c. The theories of liberation
According to this theory, humor is a result of the release of a type of psychic energy, liberating man from a certain amount of restraint. One of the more
famous of these theories belongs to Freud.

The adherents of a similar viewpoint include such authors as Spencer 1860, Penjon 1893, Kline 1907, Gregory
1924, Eastman 1936 and Monro 1951. These authors postulate that human
actions are limited by numerous prohibitions – sustention of rational behavior, the need for straightforward expression of thought, and adherence to common sense.
The humorous manner of expression of thought and way of socialization frees us from these restrictions.
The example: Seorang majikan marah kepada bawahannya yang selalu terlambat masuk
kantor. “Kemarin ban mobilmu kempes. Kemarinnya lagi mobilmu mogok. Pagi
ini jalanan macet. Besok kamu bilang mobilmu nabrak pohon.” “Jangan begitu, Pak. Nanti perusahaan rugi.”
