Why Jokes Work

Why do we laugh at jokes, even dark ones? 🤔 In this video, we break down the psychology of humor using Sigmund Freud's theory. You'll see how a punchline works in your mind, why some jokes feel "naughty" but satisfying, and what laughter really releases. 🧠 What you'll learn: • The anatomy of a joke • The "economy of expenditure": how jokes save mental energy • Joke techniques: faulty thinking, unification, irony and exaggeration • Why we laugh at vulgar, aggressive, cynical and skeptical jokes • How dreams and jokes differ (private vs. social) • Why humor takes us back to a carefree, restriction-free childhood 😂 Which joke made you laugh the most?
