Despite the claim of many a Borscht Belt comic that he is a practitioner of "the world's second-oldest professsion," stand-up comedy is a young and distinctly American literary form. It was not until the last decades of the nineteenth century when, enabled by unprecedented prosperity and the right to free expression, that monologists began appearing in American vaudeville halls. Yet even though it has since become an entertainment industry mainstay, stand-up comedy has received precious little scholarly attention. The Legacy of the Wisecrack: Stand-up Comedy as the Great American Literary Form looks at the theory of stand-up comedy, its literary dimensions, and its distinctly American qualities as it provides a detailed history of the forces that shaped it. The study concludes with a look at the works of specific comedians such as Steven Wright, whose three decades of performances comprise a single picaresque tale, and Richard Pryor, whose 1982 masterpiece Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip serves as modern America's answer to Dante Aligheri's epic poem, Inferno. The result is one of the first serious treatments of stand-up comedy as a literary form.

The emergence of Positive Psychology has highlighted the importance of studying the good life and how to attain it. Positive life outcomes, such as well-being, thriving, flourishing, and happiness were discussed and investigated. Among them, different orientations to happiness were identified, such as a life of pleasure, life of meaning, and life of engagement. Other outcomes, such as subjective and objective fulfillment in life or societal recognition have been less studied. Among the characteristics that facilitate positive outcomes, the VIA-classification of strength and virtues distinguishes 24 strengths with humor/playfulness being one of them. Only a small segment of humor entered the definition of humor as character strengths, namely the parts that contain some “goodness”. Humor as a character strength facilitates a lot of positive outcomes, such as positive emotions and positive relationships, and there is a “lightness” accompanying humor/playfulness. The field is broader though and transcends the definition of humor as used in positive psychology, in at least two ways. First, there is actually a family of overlapping but still distinct concepts with different research traditions. We include next to humor (and types of humor), also laughter, playfulness, and cheerfulness. We think that more research is needed on how they do overlap and what makes them distinct. Second, while positive psychology is interested in the goodness of we do want to stress that there is the need to study the non-virtuous parts as well. That is, laughter may not only be expressing amusement but scorn directed at people, humor may be benevolent but there is also sarcasm, and playfulness may elicit positive emotions but also risk-prone and immature types of behavior. Therefore, the aim of this Research Topic was to collect current perspectives on humor, playfulness, laughter, and cheerfulness in both adults and children, to study their full diversity but also interrelations and overlapping features, to introduce new instruments or ways for their assessment in future studies, and to study their causes and consequences in a variety of life domains. We encouraged studies on differences due to gender or nationality, the embodiment in different groups (e.g., class clowns, psychiatric patients), or whether or not they can be trained. We also welcomed contributions from adjacent disciplines (e.g., education, leisure studies, or therapy/counseling) and different regions of the earth. The outcome is a set of 33 manuscripts from altogether 101 authors. Not all areas are covered and not all aims were met; while we made progress there is much left to do. In this sense, the merging of these topics may be the first milestone but like every milestone, it only marks the beginning of a long journey.

The jokes that are built on the game of words are usually especially hard to translate, since they, like nothing else, require a knowledge of the Russian language. There are a few caricatures with word play also included in the book. This book introduces hilarious characters in an ordinary day doing ordinary tasks, captioned with English subtitles. Meet hilarious men, women, and children and follow them as they joke and quip through everyday scenarios. The book’s caricatures show how Russian humor works; it’s a parody with personas derived from life itself. Daily Humor in Russian Life is the fourteenth of fourteen in a series the author holds very dear to their heart. Caricatures in this volume capture a mix of humor on different topics about unfaithful wives and husbands, about animals, about each of the political leaders individually, about the army, about alcoholics, about life in general, and about much more.

Russian marriage jokes, Russian love jokes, Russian humor, and Russian family humor jokes. “Love” is love in any corner of the world, and like everything else, Russian love has its own interesting nuances. As far as marriage is concerned, I doubt that any other country has such an interesting dynamic. This wonderful topic is explored by this book through caricature art. And of course, we cannot forget Russian babushkas. Babushka in Russian means grandmother; outside of Russia people think of different meanings for that word, that are mostly not true. In Russian courtyards, Russian babushkas are spending their days sitting, gossiping about everybody, including “in-love” couples who pass by. Despite that Russian people love their babushkas and this also reflected in the book. Daily Humor in Russian Life is the eighth book of fourteen in a series the author holds very dear to their heart. Probably most readers of this book probably love and some even love marriage. In the matters of the heart, it is very important not to get caught up in the Russian traditions of dating and marriage and remember that a sense of humor will help us with these very serious matters. All of these wonderful drawings, as always, reflect the adult-child relationship with kind humor expressed through caricature art. Discover another culture and more reasons to laugh and smile.
