Philosophy of mockery?

[Demogorgon]

Has anyone ever taken the time aside to logically think of mocking others and the effects it may have? I understand it can have the prime motives of making one feel superior, projection, fun criticization, and a good laugh. But aside from the more carnal attractions, do you think it is better for the world to have more mockers? Does it make you live a fuller life?
I understand most can not part from their mocking ways for a little intellectualization on the topic, but what better place to discuss mockery then I-mockery? Hopefully someone can use moderation.

{I love philosophy, but can't help but laugh at the ignorance all around me in a cynical way.}
