The most thorough psychological and stems from Freud's thought: it argues that man, as a result of civilization and education, must increasingly control the sexual and aggressive impulses. While a few thousand years ago we would have beaten and matched instantly today We held back and restrained energy is released and discharged in laughter.

(...) Humor is the direct expression of our inner feelings without experiencing discomfort or embarrassment and without arousing the disapproval of others. With humor we say bread bread and wine to wine

(...) According to Freud, humor is "a means to find pleasure even in the presence of unpleasant emotions ... and it saves mental energy. Indeed Thanks to laugh relieve tension set in motion by some negative event ... The main purpose of humor is to say, 'Look at that! Here's what it comes down one thing that seems so dangerous to a child's play. "
