Can humor change minds?
Yes, because it can. It can because yes. Yes, because it changes minds because it’s humor. Funny things make you feel good. You are more receptive to new ideas. Humor is a very human quality, so humor is relatable for people. Appealing to people through humor is effective, but you cannot always appeal to people through humor. You can’t alienate your audience with humor. When you offend a strongly held belief humor does not achieve its purpose. When humor highlights issues, it changes people’s minds who were on the fence. A+
Yes
- appeals to audience
- appropriate ethos, kairos
- everything else
- When the subject being tackled is a strongly held belief
- overly offensive, no longer benign
- reinforce sterotypes that you’re trying to criticize
