That can't be true.

這不可能是真的。

You may not like this joke like this joke, definitely not like this joke, and it feels like joke preference changes from person to person.

你可能不喜歡這個笑話喜歡這個笑話，絕對不喜歡這個笑話，感覺笑話喜好因人而異。

But what if I told you that scientists have found a joke that is rated as the funniest?

但如果我告訴你，科學家們發現了一個被評為最搞笑的笑話呢？

But before I got to the funniest joke in the world, I'm going to explain to you what makes something funny.

但在我講到世界上最有趣的笑話之前，我要向你解釋一下什麼東西才是有趣的。

Why comedians keep getting canceled show you a video of the first time I ever attempted stand up and end with what survey say is the funniest joke in the world.

為什麼喜劇演員一直被取消給你看一段視頻，我第一次嘗試站起來，最後用調查說是世界上最有趣的笑話。

In order to understand how scientists study jokes, you must first understand what makes something funny.

為了瞭解科學家是如何研究笑話的，你必須首先了解是什麼讓一件事變得有趣。

It is found that on average, people last 17.5 times per day.

研究發現，人們平均每天要堅持17.5次。

I don't know what a 0.5 laugh is like.

我不知道0.5的笑聲是什麼樣子。

A and a good sense of humor tends to always be one of the highest rated traits for friends, for spouses and even love us.

A和良好的幽默感往往總是朋友、配偶甚至是愛情我們評價最高的特質之一。

Why are we so attracted to funny?

為什麼我們會被搞笑吸引？

It is predicted that human language evolved between 80,000 to 160,000 years ago, pushed by the evolutionary advantage of storytelling, evolutionary biologists think it is because as a pack it would have been helpful to tell stories about that other pacto you know, talk about the dude over there who's kind of like killing everyone or to maybe be like Wait where the Berries at where the barriers.

據預測，人類語言在8萬到16萬年前進化，由講故事的進化優勢推動，進化生物學家認為，這是因為作為一個包，它會有幫助，講故事的另一個契約，你知道，談論那邊的紈絝子弟，誰的那種像殺了大家，或者也許是像等待在哪裡的漿果在哪裡的障礙。

That in fact, a lot of theorists think that at first our language evolved as gossip away, to sort of parse out in like talk smack about the people around you in order to keep yourself safe by understanding who was dangerous and who was on your side.

那事實上，很多理論家認為，最初我們的語言是作為八卦離開進化的，為了瞭解誰是危險的，誰是站在你這一邊的，以保證自己的安全，在像談論周圍的人的咂舌。

Humor and laughing, on the other hand, evolved as a signal to yourself and to others that things were safe, that things were okay as hunter gatherers when we were laughing and when we were telling jokes, it meant that it was time to play, to socialize and explore.

另一方面，幽默和大笑，演化成一種信號，向自己和他人發出安全的信號，作為獵人採集者，當我們在笑的時候，當我們在講笑話的時候，意味著該玩了，該社交了，該探索了。

That's why we still enjoy jokes now and comedians now and humorous things because it's actually a sign that we are in fact safe, which is really fascinating because in order to understand the best joke in the world, you have to understand what it means to feel safe and unsafe at the same time known as the benign violation theory.

這就是為什麼我們現在還喜歡看笑話，喜歡看現在的喜劇演員，喜歡看幽默的東西，因為這其實是我們其實很安全的一個標誌，這真的很吸引人，因為要理解世界上最好的笑話，你必須理解什麼叫安全感和不安全感同時存在，被稱為良性侵犯理論。

A joke requires three things.

一個笑話需要三樣東西。

One in unsafe violation of a situation to a flip of that situation.

一個在不安全的情況下違反對該情況的翻轉。

So it feels safe.

所以感覺很安全。

And three, both perceptions must occur simultaneously.

而三，這兩種認知必須同時發生。

Okay, this can sound confusing, but there is a clear metaphor to understand.

好吧，這聽起來可能很混亂，但有一個明確的比喻可以理解。

And remember this theory.

並記住這個理論。

If a friend tickles you, they are in fact violating you.

如果朋友給你撓癢癢，其實就是在侵犯你。

But it feels safe because you know them.

但感覺很安全，因為你認識他們。

While you can laugh, you can have a little giggle.

在你能笑的同時，你也可以笑一笑。

You could say Stop, get off.

