Humour and the Misfortune of Others is the second studio album by New Zealand soul singer Hollie Smith.

[3][4] Russell Baillie of The New Zealand Herald gave the album five stars, praising its "big angry and/or anguished anthems, clearly venting about her life and career's ups and downs".

[5] Nick Ward of The Nelson Mail gave the album three-and-a-half stars, saying of it "Smith's voice has picked up a raspy edge that comes and goes, but she begins to loosen the restraints and show more melodic inventiveness".

"Track by Track" – 19:42 Humour and the Misfortune of Others debuted at number one on the RIANZ New Zealand Albums Chart, the week of its release.

It follows Smith's previous album, Long Player's number-one debut.
