What scenarios make people laugh?

    Exaggerated reality - Things that remind us that other peoples situations, feelings and reactions are similar to our own. Showing the mundane in a silly light lets us recognize ourselves. The exaggeration drops our guard and makes us free to laugh at things like vulnerability, embarrassment, fear and even pain. So any scene can be funny or not funny. It depends most on the human reaction to these things. A funeral is sad. Someone giving a eulogy isn't funny. But someone that took Nyquil instead of Dayquil before giving it, might be funny.

    All kinds, there are way to many to name. Watching a person walk out of a bathroom in a public place is hilarious to some, mean to others. It's all in the person and what brand of sense of humor they have. :P

    Pie in the face and kick to the groin. In other words: pain, so long as it is other people's.
