Questions 15—18

Being amused is a condition we’re all familiar with, but what exactly is a sense of humor? Well, it’s something very personal, and yet we communicate it to others by laughing. Laughter is a universal human expression. All normal human beings can laugh. Children as young as one month old will laugh. People often laugh together, and people laugh louder and more frequently when other people around them are also laughing. Every comedian knows this, and research has confirmed it.

Physically, laughter is an involuntary tensing of the chest muscles, followed by a rapid inhalation and exhalation of breath---a mechanism that releases tension. For most people, a good laugh is welcome---and worth looking for---because it brings pleasure and relief.

Human adults everywhere in the world enjoy making their children laugh. Adults make playful attacks on their children, tickling, teasing, and even pretending to bit them. Adults will throw small children up in the air and catch them again. This causes the child to experience mild stress, but in a secure setting because the stress is carefully controlled by the parent. And when the child laughs, it’s a signal that he or she has successfully dealt with mild feelings of insecurity. This teaches the child about the shocks and fears that are part of human life, and which every human eventually has to deal with. This element of shock in an otherwise safe situation is a universal characteristic of situations where people laugh.

Our sense of humor allows us to tell stories about situations we haven’t experienced firsthand. We call these little stories “jokes”. We tell jokes to show our frustration with the society we live in, especially its…well, its rules. Social rules and conventions provide us with a range of situations that we can turn into humor. And the things we joke about---the conventions and rules we live by---are sort of tense areas in our society, they’re areas where we can see the need for change. Humor gives us the power to think about changing the rules. Making jokes and laughing are safe ways to change our social rules and conventions. Therefore, comedians---whether they know it or not---are agents of social change.
