Obscenity:
This kind of humor presents subject matter, typically dealing with bodily functions or features, which are normally taboo. Because it is a performance, however, it is more acceptable for these things to be displayed or spoken of and thus has a cathartic effect for the audience, purging their desire to be open about that which is taboo.
ex. Thom and I performed Insult tennis during out presentation to demonstrate obscenity. |
