Anthropomorphic humor is a common way to create fairy tales, animations and fables.What we call anthropomorphic humor is to look for a sense of humor from the fairy tale kingdom and the animation world.

In life, there are some things without emotion, lack of motivation, purpose and means.Anthropomorphism is to endow these things with strong emotional color and some motivation, and turn some unconscious results into conscious conscious behavior.Humor often comes from this.

Socrates is an ancient Greek philosopher.Once he met a critic who was bald.When the bald man saw him, he not only criticized Socrates, but also abused him, but Socrates said nothing.

"Do you have anything else to say?" the critic said angrilyIt's very aggressive.

Socrates simply said, "no, no, I just envy you.""What do you envy me?" the critic asked curiously

Socrates replied, "I envy your hair. It's so clever that it left your head long ago."

The critics were speechless.Socrates personifies his hair and shows his dislike for this man by his intelligence and automatic departure.It means that your hair hates you, so no one else needs to mention it.

A man went to visit his friend. When he approached his friend's house, a big dog suddenly came out and barked at him. He was scared to stop.

When his friend heard the news and saw him, he said, "don't be afraid! As the saying goes," barking dogs can't bite people. "?Don't you know that? "

He immediately replied, "I know the saying, and you know it, but does the dog know it?"

This man deliberately compared dogs to people, so that dogs can be personified into thinking animals, which not only vent their displeasure wittily, but also pay back to friends without disrespectful appearance.

Analogy is not the same as analogy.Metaphor is to use the object to describe the object. Whether it is a simile or a metaphor, there is always a pattern that a is like B or B is like a.

There is no question of who is like whom in analogy method. It objectifies the expressed person or object as soon as it comes up.If people are regarded as objects, then what appears is things. If things are imitated as human beings, then the things described must be activities as human beings.Analogy in general rhetorical sense does not necessarily produce humorous effect.

In order to meet the needs of demotion, the analogy method here must imitate people as vulgar things, or imitate vulgar things as human beings or other noble images, so as to highlight the funny side of things.In the process of appreciating the humorous object, the aesthetic subject finds the absurdity, error or fault, so as to strengthen his sense of superiority and show his sincere joy.
