The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 10 Why are some words funnier than others? Can you learn a theory of humour? Are the sounds we find comical just as effective in other languages? The Neuromantics – writer Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott – give funny words a thorough seeing to, asking whether it’s possible to find any consensus on humour or if it’s a case of each to his own. Stepping across from funny to absurd, they explore the ideas behind Edward Lear’s The Jumblies, and visit a very unsettling short story by the Luxembourgeois writer Florence Sunnen.
