Fascinating. As I rewrite my comedy lines I will work towards benign-violation while keeping in mind my audience, the situation and "distance" and see if that generates more laughs.

Tickling isn't funny. Humor is a celebration of a break from what is expected.

There exists a number of different reasons why something is funny, and theorizing and postulating on what makes something funny is quite meaningless, even if in theory there is truth to it. Comedy is an art, not a science. Having an art explained in scientific terms is not too interesting to me. I would rather have a comedian explain the art of timing, word play, tone of voice, facial expression, and delivery. And while this presentation was perhaps explaining the theory behind laughter it doesn't get to the heart of it.

If you're dissecting something it's already dead. If something dies in the process, that's vivisection.

why use the word violation? just say pattern mismatch. You can create a pattern mismatch through exaggerating something or minimizing it. Draw a human face. Give it a huge nose. Funny. Give it a small little chin. Funny. Its just a simple benign pattern mismatch. I reason that humans get pleasure out of pattern mismatches because we learn through identifying similarities and differences in patterns. So it would make sense for us to enjoy finding pattern mismatches and sharing these with friends. When its not so benign, the pattern mismatch still evokes curiosity and the need to discuss it.
