UNLEASH YOUR HERO By Tiffany Adams This “how-to” article is aimed towards a male audience in middle life. This population may read magazines such as Sports Illustrated or even Playboy.

However on the other hand, with hostile humourous scenarios, women find the situation increasingly funny if it is based on a man whereas men find the scenario more funny if it is about a woman. Mundorf (1988) found a complex interaction between gender, humour type and humour-victim gender. Interestingly, Herzog (2009) failed to replicate the findings of Mundorf (1988), therefore a level of controversy remains regarding gender differences in humour appreciation.
