How Humor Works

If you haven't thought you're comical enough to make other people laugh, then here is the right manual for you and your friends,because it teaches you different ways you can improve that skill.The first thing we should do is understand the concept why we find something amusing, at least the way scientists think it is.I am sure there are times all of us make new conclusions and at those times, the two neural cells get connected by a 'patch' that the brain makes.

That path what we call a synapse and it works like this:While thinking about food, if we think of, let's say, grapes our brain will make a route (the synapse which will get thicker), connecting the two neural cells that contain the data we have on food and this fruit. In the future, there are good odds that when you think about food, you'll think of apples, too. You must be all like, "This has nothing to do with humor". And you're wrong, this is the actual way humor works.

It all starts with someone telling you a short, common story. Stand-up comedians call this a setup. After that, you're expected to think about the given story in a certain way. Your brain makes connections from this setup to a punch-line that you think will follow. A completely different version of the punch-line, that you have not thought of, is what will make you laugh. And in case, you don't get this, the following example will help you out.

The Setup: What is the most satisfying thing next to being shot at and missed? The Punch-line: An income tax refund.

How did you feel after hearing the setup? Surely, you would've said it was either a Bosnian, Serbian or Croatian in the driver's seat. During the setup our brain was forced to think this way. You surely noticed that the punch-line is very different than the one you had in mind. Remember this good, because it is a basic principle of the way humor works.

You should create the best possible setup, as it's really important. The greatest comedians will usually tell you a setup which will make you think of a number of different possible punch-lines. Now, the more you believe your punch-line is the best one, the more you'll laugh when you hear the real one. If you have already heard the joke, it will most likely no longer be funny, because your brain knows the punch line and there are no more new routes being made in the brain.

This should prove useful in case you want to make up some new pranks. When a person tells a story that everyone thinks about in the same way, but you find out an unexpected way to understand it. Now, if you tell this to others, it should be very funny.
