Monty Python once wrote a sketch about "the funniest joke in the world," in which an accomplished comedian wrote a joke so funny that he died of laughter while writing it, and anyone who heard the joke suffered the same fate. The rest of the skit is all about how society would handle the joke, and it's all funny and worth watching. But, the idea of such a joke got me thinking about whether or not such a thing could exist. Not only that, but is there anything that is considered funny by anyone who hears it? |

Thank you, Maddox, for a close look at exactly how likely it is that your Rick James impersonation will win you laughs and popularity: |

I find people who are amused by life are usually able to convey what they find humorous. It's all in the perception. Love life and laugh at it, and you will be able to help others do the same. Be miserable, self-centered, pessimistic and cynical, and that's what you'll communicate. |

In all seriousness, on two separate occasions, I have laughed so hard that I have thrown up. ** It's okay. Take a minute to get a good mental image of that. ** I suppose the next step is laughing so hard I die. |

All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream. ~Edgar Allen Poe
Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare. ~H.F. Hedge
“Funny” is relative. A phrase is funny if a particular person perceives it as absurb. However, what is perceived as absurd and/or illogical is dependent on the culture in which the perceiver is in. For example, I often hear of atheists believing that various concepts in religion are funny due to their absurdity. However, person B, religious person would find a joke that centered around this to be far less funny than the atheists. This is because that which is held as absurd in the joke actually corresponds to person B’s perspective on reality. This rule also holds true for plays on words such as puns as well. The reason jokes are less funny the second time they are told is due to the fact that unpredictability also heavily figures into the equation of what is considered funny. |

my friends say that I have excellent "Timing." I couldn't figure out what they meant for a while, I thought they meant that I was always on time (because I usually am). Then I realized that when I make a joke "without missing a beat," I can feel the exact moment that will maximize the effect. don't you get this rising sensation that lets you know just when to make a crack? is there an objective way to figure out what that time was if one didn't get the feeling? |

Oohhumm
Oh yeah. When a spontaneous joke is at hand, I feel like it's the one possible thing in the world to say. Like if I don't say this right then and there I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life. This is good for making jokes, but bad for getting along with people who offend easily. I don't know many ways to get better at it other than being around other people who are good at it. |

Entertaining myself is easy. I see humor in so very much... from the truly bizarre "workings" of government to the extremes people go to in order to maintain dignity and on and on. (Charlie Chaplain's humor was all about this very common theme... people trying to maintain dignity in the face of humiliating circumstances.) |

This is what really interests me , the inner workings of the human mind . Like say if you 'come up' with a funny comment right at that moment , you didnt consciously come up with it , your sub-conscious did . It makes you wonder , how much stuff our conscious mind really does come up with , i think the answer is that the subconscious is constantly ticking away and instantly knows the answer to any question that is asked of it , its just that to "know" the answer consciously you have to have good neural connections between the workings of the conscious and subconscious areas of thought . And maybe training these pathways by positively reinforcing them when things happen right is just how we learn and get smarter , but in reality we know the answer , or atleast our sub-conscious does , you just have to train the conscious mind to get in touch with the sub-conscious . |
