Writing Excuses Season Four Episode One: Types of Humor

From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2010/01/11/writing-excuses-4-1-types-of-humor/

Key points: there are many different types of humor. Character humor depends on knowing the characters, and can be used in many different kinds of fiction. Cognitive humor depends on the reader filling in the punchline. Consistent character humor reinforces characterization. Physical humor is very subjective. Non sequiturs need good setup. And maybe a little cold medicine.
