What actually happens in your brain when something suddenly becomes funny? Why do some jokes make one person burst into laughter while another just stares in confusion? And what does it really mean when we say someone “has a sense of humour”? In this guided discussion, psychologist Leon will explore the strange and fascinating psychology of humour, from the mental twists that make punchlines work to the deeper social and emotional reasons humans laugh in the first place.

Together we’ll look at why humour exists, why it’s so powerful in friendships, relationships, and communication, and what separates someone who simply tells jokes from someone who is genuinely funny. Along the way we’ll explore how humour shapes the way we see the world, and why laughter might be one of the healthiest, smartest, and most human things we do. Expect surprising ideas, curious observations, and plenty of moments that make you think… and probably laugh.

当一件事突然变得好笑的时候，大脑里到底发生了什么？为什么同一个笑话，有的人会笑到停不下来，而有的人却一脸懵？还有，我们常说一个人“有幽默感”，这到底是什么意思？在这场引导式讨论中，心理学家 Leon 会带大家一起看看幽默背后那些有点奇妙的心理机制：从让段子成立的思维反转，到人类为什么会笑这种更深层的社交和情绪原因。

大家会一起聊聊幽默为什么会存在，它为什么在友情、亲密关系和沟通中这么重要，以及一个只是会讲笑话的人，和一个真正“好笑的人”之间到底差在哪。过程中也会看看幽默是怎么影响我们看世界的方式，以及为什么笑这件事，可能是我们最自然、也很有价值的一种行为。这会是一场既有趣又有思考空间的讨论：会有一些挺新鲜的想法，也会有不少让人“原来是这样”的瞬间，当然，可能也会不自觉地笑出来。