你可以說停，下車。

But if a stranger on the bus tickles you, yes, they are violating you.

但如果公車上有陌生人給你撓癢癢，是的，他們就是侵犯了你。

But there's no flip of that situation that feels safe.

但這種情況下，沒有一絲絲的安全感。

You feel unsafe.

你覺得不安全。

You push them away.

你把他們推開。

You got upset.

你生氣了。

You don't laugh.

你不笑。

Maybe you pop their eyeballs out with your thumbs.

也許你用拇指把他們的眼球彈出來。

It's a completely different situation.

這是一個完全不同的情況。

A good joke has to feel safe and unsafe at the same time.

一個好的笑話，既要有安全感，又要有不安全感。

In fact, scientists took people and put them in an FMRI machine and made them watch The Simpsons and Seinfeld and found that joke detection occurred in the left inferior frontal and posterior temporal courtesies of the left side of the brain.

事實上，科學家們把人放進FMRI機器裡，讓他們看《辛普森一家》和《塞恩費爾德》，發現笑話檢測發生在大腦左側下額葉和後顳宮。

That was a lot of big words, but This is the part of the brain that tries to make sense of contrasts and look for resolutions in our lives.

這是一個很大的字，但這是大腦的一部分，試圖讓我們的生活中的對比和尋找決議的意義。

Comedians have a brilliant way of talking about things that feel taboo.

喜劇演員有一種高明的方式來談論那些感覺禁忌的事情。

Maybe we don't want to say them out loud the darkest thoughts that we might have and flipping them to feel resolved and safe so that we can laugh.

也許我們不想把自己可能會有的最黑暗的想法說出來，翻開它們，覺得解決了，安全了，我們才會笑。

And it is also why there could be such stark contrast between what you think it's funny and what someone else does.

這也是為什麼你覺得好玩的東西和別人的東西會有如此鮮明的對比。

A lot of straight white male comedians air coming under fire recently for saying jokes that they think are safe but audiences are telling them now are offensive.

很多直男白人喜劇演員最近因為說了一些他們認為安全的笑話而受到抨擊，但觀眾現在告訴他們這些笑話很有攻擊性。

This is really fascinating because a lot of these jokes are at the expense of women or queer people or people of color.

這真的很吸引人，因為很多這些笑話都是以犧牲婦女或同性戀者或有色人種為代價的。

And historically, comedians have mostly bean, white and male.

而歷史上，喜劇演員多為豆、白、男。

In the 19 seventies, Onley 2% of professional stand up comedians were women in the 19 nineties, 20% of professional stand up comedians for women, and now it's only 35% of professional stand up comedians that are women.

在七十年代，昂利2%的職業脫口秀演員是女性，在九十年代，20%的職業脫口秀演員為女性，而現在只有35%的職業脫口秀演員是女性。

But it does mean that new voices have emerged in the comedies Fear and comedy has essentially evolved because audiences are going to feel more safe, seeing a woman make fun of a woman or a queer person making fun of the queer experience and by proxy, these people are going to be better at telling these jokes at making their audiences feel safe while talking about the taboo things that come along with being a queer person.

但這確實意味著在喜劇中出現了新的聲音恐懼和喜劇本質上的發展，因為觀眾會感到更安全，看到一個女人取笑一個女人或一個同性戀者取笑同志的經驗，並通過代理，這些人將更好地講述這些笑話在讓觀眾感到安全的同時，談論作為一個同性戀者的禁忌的事情。

For example, this now leaves the white men to have to think of new ways to make the benign violation theory work for them.

比如現在，這讓白叟們不得不想新的辦法，讓良性的違法理論為他們所用。

I am about to show you the video of the first time I ever did stand up comedy.

我要給大家看的是我第一次做脫口秀的視頻。

It is about two years ago to this day, almost.

到今天為止，大概有兩年了，差不多了。

I feel like I'm gonna barf.

我覺得自己要吐了。

It's one of the Quran gist things I've honestly ever seen.

這是我老實說所見過的古蘭經要旨之一。

I've actually only been ableto watch it once in my life just to try and learn from it, and then I just couldn't again.

其實我這輩子只看了一次，只是想從中吸取教訓，然後就又看不下去了。

I cannot believe I'm going to show this dip Thio.

不敢相信，我竟然要給大家看這個浸泡Thio。

In this video, I say a lot of arms, which is like the number one rule.

