Oh, yes. Humor is built on relations. You’re going to laugh at something if you connect with it. If I told you a dramatic story about the day I had a cold shower, you’d be far more likely to laugh than if I told you about the day my cousins and I played a board game. Why? Because you know what cold showers are like. (Hopefully… or this is a terrible analogy… XD) But you don’t know my cousins. So what we did… it wouldn’t be funny to you. Maybe it would if we had said something funny. But you’d relate to a cold shower more and understand the pain they bring. (;

We laugh because we feel happy, and we feel happy when we connect to and relate to other people.
