How often do you laugh at somebody’s bad joke? How many times did you laugh at upon you didn’t understand?
It happens a lot, mostly because we just want to fit in.
Ask yourself the question, how often did you have to look up the meaning of a joke when we’re to understand it? Don’t feel bad, over half of the people studied by a professor of neuroscience had to as well.
So what confuses people the most about certain jokes? The words that are used and very abstract concepts.
