Western philosophy's traditional assessment of the nature and value of humor has not been kind, as the standard theories made humor look antisocial, irrational, and foolish. It wasn't until well into the 20th century that humor gained even a semblance of respect. Comic Relief goes a great way in ameliorating this injustice.
