We know a lot about human behavior. We eat for energy to keep us moving. We breathe to bring more oxygen into our blood and to expel carbon dioxide. We blink to keep our eyes moist and sweep away dust particles.We yell to get the attention of someone or a group. We cough to clear our throats and airways of germs, mucus and dust. We shiver to warm up and we sweat to cool down. We understand a lot about why humans do the things they do, but one behavior that isn't so easy to pin down is laughter. Why do we laugh? What purpose does it serve, and why do we seek it through friendship and humor?

Laughter is the best medicine and we should take it daily ❤️
I strongly agree with this statement! 🙂
@@ApertureThinking thank you ♥️
But if you laugh daily for no reason. You need medicine. 😂
@@travelnepal5490 Lmao.
Do it in moderation though because you can get overdosed 😁
''worst funeral ever'' that line had my dying
What if Aperture did a face reveal, but we didn't notice it because it looked like background stock footage?
The magnificent bastard... hes probably already done this right under our noses.
@@IaMaPh1991 lmao
Actually i think I've seen his face I just felt like it was him
Bro HOW do you put out so much amazing content so frequently
It's truly mind boggling, he deserves the best
The usage of 'we'
I think laughter is one of those things that we evolved to have ingrained within our genes and society because it has so many benefits. It's verbal/nonlinguistic communication that anyone can hear. One of my favorite uses of nonverbal communication was in the movie NOPE where scenes with the alien swallowing people were intercut with people screaming. The use of this screaming was equal parts screams of terror and screams of joy from things like a rollercoaster. Laughter can be used in certain contexts as it can make the crazed serial killer more creepy or create tension in a room when the one of the characters knows the other is lying knows but the other is just laughing because its what the situation is required. Laughter can be even more tragic like in Joker as he has a condition that forces him to laugh painfully.
Truly one of.
12 laughillion out of 23 ducks.

We can learn a whole lot about humans by observing babies. Why do they cry tears and laugh? It's strong, basic emotions. It's evolutionary for caring, protecting, understanding, liking, bonding and connecting.
I did not know laughter had LORE.
Loving your channel! One observation I had: although we often laugh at things other than formal jokes in conversation, we’re still laughing at SOMETHING funny - not all laughter in conversation is just that polite “getting along” chuckle. My husband and certain friends have made me straight up GUFFAW just because the conversation took a funny turn or there was funny wordplay between us.
this guy just pumping out quality videos like its nothing
Sometimes I try to spend a day without laughing because my dental is fucked up but then I remember that people light up when they see me, like they actually enjoy me being around them and actually having a laugh. At the end of the day, I just want to look back and say this on my Death bed, "I might have had the worst body health wise but with the people I had around, please, tell them I had a great life."

Wtf
you sound like such a sun, please don't leave physical things beyond your control stop the fun!
Ur dead?
British moment 💀
Laughter is one of my favorite things about existence! Feels good to let off tension and genuinely feel wonderful and warm!
Interesting topic! I have not reflected on the complexity of laughter.
Antoher interesting topic would be why do we feel the need to share information about us with others, or why do we seek to be noticed.
Amazing job as always Aperture!
Have a nice day.
Good to know that you reflect on such things!
Any more interesting topics you ever wondered about?
I don't think everyone seek to be noticed. Think about this. Those who seek to be noticed, those are the 1s we end up noticing because they are here trying in the spotlight, the rest are happy alone most of the time, they don't enter the spotlight in the 1st place to be noticed so most of us prolly only get exposed to 1 kind of humans.
About sharing the information, I think it is a socially learned habit that develops due to association with others who do it, which most of the humans do, I think, haven't surveyed. Sharing information about us feels great since we actively remember it as we are sharing it. It feels good that we're doing something, we're engaging in some activity.
Besides, I don't think there are many things they know to talk about, we enjoy talking to others because of constant stimulation due to problem solving. After we talk, then they talk, then it's sort of a problem that we solve by replying. It's prompt problem solving.
Sharing information/talking loudly/writing about it also brings clarity to 1self, as I'm doing now by thinking over this topic as I also am typing, editing.
@@kepspark3362 Thank you for your comment!
