Humor in arguments can be both good and bad. It could be good because the person using humor in an argument can show people that they are down to earth and willing to relate to the people they are making the argument to, without being so serious about it. It can also show the person making an argument is a normal person that also have fun and still get a point across. I think that in debates and arguments it takes a lot of pressure off the person making the argument if they can joke around a little and show a different side to them. It also takes a lot off the audience in a way that they do not have to sit through a dry and boring 3 hour debate or argument. On the other hand it can be bad if the person making the argument is joking or showing the humor too much may not be taken as seriously by the audience, because it may come across that they are not taking what they say serious and is just kidding the whole time. It can also make the audience not take them seriously either and also make the debate or argument dry, boring, and not effective to getting the message across like it is intended to do.
