Laughter as a Scientific and Social Phenomenon
Jim Bishop surveys laughter as a simple yet cruel response to the ridiculous. He cites Chaplin as a centuries‑old target of laughter and threads in Darwin Spencer and Byron to explain laughter as a physiological or social symptom rather than an emotion. He notes formats of controlled laughter as politeness and recalls two individuals with infectious laughter Porter and Herman whose shared moment ended with a contagious audience laugh.
