Why “SUBERI WARAI” Is Funny: Using “Suberu Hanashi” As a Data

50_e158_attribute17_Humor_丸文字

In our past study about “Suberanai Hanashi”, in the point of view of KYOHANSEI (“Complicity”) and Incongruity Theories, we have found that there are four patterns of humor experiences after the punch line. Based on that, what we observe in this study is “SUBERI WARAI”, which was not able to be categorized in either pattern above. We will approach to this “SUBERI WARAI” by showing a new pattern of humor experience, and a new type of KYOHANSEI “Chinmoku Kyohan”: a “silence” after SUBERI which helps humor to be experienced.
