Our brains are wired to seek patterns and predict outcomes. When something completely unexpected occurs, it catches us off guard. This element of surprise triggers a burst of laughter as our brains quickly recalibrate to make sense of the situation. This theory of humor suggests that humor arises from the perception of incongruity or a mismatch between what we expect and what actually happens. When absurdity disrupts our expectations, it creates tension that, when released with humor, results in laughter.
We have compiled a new collection of comics in the next section because finding something absurd or unexpectedly funny is a shared experience. When we laugh at the same bizarre situation as others, it fosters a sense of connection and social bonding. Laughter, in this context, becomes a way to affirm our shared humanity.
