Whats the difference between humor and sarcasm?
Sarcasm is a very witty form of humour. It’s almost like taking a dig at someone, but without technically doing so. Kind of playful bullying, but without bullying. It’s incredibly condescending and arrogant, and not many people can really pull it off properly. It requires a very quick wit in order to get it just right. If you don’t get the sarcastic comment in there immediately, its effectiveness is gone. Sarcasm is defined as “Sarcasm is the rhetorical device of using a characterization of something or someone in order to express contempt. It is closely connected with irony, in that the two are often combined in the same statement.” Humour, in itself, is just that. It’s funny. It’s comedy. It’s every form of anything funny that’s possible.
