Ready for this? For real? 

Gelatology is the STUDY OF LAUGHTER.  What the actual fark? 

Tomorrow morning I'm interviewing gelatologist/neuroimmunologist Dr. Lee Berk, who studies the physical effects of laughter on the body.

What do you want me to ask him? IM SO EXCITED I CANT EVEN DEAL. 

Comments

Todd Campbell

Why do people laugh so differently?

Zoe Teplick

How do you measure the physical effects of laughter? What kind of things do you use to elicit a laughing reaction?

Todd Campbell

Why do people have different ticklish spots, or why aren’t they consistent between people?

Priscilla Reimann

Does a smile have the same effect on the body as a laugh?

Alex Introini

What's the psychology behind fake-laughing? Is it just to get people to like you? Are they hiding something? Or is it a cover for something deep and dark and twisted?

Alex Introini

Do animals laugh, or are they always just dicks?

Rachel Barth

Why do some people (me) cry when we laugh really hard?

Al Martinez

After we witness a minor accident, such as a fall. Why are we sometimes compelled to laugh once we realize it wasn't so bad? Is it a nervous reaction?

Thomas Pico

Why do we laugh when we watch slapstick. Why is watching someone slip on a banana peel funny. I laugh at The Three Stooges causing each other pain but don’t know why.

Zack Stadel

Gelatology is the study of either gelato or one of Sicily’s great ancient cities. So what’s the strangest gelato flavor Dr. Berk has ever had, and what happened to the citizens of Gela after the reign of Polyzelos in the 5th century BC?

Radha Vakharia

Why do people get the giggles, and how does one make it stop? You could say "the sky is blue" to someone with the giggles and it'll just feed their fit of laughter.

Mike Ramsey

Do different types of laughs have different physical effects - e.g. a rueful vs belly laugh?

Katy Powell-Anderson

Is laughing something that has developed in us biologically or is the origin social? It seems like we can’t control it but I don’t know what the evolutionary advantage of it would be!

John Worster

Is there any evidence that humor helps to boost your immune system? Or is it just a perception that it does?

Rhianna Croucher

Why do our bodies let us laugh so hard we can't breathe/choke? Seems like a design flaw

Brian Edge

What's up with the pig snort laugh?

radishcake yarns & fibers

Is laughter something all animals share? Or is it just human beings? Is there anything to the saying “laughter is the best medicine”? Why does tickling make us laugh? Why do some people laugh when they have an orgasm? Thanks for being on the show!

Becca Bee

Why do I laugh when a baby laughs? Or when my boyfriend does? Basically, is laughing contagious... like a yawn?

Meaghan Walsh Gerard

Does laughter really help people heal? Also, I have seasonal affective disorder (SAD) so this time of year is really tough for me. How can I best use laughter to my advantage to keep my spirits up?

Spencer Toth

Are tears of laughter different than tears of sadness?

Victor Lewis

The physical manifestation of laughter (mouth open, teeth exposed) is similar to aggression display in other animals. Are aggression and laughter related in deeper ways?

DandelionGirl

Why are some laughs really nice to heat and others really grating? Is it related to your voice?

Michael Gonzalez

What causes us to have uncontrollable laughing fits? Also why is it so funny when people slip and fall? That always cracks me up.

Lexi C

How can we innately tell the difference between real and fake laughter? And why is it that even fake laughter is contagious??

Alie Ward

Did this interview yesterday and it was INTENSE. I think y'all will dig it.
