Matt talks with the BYU comedy group HumorU about the origin, source, and mechanics of laughter.
Findings from various studies evidence that job satisfaction increases within environments where the boss can effectively utilize humor. Furthermore, amongst aging adults, maintaining a humor-enriched lifestyle has shown to be useful in coping with life and providing individuals with a more satisfaction.
HumorU discusses their ideas about making use of humor in coping with stress and sorrow. Matt talks with the crew about the makings of a comedian and the road to standup comedy. The nature of adolescent upbringings plays a large role in one's ability to be a successful comedian.
Healthy and appropriate humor is critical to lasting relationships. Humor that is based exclusively upon the immediate reaction as opposed to the long term relationship can be potentially harmful. Matt suggests that humor should have an edification element alongside the irony.
