Answer 1

The four Humours?

Not George Carlin, Bill Cosby, Ellen DeGeneres and Red Skelton?

The four humours (or humors) are the four fundamental fluids of the human body: yellow bile, black bile, phlegm and blood. Greek thinkers in Antiquity connected them with the four elements theory and associated them with medical science.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Science...a bad word! LOL
