What makes you laugh?

Watching someone force a situation that’s inevitable

Watching someone for a situation that’s inevitable makes me laugh because of most clever TV shows. There are some serious sitcoms and dramas or even film that show this specific scenario and it usually ends up being funny. After the fact, when I reflect on it, but I’m starting to catch up to it now to the point where When I’m watching it happen in real time, for television, I’m finding that funny in itself that may be a little crazy to admit, but It is a reality for me.

Witnessing authority operate in a hypocritical way over subordinates IN FRONT OF THEM

This might sounds oddly specific, but hypocrisy in general can be pretty funny to see. Look at some of our greatest moments in comedy and being a hypocrite contributes to that.

The humor to me derives from watching cowardice take place.

That might be a little harsh of an outlook, but that’s where my mind instantly goes. There’s others that do it out of pure ignorance, and honestly they get more of a pass.

When I got into improv comedy, it didn’t take long to notice that being a hypocrite would earn the most laughs. I believe it’s funny because mirroring is both a remedy and retaliation tactic. We’ve seen it executed at the highest of levels, but even at the bottom we experience it.

It’s arguably one of the most relatable realities that’s understood universally.

Slapstick Humor

Slapstick humor is comedy done right. Yeah, that was politically incorrect to say, but I just feel it’s one of the better options out of the vast many ways that you’re able to go about when it comes to being funny. And that’s the beauty of it.
There’s several different categories and layers that can tickle anyone’s fancy, but slapstick is pretty mindless. It’s been around for a while. We could even go back to theater days, black and white television.
There’s so many. Cookie cutters that it could fit into that mold. Some of the grates that stick out would be, Three Stooges, a personal favorite is Ed Ed Nettie.
But the idea behind it that Makes it so funny for me is that it gives me a chance to turn my brain off. sometimes just admire something that was plain dumb. There’s not much thought you have to put into it, and when you look at a lot of the humor that people, not even humor, matter of fact. Any type of content that they want to consume, most of it is stuff where they don’t want to think too much about what it is that they’re doing, and it usually takes a 2nd fiddle to whatever it is that they’re really focused on anyway.
But, There’s just so many things I could go on about with this type of funny. But it raised me and it still stuck with me going into. Or we’re at today.

A roast session

The roast session is something I’m pretty sure is more of a Western tradition in a sense where a lot of the entertainment tends to come at the expense of other people. But depending on who you’re with and the situation that you’re in, it doesn’t bother anyone too bad. It’s the same as being on a team where not everybody starts, but you want the entire team to do well.
And that’s where roasting ended up being one of the things that makes me laugh. You get to see somebody really tear somebody down for just a good moment in time. It’s never last for extended amount of time, nothing longer than… few minutes.
Emos. But you probably gonna ask yourself at this point, what is funny about seeing someone tear somebody down? It’s the building up process after, since it doesn’t last for long, you really tear it down to go ahead and build them up for the rest of the day.
If you tied to go back and go into that row session again, that’s because the foundation wasn’t strong enough again. It has to get broken down. But, It’s something that just ended up growing on me a little later in life, more of my preteen years, but, You get some really creative people.
There’s actually one comedian that does it really well that I’d go ahead and recommend somebody check out called Donterio.

He from Chicago. Have to just hear some of these sessions that goes on where He has it where he even monetized the sessions.
People enjoy it. They will pay him to roast them. And I don’t see it being any different from going to a comedy show and then you get talked about.
That’s probably even a better example. But you could let me know.
