People tell jokes because they want to make others laugh, and themselves feel happy too. When you hear a joke, it feels surprising or silly, which makes your brain go 'Oh, that’s funny!' and you can’t help but smile or even laugh out loud. Jokes are like little magic tricks for the mind, and people enjoy sharing them with each other because they bring joy to conversations.
Examples
- Two friends walk into a bar, one says a joke about the bartender, and both burst out laughing.
- At dinner, your mom tells a silly story that ends with a joke, you all laugh and feel happy.
