Exploring the intersection of humor and morality, David Shoemaker examines the ethical implications of informal, spontaneous wit—termed wisecracks—like teasing and mockery. He questions whether humor that involves deception or stereotypes is inherently immoral and how motives influence this judgment. By distinguishing wisecracks from traditional jokes, Shoemaker highlights the complexities of humor in everyday interactions and argues that a nuanced understanding of morality is essential for appreciating humor's potential to heal, even when it can be hurtful.
