    Pretty sure I’ve never seen anyone properly explain humor, even humor everyone in the conversation gets. But thanks for expressing it’s not for you.

      I would like to say that while I do think lasagna and cock is funny, I think it saying gay Garfield and then hmm just thinking mmmm lasagna might be even funnier due to lack of context.

      there are a lot of studies in humor. There’s things like commedia dell’Arte, or Ecole Gaulier, The Seven Causes of Laughter, there’s hundreds of books on improv, joke writing, sitcom writing, stand up.

      I’ve made a few comments around Lemmy diving into some of the theory behind it, but people get kinda tetchy when you get technical about it.
