Part 3 – Follow Up Questions

1.What makes people laugh in your country ( your culture)?

People laugh at all sorts of comedy. They enjoy slapstick as well as stand­up comedy.

2. Is comedy very popular in your country?

There is a lot of importance of comedy in my country. Lots of sitcoms are now telecast on TV. Even doctors prescribe laughter therapy for many depressive disorders. Laughter clubs are also gaining popularity among the people.

3.Which comedy TV shows are very popular in your country?

Comedy Circus, The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, Laughter the Master, Hasde Hasaunde Raho and Chhote Miyan are just a few of them.

4. What do you think are the differences between seeing comedy on TV and reading funny materials in a book?

Seeing a comedy is different as you can enjoy slapstick comedy, which you cannot read. Slapstick comedy is one which is based on simple actions, for example people hitting each other, falling down, etc.

Even stand­up comedy makes you laugh because of the way people speak the jokes. Reading funny things also ca make you laugh, but you have to do the effort of reading. It is an active activity, whereas watching comedy is a passive activity.

5. Would you like to appear in a TV comedy program?

No, I don’t think I have the talent to do comedy good enough to be shown on TV.

Yes, it is. Ads are made humorous and attractive to attract people and so the product they advertise also stays in the mind.

7.Do you think funny ads on TV are effective?

Yes, they are. They incorporate the audio and visual component, which stays in the mind longer and people are influenced by these when they go shopping.

8.What do you think are the benefits of laughter?

Laughter is the best medicine for many mental ailments. Laughter also brings people together. It has no language. Everyone understands laughter.

9. Do you think there are differences between what males and females think as humorous?

I don’t think there is any difference in genders as far as jokes and comedy is concerned. There may be individual differences but definitely both genders enjoy same jokes and comedies.
