What is funny?

As a creator of funny videos, my answer may not be so funny. After all, the question is &”;What is funny&”; rather than asking me to tell funny jokes ~ So from this perspective, I will talk about what I think is funny and the theory that constitutes it. (1) Inconsistency Theory As a video creator, I don&;t say that I have read countless films, but I still have more interest in videos than the average person. I have dabbled in both Japanese anime and short vibrato videos. In the past few days, I happened to see an aunt &”;Miss Guo&”; who is popular on the Internet. Let&;s take her as an example. People often smile because of some unexpected behaviors. This is the so-called incoordination theory. In popular parlance, someone around you asks 1 1 equals. Even if he doesn&;t ask you, your brain will automatically respond to 2, but what can be predicted by your brain will lose its irritation. Generally speaking, if you are resistant to it, it will naturally have no effect. Therefore, according to this theory, on the contrary, as long as the result deviates from your expectation, the greater the deviation, the more you can laugh, just like when Teacher Guo eats &”;hotel&”; live, you can&;t predict her next second. Another example is Wang Jingze, who is clanking with an iron frame. One second you thought he was really clanking with an iron frame, and the next second he was holding a bowl &”;really fragrant&”;, so it was so ridiculous and the contrast effect was one of the essence of funny. (2) The theory of tension release. I have read this theory on an academic website before, saying that Freud believed that laughter can help human beings vent their emotions and release their sense of oppression. In other words, this means that we sometimes laugh because of emotional alternation. In the Japanese cartoons I have contacted, Such sc《银魂》《日常》《女子高中生的无所事事》《男子高中生的日常》. In the early stage of a story, they constantly exaggerate the surrounding atmosphere, either horror or nervousness. For example, in the Silver Soul, the protagonist group sneaked into the enemy&;s stronghold in order to knock down a BOSS. Obviously, the surrounding atmosphere was tense, but the protagonist suddenly picked up his nose and made a funny expression, and BGM became relaxed. At this time, you will feel that this is more or less incompatible with the atmosphere just now, right? Finally, the tension is diluted, and your mood is relaxed, so you laugh unconsciously. The above is the funny nature of my two points. Of course, there will be other people who have other explanations. There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people&;s hearts. I think these discussions are not right or wrong, so it is good for you to recognize them yourself.
