What's Funny?

just thinking about the science of "funny".

when someone owns a robot costume and they want to make use of it, so they write a comedy sketch ABOUT the robot = that's funny.

But! when someone owns a HORSEHEAD and just throws it into a comedy sketch that has nothing to do with a horsehead, but introduces the character as Mr Horsehead = that's not funny.

But! (the science of funny is so specific) if you had a comedy sketch that had nothing to do with a horsehead, but had a horsehead character in it, and went along with the comedy sketch like Mr. Horsey was completely NORMAL = that has potential to be pretty effin' funny.

maybe i am making no sense, but what makes no sense to me is why people think some of the comedy shorts on youtube really are funny!

that's all for now.
