There have been no more beanes ever since. Don't fly away, let's rewind the time first, don't bean not want to grow up, we rewind the time. In the reality outside the play, we have no way to control time and space, and we can still do whatever we want in the play.
Writing here, are you aware of why Bean doesn't want to get old, doesn't want to grow up, humorous people have always known that they are taking a road of no return, because they think so they get old, because of their intentions, they are sad. All of Mr. Bean's scenes are without thinking and eliminating logic or even without intelligence, which is the true aftertaste and reluctance of life.
<h1 style="text-align: left;"> death instinct</h1>
Freud said in his later years that a theory called the theory of death: that is, the value of our lives lies in death. And precisely because we want to die, we have a death instinct, that is, we instinctively have an impulse to destroy, an instinct to attack, or an instinct to invade.
What does this have to do with not wanting to grow up? Of course.
Because children are innocent, there are children who can be childish and can be arrogant. The humorist's fascination with childhood, the attachment to the childlike heart, is not to destroy this orderly world, to attack those who look particularly perfect. Maturity means sophistication, compromise, and insincerity. That immaturity is the best way to be yourself.
Humor is also an attitude, because humor is through childlike behavior, childlike expression, the most vivid and superficial way to tell their own views, more is dissatisfaction. There is no way to be humorous.
Humor doesn't sound threatening, and it's the best way to attack, because the listener doesn't think humor is an attack, thinking it's just a taste of life. Humor j is not the taste of life, humorous people are cupid angels, holding arrows of love arrows to kill people everywhere.
Only by being a child can one be forgiven. So adults will have a desire to assume that they are children, so as to demand that they be controlled by others. For example, if you want other people to listen to you, you will have the most adorable tone and say to each other: Good, great, come on.
When you think of the other person as a cute kid, or assume that you're a kid who wants candy, others will let their guard down and let you control. There are often some people in your life who may be attracted to their humor and hurt by their childlike behavior.
And those who look childish and well-behaved are actually the embodiment of a personal defense mechanism.
An adult looks like a child because they use a relatively low-level and primitive defense mechanism.
And what kind of personality is prone to such behavior? What kind of adults always like to play children?
People with narcissistic personality disorder. Some childish and abnormal behaviors of people with this personality disorder often confuse or distress the people around them.
In the book "Beware of the Emotional Vampires Around You," author Bernstein refers to this group of people as "midnight boys," or vampires who haunt in the middle of the night.
Why are humorous people dangerous? One is that I can't think of it, and the other is that I can't grow up. Not being able to think of it means being prone to depression, and not being able to grow up means being narcissistic. Both of these situations are very lethal to those around you, so you must stay away.
Yes, it must be completely kept away. Because the reason for the emergence of humor is to save on emotional consumption, this sentence was said by Freud.
Freud had a treatise called "On Humor," in which he said that the cause of the joy of humor comes from the transfer of emotions. That is, the creator of humor will lead the listener to feel negative emotions such as anger, despair, and complaints, but the desire is disappointed, so this frugal emotional consumption is called the joy of humor.
Humor happens in two ways.
The first way, the humor creator himself feels happy, while having another person act as the audience or listener, derives pleasure from the humor process; the second way, humor is produced by the humor creator and a third party who has no direct connection.
For example:
On Monday, a convict who was taken to the gallows said, "Oh, how beautiful this week began." Then the criminal himself creates humor; the process of humor is done to himself, and it clearly provides him with a certain sense of satisfaction. I, as a listener, seemed to be touched by this humorous act of the criminal, and I also felt the joy of humor.
Freud also elaborated on the nature of humor:
Humor has something liberating, and at the same time it has something solemn and noble, and this solemnity, apparently lies in the triumph of narcissism, that is, it directs itself and performs a play.
Outsiders either understand or can't understand, it doesn't matter that they have received attention and emotional release.
Humor is also the idea that it is unable to properly express dissatisfaction and instead tell others in another way that it is inappropriate and unyielding, and the self is convinced that it will not be affected by the trauma inflicted by the outside world.
What is the difference between humor and no humor?
Going back to the example of the prisoner who was to be executed on the previous Monday.
The expression without humor is called: "I don't make a fuss." What does it really matter if a guy like me is hanged? The world will not end because of this. ”
We have to admit that such statements actually demonstrate the same noble superiority beyond reality. These words are clever and correct, but they go against the essence of humor.
。 Humor is shown and also expressed. Where does humor exist? With the help of this attitude, a person refuses to suffer, emphasizes that his ego is invincible to the real world, and triumphantly adheres to the principle of pleasure.
Freud, a psychiatrist, studied humor to find out whether this humorous attitude would transcend the boundaries of a healthy spirit.
I remember reading a mentally ill description from a psychiatrist before.
Psycho A describes why he doesn't like eggplant: I don't like eggplant because eggplant has skulls. Psychopath B describes his act of picking up garbage bags this way: I throw a lot of garbage bags every day to bring them back. Because this is a pocket, it represents a lot of meaning.
Freud believed that a person adopts a humorous attitude towards himself in order to prevent possible suffering. That is, humor becomes a referral from pain to pleasure. And the goal is to achieve the superego, because I am not happy.
That is, the superego condescends to make the ego a little joy. Unfortunately, the joy of humor can never be as intense as it is in comedy or joke, and it can never be vented in laughter from the bottom of the heart.
That is, in generating a humorous attitude, the superego actually severes its relationship with reality and instead serves fantasy. If you have more fantasies, you will be prone to problems, bringing problems to yourself and to others.
The humorous person's initial idea is to sacrifice himself to bring joy to others, and the possible end is to sacrifice himself and others really live in a happy world.
Mr. Bean's ending is repeated: Bean is driving and sees a spaceship flying like itself, the hatch opens, and a large group of beans emerges. Then they got on the spaceship together and flew into space.
A long, long time ago, bean was produced this way. Between the Central Criminal Court on Old Barry Street in England and 10 Downing Street, a bean fell from the sky. In front of two serious political symbols representing Britain, the bean became more and more abrupt and lonely.
Why is humor a dangerous personality? If you understand, it is called humor, and if you don't understand it, it is called danger. All sentient beings, we are all a bean.
Recently, Rowan, 65, told The Sun about his farewell determination to play Mr. Bean:
"Playing him already makes me not feel much fun, and the heaviness of responsibility makes people unhappy. I was stressed and exhausted because of this role. I look forward to the end of this role. “
Although no longer playing "Mr. Bean", Rowan will continue to voice the character in the animated version of the "Mr. Bean" TV series and participate in the preparation of another "Mr. Bean Animation Movie".
It seems that Rowan still can't let go of Mr. Bean, so he doesn't have the confidence to play it again, but he still uses other ways to make this beautiful image continue, as if it is a role that will never die.
As he himself prophesied for Mr. Bean's ending: Bean, driving at high speed on a country road, a spaceship flew toward him, the hatch opened, and out came a large group of beanes. Then they got on the spaceship together and flew into space.
Humor is a disease, laughing and laughing and crying.
I'm a fool and wake up crying.
