"But we were a humorocracy. You know, the funny person in the room at the moment was king." - S. Colbert.
"In the Land of Humorocracy, it is the Jester that is King, and Laughter is the only legal tender. Humornomics is the highest education, and Humorology the religion that rules them all. And on the entrance wall it was written, 'Behold the land of humorists, here thou shall die only of laughter'" - E. Fernandez

Plato, who attributed to Socrates in the Philebus (p. 49b) the view that the essence of the ridiculous is an ignorance in the weak, who are thus unable to retaliate when ridiculed.
