Why are we comparing them as different entities?


What is the difference between Steph Curry and the NBA?
What is the difference between water and the Ocean?
What is the difference between jazz and music?

true....i think title should been "difference between wit and sarcasm"

Ebenus Supremus:
SarcasAm( thank you for the spelling lesson sccit) is usually negative or derogatory in some form or another... Yes it is funny, but it is separate from humor which I'd generally positive and something that you simply laugh at rather than attempt to outwit with a reciprocal sarcastic remark... No one ever came up with a sarcastic joke, that wasn't one upped, where as a funny humorous positive joke, just gives ya a sore belly n ribs from laughing, again, sarcasam is funny but its usually negative, hence the word sarcasam existing, so as to differentiate between the two, its like you can have an r rated movie or a pg rated movie, there both just movies but the rating better describes the content...

I'm sorry your experiences in life have led you to this current state and outlook.

It's always about style. And it don't have to be sarcastic to be mean-spirited, there's plenty more ways to make you the butt of a joke. On the other hand I can be sarcastic and you still won't feel put down, cuz it's funny. You didn't think this one through.

What's there to think through...
Sarcasm - Negative
Humour - Positive
Sarcasam - Belittling
Humour - Encouraging

Just cos the butt of the joke laughs too or doesn't realise that they are the butt of the joke doesn't mean that somehow the joke was not sarcastic....

My brothers first joke was when he was 3 or 4...
He said "knock knock"
I said "who's there"
He said "Mr. Bear"
I said "Mr. Bear who"
He said "Mr. Bear with glasses on"
It was humorous because it was innocent. He had no concept of sarcastic wit.

But I could say to you....
"Knock knock"
And you be like....
"Who's there"
And I be like....
"Nobody"
And you gon open up n I'm gon just straight up start kicking the luvin shit outa ya and you gon be screaming "help, help!!! Nobody's attacking me"
And no one gon come to your aide cos they gon take you literally when I was just being sarcastic...

Get it?
