If the joke is good, even an idiot will laugh. If a joke is good, people with different sense of humour will laugh. For example, we all laugh at the fat girl who slip and fell and her face landing on a pile of cow dung. That is a good joke.
@HoSayLiaoLah A fat person falling, funny as it may be, wouldnt be a "joke". I dont think you know what a joke is. And if a joke is referencing something (like a historical event or figure) and a person doesnt understand the reference, they wont find that joke funny. You cant just lump jokes into "good" and "bad"
@Ilikepiemonkeys97 my thoughts exactly... I'm like, you say you have an IQ of over 130 yet you don't know how to stop Prof. Kaku from appearing in your TV? I guess those test aren't good for much except giving people, that are as smart as a rock, a misguided sense of intelligence
@7StringSeven I've been tested 3 X for my IQ and each has been over 135, so this guy has an IQ of 1350? I've told you BILLIONS of times, don't exaggerate! Hawkins is smart too, doesn't mean either of them have any social graces. This guy may have smarts but he's still a dumbass and a dick for being so damn smug and condescending. In terms of social smarts he's at risk of rapidly vanishing from the gene pool...
@7StringSeven OK, I'll fuck off if you can get your little bumchum friend to fuck off my TV? I'm sick to death of his pseudo depth as he asks dumfuk "questions" while advertising whatever cable channel he's pimping. Get him to drop the condescending smirk and acting like he's talking to 3 year old and I'll happily shut up. Until then he is and remains a dick and I'll say so, alright?
Pretty sure it has been realized that genes are reactionary and can adapt and change. A genetically lactose intolerant organism surrounded by nothing but lactose for food in an isolated environment will not only survive but thrive. This kinda puts a hole in genetic research.
yeah, he is trolling. sense of humor is too complex a phenomenon to operationalize, both biologically and psychologically (believe me, some cognitive neuroscientists have tried!). longitudinal studies are impossible on this. also, 'funniness' varies across cultures quite drastically. isolating a single, causal gene is rather impossible in this day and age. you can correlate genes to funniness, but this doesn't say anything. being born correlates to being funny too. ain't that real cause though!
@tommmy911 Genes, fool..not to be mistaken for Gene the name, like Gene Siskel or Gene Simmons. You are thinking Jeans like the Levi pants kind of jean, though jeans can have genes Gene's genes and his jeans gene are all matter of the same universe. Of course this is all basic theoretical bakings. Stay informed friend.
@MrAndydotcom I see you are educated in the manner of wit and sarcasm. Sarcasm..NOT orgasm, I cannot stress that enough, though when I'm with a woman I cannot tell if it is orgasm or sarcasm but there you go. Also, I don't think you fully respect what jeans can do. They keep you clothed and warm and protected from the elements, but not all the elements from the periodic table so be careful if you play with uranium even if you're wearing jeans, cuz they won't protect your genes.
@MrAndydotcom Well please enlighten me then, I may be a slow learner but once learnt, the information is on lock down like a clown with an upside down frown..haha I rapped, I should be a rapper AND a physicist and be a rapping Michio Einstein...Thank you good friend, for allowing me to see my calling. May Jesus bless your soul follower or the righteous path.
@mercanaries3 Uh, faggot is a noun and gay is an adjective. I'm pretty sure they're not the same thing, perhaps similar but not the same. A faggot is also a British term for a cigarette. And the way I was trying to state my message was; "Lol real gay, faggot". But I was not expecting you to correct me for my most smallest mistakes.
Why are we discussing the negative interpretations of potentially homophobic language? I thought this video was about locating and isolating the 'funny gene.' I'll now exemplify my sense of humor by typing the words "ha ha ha" instead of retorting to the commonly used abbreviation, "LOL." Here I go: Ha ha ha!
@abigword Sortof. Personally I wouldn't compare Michio to Carl though. It's not that I don't like Michio, but he's a tad bit arrogant, and he seems to tailor his material to the audience in way that seems to assume most of us are morons--in a condescending way. Carl Sagan presented things simply, yes, but never condescendingly.
Well i am very proud to announce that Michio has announced that scientist announced that they found the funny gene, so if you come unannounced to the party halfway into the joke and don't get it, your stupid
Scientists believe that humor (or what causes us to laugh) is the absence of danger (or threat) in a situation that would otherwise seem dangerous. A perfect example of this would be any one of the Jack Links Messin' with Sasquach commercials -- where people abandon reason to play pranks on a Mythical creature who seemingly would otherwise kill them, lol.
Well thats interesting... so if one learns to be sociable and thus "funny", was this gene recessive and suddenly sparked into life? It seems a funny thing to put down to a specific gene, I dont know... thats why im not on youtube lol
He's a god dam wizard!
