The class was taught by Ryan, a professional comedian.I had performed a show, which wasnt originally meant to be a comedy. However, the audience laughed at my first joke, then continued to laugh throughout the routines that were meant to be serious. So it was the audience who told me I was funny, but I didn t understand why or how to control the comic (滑稽的) moments. So, I joined the course to learn.“Turn off your editor that makes you say the right thing and remember how to be a child,” explained Ryan. “Dont try to be clever. Dont try too hard to be funnyand knowing all about the theory of humor is unlikely to help you much. Just behave in a silly way. Thats what people want to see on stage.”Ryan would help us loosen up by saying things like, “Wander around talking to others, but make sure that youre the lowest status person here.”I d say that understanding the psychology of humor has actually helped. Recently I came across the book Inside Jokes: Using Humor to Reverse-Engineer the Mind. Its main idea is that any self-directed intelligent system will need to correct its own fault. Theres a risk that the occasional error will be made. If this was boring or burdensome, wed be less willing to do it. However, evolution has made the process fun.Heres a joke in the book: Two fish are in a tank. One says to the other, “Do you know how to drive this thing?” It works on the principle that we have started to imagine one thingthat the tank is the typical container people keep fish inand, just in time, the following words tell us that our first assumption was wrongits a heavy vehicle. For correctly figuring out the error, we are rewarded with a pleasurable feeling. The joke is an efficient way of encouraging this natural reaction, and comedians have become experts in slightly touching this mental funny-bone in order to make us laugh.Ryan was right when he said that knowing the theory of humor wouldnt help us that much
