This is an interesting analysis of sarcasm. It takes brains to understand sarcasm, which is why it is fun using it on lesser beings

The highest functions of our brains handle the lowest form of wit, new research suggests.
An investigation by Simone Shamay-Tsoory and colleagues shows that the ability to understand sarcasm depends on a carefully orchestrated sequence of complex cognitive skills in specific parts of the brain.
Dr Shamay-Tsoory, a psychologist at the Rambam Medical Centre in Haifa and the University of Haifa, said: "Sarcasm is related to our ability to understand other people's mental state. It's not just a linguistic form, it's also related to social cognition."

I have heard it said that the PUN is the lowest form of American humor. So, since "lowest" has been taken, I suppose SARCASM must be the "highest". You do realize you have severely limited the options available.

relies upon on the wielder, and the degree or form of sarcasm. "I refuse to enter right into a conflict of wits with someone who's come unarmed" is telling of rapier-sharp wit, while plebeian quips like "i ought to quite starve" factor out a ten 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous who's attempting to apply witty banter. Sarcasm getting used through the incompetent is form of a machete interior the palms of someone with Tourette's.
