What makes you laugh? Can the same thing make someone from a different culture laugh too?
Well, it could either make both of you share a laugh or leave an awkward silence.
Surprisingly, with aspects like food, music, festivals, and language, another thing that varies with cultures is ‘humor’. We laugh at things that we relate to. When we are part of a culture, we can relate to the jokes and puns that we hear from those around us. That’s what we talk about in this episode. With 3 guests – Nicholas, Matthew, and Anton joining us for this topic, we talk about how humor is in the U.S. as compared to India. Interestingly, jokes are much different in both cultures. The formula, the format, and also the delivery style are different for jokes and puns in both cultures. Despite these, we still find things that are similar and those which make us both laugh.
