Thanks to the internet, we all can share our jokes far and wide, to the great joy—or sadness—of those who get to read them. So it’s no surprise that social media is brimming with quips, some better, some worse.
Talking about jokes and humor, the CEO of Humor That Works, author and speaker Andrew Tarvin, noted that they can also be used for better or worse. “Humor can have a dramatic effect on the listener... in a good and bad way,” he told Bored Panda in a recent interview.
“In a good way, delivering a joke that lands with someone strengthens your connection with them. You bond over that shared laughter and they see you as a more competent, confident person. Also, the physical act of laughing can increase blood flow through the body, release endorphins, and relax muscles, so it's also like a mini health boost for them.”
“It's true that jokes tend to work a little better in person, but not always,” Tarvin noted, discussing a jokester’s chances of making people laugh online vs. in real life. “We are much more likely to laugh when we're around other people. But that doesn't mean jokes don't work online, they absolutely can have the desired effect. But instead of an uproarious laugh, it might lead to a smile, or gently blowing more air out of your nostrils for a split second.”
Nightclub has the same kind of vibe as an ER. Really loud with lots of people waving their arms around, gurning and pestering for pharmaceuticals.
While the joke can work great online and offline, when delivered to a live audience, it’s likely to evoke a bigger reaction because of how contagious laughter can be. When we hear someone laughing, it’s not unusual for us to start giggling, too, sometimes even without realizing it.
“Contagious laughter demonstrates affection and affiliation,” explained Sophie Scott, a neuroscientist at University College London, who, according to The Washington Post, has studied laughter for over two decades. “Even being in the presence of people you expect to be funny will prime laughter within you,” the expert noted.
Scott delved deeper into people’s reactions to hearing others laugh in a study she co-authored, which showed that our brain responds to the sound of laughter by preparing the facial muscles to join in.
It's just another line of the con rich people spin to keep poor people from revolution.
kinda like have a clean toilet. That lasts until hubs smells the cleaner - instant laxative, I swear..
Talking about whether it’s easier or more difficult to be funny in real life than online, Tarvin noted that it depends on a person’s natural style of humor. “If you tend to make jokes that are off the cuff or rely on your delivery, then in real life it is definitely easier,” he said. “However, if you're a witty writer, or more introverted in your delivery, then online can actually be easier because you have more time to plan, craft, and perfect your punchline.”
If you've got the space, get two, just two laying chicks and you'll be set.
According to Tarvin, humor provides more than 30 benefits when used correctly. “People engage with funny content for a myriad of reasons,” he said. “Maybe they need to relieve some stress or boost their energy. Maybe they want to take their mind off things or try to reset after doomscrolling. They could just be bored or want entertainment. It could also be for a deeper reason, maybe they're looking for the perfect joke they can send to their crush, or a funny meme they can include in a presentation. There are so many reasons people are drawn to humor, and that's a good thing, because it can make them, and the world, feel just a little bit lighter.”
And make sure to get my good side, well they're all bad so the better side.
My friend's son after first day of school: "How long do I have to do this?"
My cat has started to understand things and stops moving when she realises I am making a video
That's a top secret boat .... A reporter must have snuck in. Blame the reporter.
That's my doppelganger! The secret twin you never knew about! My clone!
Remeber the phone hallway? Far away to answer quickly, close enough for everyone in the house to eavesdrop on your conversation.
Academic validation is seldom followed by financial validation. That’s reserved for those who can throw or kick a ball really well or for frustrated neo-Nażis who can build a car that looks like a garbage container
I made watermelon rind pickle on the weekend, it's rather tasty. You pick up some good ideas on BP!
Feel this - I have a "soft upper palate" so I have learnt to eat baguettes upside down.
Your call is important to us... your position in the queue is 103 after all the other things we have to worry about.
Yes cause it is now cheaper to buy an Appliance than it is to buy Groceries!! 🌟
I used to be worth it too, but then they changed what "it" was, and now what I'm worth isn't it.
One of my greatest clothing purchases was a heavy cotton duck jacket with a full-embroidered back for a HVAC maintenance company with a name stitched into the front (brand new, probably at the thrift store because the embroidery was off-center a bit?). Employees leave me alone at the hardware store, I get to use the contractor checkout desk at Home Depot, I bought a water heater at a wholesale contractors' supply company without any markup. And after 15 years its still holding up well.
My psychiatrist told me something similar, yay needing to be so in denial about everything to manage each day!
We in Germany have a joke about that since our foreign minister Annalena Baerbock said that "Putin has to make a 360 degree turn". Guess who is about to be nominated to become president of the UN General Assembly this year.....
It looks like there’s a lot out there but half are fake or sketchy. Wrong ones target you.
Wait, how young are these men? I feel like this music hails from my generation, and I'm in my late 30s.
And the dolphins came out to play with them. What a lovely welcome. .
Does spring just come and stay for y'all on regular years? Because where I'm at, March and April are always very temperamental. This year, we had 6 inches of snow one Sunday and 70° the next day and we all just kinda shrugged it off because that's a normal mountain spring.
It might even be time to retire these twitter posts because…. Well it’s supporting evil.
Load More Replies...I tried Bluesky once. All I saw were bots pretending to be attractive women. And since they weren't in my area, I left.
Load More Replies...I think I would have understood all of them, if they were written in proper English and if the posters had known what punctuation is.
Hey! Mrs. Clemens! You're still alive! You have an extra comma in your predicate.
