Mr. Bennet mocks his wife's silliness and is shown to be sarcastic, and cynical with comments as “…you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you"
Mr. Bennet Is always trying to play tricks on his family and withhold information from them such as when he doesn't come out and tell them that he visited Bingley or when Collins is coming to visit and he says, "The person of whom I speak, is a gentleman and a stranger."
Mr. Bennet shows his sense of humor when he says, "I am sorry to hear that; but why did not you tell me so before? If I had known this morning, I certainly would noty have called on him. It is very unlucky; but as I have already paid the visit, we cannot escape the aquaintance now." (page 5)
Mr Bennet also shows his sense of humor when his wife risks Jane's health by sending her to Mr. Bingley's on horseback. He says, "If your daughter should die, it would be a comfort to know that it was all in pursuit of Mr. Bingley, and under your orders."
I think that , "If your daughter should die, it would be a comfort to know that it was all in pursuit of Mr. Bingley, and under your orders." is more of an example of his sarcsm than of his humor. I feel like Mr. Bennet's sneering and cutting remarks are for his pleasure only and he gets a kick out of seeing Mrs. Bennets reaction!
