With the popularity of weird and cringy dad jokes soaring, it’s only fair to wonder what it is about them that people find them so entertaining. This relatively new humor sub-genre has been taking the internet by storm with Dad Says Jokes on Instagram leading the pack with a whopping 2.3M followers.

Previously, we spoke with Sophie Scott, a British neuroscientist and Wellcome Trust Senior Fellow at University College London, to find out more about humor and why we find some things particularly funny and others not so much. Sophie researches neuroscience of voices, speech and laughter, particularly speech perception, speech production, vocal emotions, and human communication, so she shared some very interesting insights.

It turns out that there are different theories of humor and what makes things funny. Sophie said it may be “the idea that sometimes you laugh because it makes you feel better about yourself, you feel superior to tell the joke.” Other theories say that “you laugh because there’s some sort of complexity set up and then it’s resolved and that’s part of getting the joke.”

The reason we laugh may also have to do with “some kind of taboo” which is okay when mentioned in the joke context. “Or often,” Sophie continued: “we laugh because laughter is behavior associated in humans and other mammals with play.”

Moreover, Sophie believes that jokes have less to do with our absolute personalities and more with who we are and our life experiences. The things we find funny may also be directly influenced by the relationship with the person who’s telling the joke.

“If you don’t like someone or if you think they’re up to no good, you’re very unlikely to find their jokes funny,” Sophie explained and added: “Or if you don’t realize someone’s being funny, you won’t find it funny. Whereas if you like someone, you’re gonna find what they say funnier.” That’s also true for the fact that if you know the person to be a comedian, which means they’re a funny person, you are more likely to find that joke very funny, according to Sophie.

As for the dad jokes, it’s quite a different story. Hailed as the cringiest jokes out there, they entertain because they happen in a home setting and are performed by the dad himself. Of course, today, dad jokes have become a broader concept that defines overly punny jokes that sound as if they were described by dad. It no longer means that only dad can say such jokes. Quite on the contrary, it’s their kids who throw these funny one-liners around at the family reunion party.