Yes, I actually reflect on a lot of things! sometimes it becomes to much for my brain to prcess 😅
I see you reflect on a lot of things too!
You may be totally right and maybe we are only exposed to one kind of humnas, that thought kinda blew my mind!
Nice point of view on the sharing things topic. I have also thought that it could be an evolutionary trait because I think that those who shared information were more prone to survive that thos who didn't, due to the fact that
Nice to hear about your perspectives, thnak for sharing and replying! 🙂

“A day without laughter is a day wasted.” -Charlie Chaplin.
Yeah I don’t think Chaplin the child abuser should be talking about laughter with the pain his abusive self caused. He was a pervert and drunk and his comedy persona was a bare faced lie.
lol
For myself, a day without music is a day wasted. I'm old enough now and started realising that the days when I don't listen to music has been gloomier compared to the days when i listen to it. Fate has been kind to me and gifted the 12 notes of music in such a way that I'm always happier when i listen to music than the days i merely don't. But that's just me of course.
@@taiteakopyte1286 Nah same tbh, for eg. I lost my ear buds recently, and my mood has been meh at best
@@taiteakopyte1286 true, music is like as if you are spectating an emotion audibly, its so good in a way i cant exactly say, like if a deaf person was going to recover their hearing on a specific time, i would make sure i have a song ready for him.
im currently a biochem major in college and sometimes doubt if i truly have passion for it but this guys videos always makes me remember why i love it so much
dude, I was a biochem major.
run away and be a developer, you have no idea what jobs await for you out there in the biochemistry field, and what illnesses they might bring
@@reuvensg was debating between bio chem and comp sci because I enjoy coding and was quite good at it in high school. Ultimately I chose biochem because I want to be a doctor, so it’s a pre-med thing. Might try to double major with comp sci. Would love to do work with brain computer interfaces someday
There are various types of laughter. Those that arise from a joke that we were unaware of are the result of a process that involves the brain's ability to make predictions. The brain is constantly projecting multiple potential future states, assigning them a probability of occurrence. A joke that makes us laugh out loud is characterized by generating a reality not contemplated in the expectations that the brain unconsciously generates at all times. The aforementioned inability to project is "read" by our brain, initially, as a gigantic failure. Hundredths of seconds later, our neocortex is informed of what happened, outlining the danger that a moment before "visualized" the Unconscious. The tension generated by the supposed failure in the prediction is evacuated through laughter.
Every good joke is characterized by a totally unexpected ending.
Laughter and humor definitely lightens the mood. But why? I guess biologically we need laughter and possibly it's because it has been such an important part of comradery and being kept "in" the group that allowed for group survival. Definitely see the need to be included in everyone, esp kids growing up. Kids will follow along what's cool to satisfy the desperate need to be included. I got excluded a lot so I learned to appreciate much more tangible values like equal rights as one example (such tangible values are easily discarded or pushed down in order to fit in). I guess laughter must have come before language. We could fit in by laughing long before we could communicate with words.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Worse funeral ever! 🤣😂🤣
Make more videos on stem topics, philosophies, history, great minds, space and galaxy, stoicism, personal improvement. I would love to see this type of videos in few weeks
I love this video. Thanks.
Thanks for your support! 🙂
Laughter is a warning to the troop.
ok, but can you explain why i laugh at lettuce
What?!?
Maybe laughter is for survival. It might strengthen the bond of the group if they laugh at the same things, create a good feeling and increase the chance of survival.
Also it releases dopamine in the brain and stress reducing hormones.
We laugh because it's funny.
It's funny because it's true.
nigga doin poetry
No
Can u explain more??
Not.. always? Not really
Laughter is both a weapon and medicine. We laugh to cut. But we also laugh to heal. We laugh to stand our ground with honor. But we also laugh to give ground in humility. We laugh to be wild and fierce. But we also laugh to encourage. Laughter keeps our will to power in check by our will to humor.
I was thinking about this a lot
Be happy not all the time but every time u can,,,,, by fearless soul
so happy your still posting man, I found you like a year or two ago and I like to come back and see what I missed from time to time. Your content is always entertaining at least for me, this channel needs a blow up again you definitely deserve it. I'm always gonna think that your the next LEMMiNO.
