25、ied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factorsthat make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, therewill usually be more than one re
26、ason that makes him laughand the more reasons there are, themore powerful the joke will be.I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun ofpedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those peoplestrongly laughed was that al
27、most all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streetscarelessly. The joke wasnt only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right aboutbeing angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke andbecause of the happiness experienced as
28、 a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells ajoke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend
29、seem stupid, then you will probablylaugh at it louder than if you werent jealous of him.In short, we dont laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when weexperience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage maki
