Sigmund Freud wrote a couple of observations about humour in his work Jokes And Their Relation To The Unconscious (1905) that are worthy reading before watching this short video:
"Why are we driven to tell our own joke to someone else? . . . [B]ecause we are unable to laugh at it ourselves" (Freud, 1905, p. 190).
"The comic arises in the first instance as an unintended discovery derived from human social relations" (1905, p. 234).
