Is humor /lit/? I don't really think it fits under other categories.

I made a joke but I don't know if it is any good:

>A local resident of Vancouver walks his girlfriend home from a date. They walk out of the night club out of a side door into the alleyway. The gf then says: Mother, father I'm home!

Post jokes I guess.

Well, according to Aristotle, comedy represents men at their worst, while tragedy represents men at their best.

So humor is not /lit/

Nice one.

Are there any must read books or plays on humor?

Jokes are in fact considered a part of literature, so it is on topic.
Also, the joke doesn't make much sense to me. I'm not american...

Vancouver is in the middle of a housing crisis. It costs about 2000 CAD per month to rent a single bedroom apartment and very little is being done about it. Also other places literally bus the homeless to Vancouver because it has more homeless support services.

I'm not from America. I'm therefore also not from Canada, so I can't understand the joke.

I'm not going to argue that.
But /lit is humorous. That's the only reason I come here.

Two faggots are sitting on a bench in the park. Suddenly, a really hot girl walks past them. One faggot says to the other:
"I regret for the first time in my life that I'm not a lesbian."

Sure! Anything can be "literary", I guess. Most jokes just... aren't...

it's like how Michael Bay's movies are technically 'art', but in the same way Call of Duty is 'art'

/lit/ is, without a doubt, the least humorous board on the chan. That being said, it is also the least literary board on the chan. So therefore, humour must be literary.