5:34 it is the law to say nice
Ah yes, laughter. The malicious and evil force that has been destroying humanity since the beginning of time. I'm so glad Plato is the father of philosophy
What are you talking about 😂
@@lawrenceomorodion6927 aaah, your laughter. It's killing me. please stop
@@kiruthikpranav5047 MUHAHAHAH😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
What 😂😂😂
i can feel my consciousness slipping away slowly..... i am dying of laughter...... my time has come.
thid dude can make videos about farts and it would be a hit
“Why do we fart?”
@@rbwtn that would be the title, lol,
😂
Dude, 11 comments are there but not a single one visible to me.
Bruh the ending caught me so off guard 😂😂😂😂
Laughter is psychological balancer and medicine. Humans have consciousness , and with consciousness comes stress, mental illness, ect. Laughter is the balancing opposite reaction to misery. God and natures gift to humanity.
7:01 I had this concept recently demonstrated to me by a bad AI.
It told me the following joke “ a woman was standing at the pier of a small lake, then she fell in the water, and drowned.”
I asked the AI why it thinks this is funny, it explained that usually people who fall into a lake don’t drown, therefore, it was unexpected and funny….
This gave me a creepy vibe about AI making decisions for us in the future 😬
thats a question ive been thinking about for like years
I laugh when i hear something sad , I laughed when my mom told me that her friend died . I don’t know why i did , I felt so bad and I said sorry multiple times to her 😢
If laughing really means a lack of self-control, *call me batshit insane then.*
Absolutely love your videos mate
Ok, that last one was really funny...!
Where do you get your photos and videos from? They look really beautiful.
stock videos
probably like adobe stock or something
he pays for them - it's not free
Exactly
11:49 Great ending. I actually laughed out loud, but I also love how it went back to reference one of the subjects he explained earlier
Same and and then after the video ended I realised the purpose of that ending 😂
We laugh, because the alternative is crying. 😂😢
damn
not sure how this channel can create that good level of audio quality
We laugh because we haven't got a clue of when we'll die. If we know that so...no one will laugh. Simply that much suffices the answer in a rough sense.
The ending: 😔
also The ending: 😂
I laughed in this video just because I learned something new (and someone just laughed or chuckled to this comment)
6:38 there was an attempt to cover the logo
Love you're work! Keep up the good work!
Worst funeral ever indeed. 😂
Henri Bergson says that laughter is a mechanism, a human reflex to protect himself from the unusual things. He uses the example of theatre. It is much too complex to explain here, so I suggest that you read his book : Laughter, an essay on the meaning of the comic.
The very existence of everything is vague and meaningless.
That's funny. I couldn't stop laughing! 🤣😂
😹🤣lmao
thx internet, for everything
5:34
Nice
I had to
'The escalators cannot break they simply become stairs'
The authentic wisdom of Kabbalah explains laughter (and crying btw) quite easily. If you understand that reality is made of two opposite forces, then laughter is a kind of "short circuit" that helps you bridge two opposites that shouldn't (or wouldn't) normally go together. To put it in more relatable terms, Humor removes from us all the puffed up clothing we put on. It is as if it undresses us from all the poses and masks, making us all equal and simple. When we laugh together about weaknesses that are in all of us alike, we immediately create a softer relationship between us.
There is no stronger means than humor to eliminate boundaries, barriers, and distances. The great challenge of our time, the most serious one, is to develop humor to bring people closer to each other, to make us more connected.
Thats a nice explaination.Thank you
2:35 you accidentally left the music track on that portion of the video! Oopsie! I know i've done that mistake before!
3:46 as well for a tick!
Don’t forget to smile.
Good Question
The only thing this vid was missing was a laugh track at the end 😜
That's an interesting thought... 🙂
I love this saying: Some people need to be shamed with laughter for how they act, if this person is never made aware it will continue their irritating or foolish behavior.
you also have to take into consideration he risked his entire families savings all because he had a strong belief in his idea. we all have huge ideas but we dont always take the risk do we.
Sometimes i forget this dudes human😂
or an ai lol🤣
5:56 klcc
Interesting to come across this video while reading "Stranger in a strange land". One of the things Mike (the MC) struggles to understand about humans is laughter and the reason why we laugh, in fact , he is actually frightened by it when he first hears it. You could even say that Mike doesn't truly become human until he learns how to laugh. I won't give his interpretation of laughter to avoid spoilers.