在這個視頻中，我說了很多手臂，這就像第一條規則。

Don't say, Um, I'm obviously just procrastinating.

不要說，嗯，我明明就是在拖延時間。

This is a sad attempt at me trying to use the benign violation theory.

這是我想用良性違規理論的一個可悲嘗試。

Here you go.

給你

I actually was a closeted high school kid who had to try and date guys while sharing a land line with my parents.

其實我是一個閉關鎖國的高中生，在和父母共用一條固定電話線的情況下，不得不嘗試和男生約會。

I used to go to this thing called the Homo Hop, which was like a gay party, and have a dance and make out with guys.

我以前經常去一個叫Homo Hop的地方，就像一個同志聚會，和男人們一起跳舞，親熱。

And sometimes they want to get in contact and nothing screams, screams, being mature enough to date someone and writing like my parents.

而有時他們想聯繫，沒有什麼能像我父母那樣，尖叫，尖叫，成熟到可以和人約會，寫作。

I know the truth about me underneath my e eso usually how dating works, but it was really scary when they actually want to call every time the phone ring in my house.

我知道我下面的真相，我的e eso通常是如何約會的工作，但它真的很可怕，當他們實際上想打電話每次在我家的電話鈴聲。

At that time, it kind of felt like when Princess Diana died, it was like I was scared and nervous and sad, but I didn't know if I needed to be okay.

那時候，有點像戴安娜王妃去世時的感覺，我很害怕，很緊張，很難過，但我不知道自己需不需要好。

That was awful.

太可怕了

That was the first time I think I've ever really been on stage.

那是我覺得我第一次真正上臺表演。

Princess Diana dying is an unsafe situation, and I think I was trying to relate it to, like my own queerness, my own vulnerability as a young person.

戴安娜王妃死了是一種不安全的情況，我想我是想把它和，比如我自己的同志，我自己作為一個年輕人的脆弱聯繫起來。

At the time, I didn't understand why we were all so sad I just cried with my parents because I felt like the right thing to Dio.

當時我不明白為什麼我們都這麼傷心，我只是和父母一起哭，因為我覺得對得起迪奧。

And also, in fact, scientists have found that there's a 17 day Leighton see period between a national tragedy happening and you being able to make a good joke about it.

而且，事實上，科學家們還發現，在一場國難發生和你能開個好玩笑之間，有一個17天的利頓見期。

This joke that I made was like 21 years after this tragedy, so I hope it was okay.

我開的這個玩笑是在這個悲劇發生後的21年，所以我希望它是好的。

But again, it was the first time I ever to comedy.

但這又是我第一次到喜劇。

It was essentially what I would say a bad joke.

這基本上是我說的一個爛笑話。

So maybe it didn't work.

所以，也許它沒有工作。

But how scientists figured out this Leighton See period is exactly how they figured out what the funniest joke in the world is.

但科學家們是如何弄清這個雷頓見期的，正是如何弄清世界上最有趣的笑話是什麼。

Statistically known as Laugh Labs, a website was left up for a year where 1.5 million participants took part in a survey studying humor.

據統計，一個名為Laugh Labs的網站被擱置了一年，150萬參與者參加了一項研究幽默的調查。

Participants around the world would give their information over to a survey, get fed a bunch of jokes and interesting questions about humor, sliding scale answers of how funny or unfunny they thought things were.

世界各地的參與者會把他們的資訊交給一個調查，得到一堆關於幽默的笑話和有趣的問題，他們認為事情有多有趣或多不好笑的滑動式答案。

And with all of this data, there were some pretty fascinating things that we were able to take away.

有了這些數據，有一些非常迷人的東西，我們能夠帶走。

The most effective jokes are 103 letters long.

最有效的笑話有103個字母。

So all your Twitter heads out there.

所以，你們的推特頭在那裡。

Write that down.

寫下來。

People seem to enjoy jokes the most at 603 p.

人們似乎最喜歡在603頁開玩笑。

They have got corkscrew dates and most Fascinatingly, the joke I am about to tell you came in as the funniest joke in the world.

他們有開瓶器的棗子，最有趣的是，我將要告訴你的笑話被評為世界上最有趣的笑話。

It follows the benign violation theory quite clearly, so you might think it's really funny.

它很清楚地遵循了良性的違規理論，所以你可能會覺得它真的很有趣。

Or maybe your comedy sense is a bit more.

或者說你的喜劇感更強一些。
