is  ridiculous  in  our  friends,  we  are  experiencing  a  combination  of  both  delight  and envy, that is, we mix together both pain and pleasure (Plato, 1861). Scant references to comedy in the first, and only extant, volume tell us that, in common with Plato, he saw  the  ridiculous  as  something  rather  ugly  and  distorted  (Aristotle,  1934).  As commonplace in everyday life, humor seems to be quite elusive and unpindownable as  a  theoretical  concept.  However,  this  did  not  prevent  the  scholars  of  various disciplines,  from  psychology,  sociology,  pedagogy  and  linguistics,  to  explore  the topic  of  humor,  which  has  more  often  than  not,  lead  to  'epistemological  picky' (Attardo,  1994:  1)  “epistemological  hairsplitting”  (Attardo,  1994:  1).Humor  is  the ultimate  definition  depends  on  its  intended  use.  Congreve  (1984)  said:  “To  define humor is difficult for it is of infinite variety” (Palmer,1994: 39).“Humor is a masked aggression,  this  desperate  desire  for  a  happy  one  (Freud,1976:  299).

2.2 The Types of Humor Theories
As is widely known, theories of humor are traditionally divided in three branches. As Raskin points out humor has been claimed to emerge in three basic ways in human thought:  through  perceptions  of  relief,  incongruity,  and  superiority  (Raskin, 1985).First, incongruity theory is considered the linguistic theory of humor because it is  built  on  the  perception  or  reception  of  incongruity  with  the  nature  of  humorous texts.  Second,  superiority  theory  reflects  a  social  relationship:  the  relation  between human and aspects of superiority such as power, conflict, or hierarchy is still central to superiority theory. Third, relief theory establishes a relation between humor and the unconscious.