Funny u assume I even speak throughout my day... .. no living a quite gamer life 💀
I also laugh at the wrong time too..... ;-; i dunno... It's... I can't help it. My brain weird hshahah
Yeah yeah great video as always!
But did you get the 50 bucks?
Great insight, I've always wondered this.
Glad to have sated your curiosity.
Was this a re-upload?
Here's a joke... ( Hope u laugh 😜)
There were three man lost in a forest ( The Zulu man, The Pedi man and The venda man)
They then got caught by cannibals, the men asked over again to be let free.
The king of the cannibals gave them a test and if they passed they will be set free...
The first trial was to look for ten fruits of the same kind in the forest.
They all rushed out, then the Zulu man came back with grapes...he was then ordered to swallow all the grapes without making any expression on the face or he will be killed..
He swallowed the first 4grapes and on the fith one he choked, as he was so confident... Then he got killed...
The pedi man came with grapes also he was ordered to do the same... But on the ninth one he laughed 😂... Then he got killed
They both went to heaven... Then the Zulu man asked the Pedi man "Why did u laugh, you could have got away with the trial ? "
The Pedi man answered "I couldn't help it when i saw the venda man coming with watermelons 🍉
😂😂😂😂😂
Hope this got you well...
Infact reply with your funniest joke
😹😹😹😹😭😭😭😭😭😭
I think it would be really helpful if you give us some references on where you get this knowledge from
watching this, now we know how messed up Joker is....
Yooo nice vid
To restore our sanity.
5:32 😆
Why don’t we laugh better question
outlaw comedy?!?!?!
Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 12days.
Wow! How's that possible please I'll appreciate your assistance on how to go about it.
I got Benito's recommendations in December 2021 and started following her lead and made $23,450 in a week. Lost my job in January 2022 and right now I'm back on top again and ready to go with her guidance.
@Naomi Eveland Hey, I invested largely on stock market last year, tried some index but my experience doesn't pay me. I have lost so much trading by myself Please is there any handle or link can get to her?
Benito's concept is key in beating all odds to excel in this form of online commodity. Her management team is quite impressive so far! With $4k I made a profit of over 28,863 dollar
Crypto Trading remains a priority, I'm proudly a huge beneficiary of Benito Revilla services. About a month ago sold most of my stocks at a lost and took what I have and reinvested and those stocks were green today. I gained over $30k.
If you really really think about it almost all humor hence laughing comes from different levels of tragedy in one form or another.
Nice
pre video comment:
'Because its funny'
Laughter is a social construct-
It is not
I started laughing uncontrollably on a plane once. It was stressful because nobody else was laughing...
How does that even happen?!
We laugh because we can preceptionalize about something we can connect to from our own journey...chill!
We laugh because certain things are funny, that is the explanation. 👍🏻
Yes just like my life 👍
“Humans laugh because something is wrong”-some quote from a book
I often wondered this myself, I would almost rather fart in situations where I know that I shouldn't laugh. Otr
Just finished watching a meme compilation, and with the laughing in the background it was hard for me not to chuckle
What about joker?
I think it would be a great idea to do a video on if smiling is contagious as a follow-up to this video. Great video btw
ok
1:58 non ligical missinterpretation. Ignorance is like asocial.
Laughter is medicine
fax
we also laugh when we're enjoying how something feels.
Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds...
Dang now about laughter?
Laughter is healing
shower thoughts pls
Sad to see that the boy is on the grind and the algorithm is just clapping his cheeks and giving no views. Keep up the work, you'll blow up eventually 😉
Why do you think the algorithm is messing with him?
@@DarkMatterThaFirst he doesnt get a lot of views :(
@@Alpacher Ik he use to get a lot of views before but why has it reduced? Do you think it's intentional because people at TH-cam don't like some of things he's posting/censoring him or is it just bad algorithm luck?
These are questions you need to learn to ask. Always question everything.
@@DarkMatterThaFirst Yeah bro, cant say anything about the censorship part, but the algorithm def doesn't like him. All his videos are of such a high quality and it's such a shame that he's not getting the recognition that he deserves 😔
