Psychologists are less likely to say that is, if if yout point out something that's really damning, then we have to go back in like, tou ten more experiments or whatever. You can't get a footnote and say, thank you to tanler somers for pointing out this particular flaw in my argument. Ee, i go and get another grant.

Dave and Tamler break the cardinal rule of comedy by trying to analyze it. What are the origins and functions of humor? Can a theory explain what makes us laugh? Is humor entirely subjective?
