Humor is an omnipresent chameleon, a misunderstood shape-shifter. To understand how it works, I talked to a bunch of researchers, including @PeterMcGraw + @calebwarren at @HumorResearch to explain what makes things funny, according to science. vox.com/the-highlight/…
Why comedy is a vital strategic tool for #advertising, and what its disappearance may really mean. We review #TheHumorCode: the-agency-review.com/humor-code/ #comedy #humor #humour #laughter @simonschuster @HumorResearch @HumorCode @PeterMcGraw @joelmwarner
An excellent primer on humor research across different fields of social psychology (though I may be biased; I coauthored the chapter on disparagement humor!)
Out now: The Social Psychology of Humor. It was wonderful to co-edit this volume with Thomas E. Ford, and to collaborate with a group of wonderful humor scholars @BoazHameiri @ABFrymier @GordonHodsonPhD @ElviraPrusaczyk @wanzermb routledge.com/The-Social-Psy…

As you may know, I also host a newish podcast. I had @shanecomedy and @Jenodd on to talk about lessons from the book for singles. petermcgraw.org/shtick-to-solo/
The best part of Shtick to Business are the special contributions from @shanecomedy. For example, take a look at this gem from him about "the rule of three."

What makes things funny | Peter McGraw | TEDxBoulder
Learn how to find the humor in problems: What comedians do well is see "associations between disparate, typically incompatible elements," a skill that can help business leaders solve thorny problems. sbne.ws/r/FxCi @LinRod @SBLeaders @PeterMcGraw @HumorResearch
The benign violation theory gets a shout from @jimmycarr. thenational.ae/arts-culture/o… Thanks, Jimmy. CC @HumorResearch
jokes & 'psychological distancing' help us thru tough times, argues @PeterMcGraw @HumorResearch Lab (HuRL) @CUBoulder buff.ly/2zE0qrH ""One of the things that is incredible about the human condition is our ability to find moments of levity, even in the worst situations"
Don't try to be funny, THINK funny, says @PeterMcGraw of @HumorResearch and @HumorCode. Try thinking in reverse to overcome the status quo bias or "shitstorming" to generate crazy ideas that might actually work. #Nudgestock2020 #behavioralscience @OgilvyConsultUK
Have you seen more funny videos circulating online lately? @HumorResearch director @PeterMcGraw attributes this to people having more time to think and connect with others. Listen to Peter's interview on SpotOn! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/41-…
I like talking about writing -- almost as much as I like writing. Thanks, Shane.
Loved this book, and author @PeterMcGraw: How to write like Peter McGraw, author of Shtick to Business and The Humor Code blog.shanesnow.com/how-to-write-l…
Good people, still some spots left (evidently there is a limited number...). I have Shtick's lessons to address pandemic-related problems. bit.ly/3dZrIYT
Good people, here is another episode of I'M NOT JOKING that is designed to accompany my book launch. I talk to my good friend and special contributor to #shticktobusiness: Meet @shanecomedy! petermcgraw.org/shtick-to-busi…
Bingo! Coming up on the sixth year anniversary of The Humor Code, too.
Featuring research from HuRL....
Any San Diego friends interested? I know the speaker and can get you in.
Hugh Taft-Morales speaks about humor and theories about what makes us laugh. He recommends the Humor Research Lab (HuRL) @HumorResearch which researches theories like incongruity, relief, and benign violation.
Thanks for the shout out, and I've got some research to do on the other fantastic resources!
@HumorResearch saw this and remembered your ted talk, but then wondering why someone took the time to smudge out someone on the bottom left
