Do you have to stifle a laugh every time someone drops their cafeteria tray? If so, then you're probably a fan of slapstick comedy. Slapstick (a.k.a. physical humor) can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of education, cultural background or language. The "jokes" are simply exaggerated and unexpected physical acts, such as slipping on a banana peel or shoving pie in someone's face. You seem like you'd appreciate the stunts of Ben Stiller, Jackie Chan and Molly Shannon. Or maybe you prefer the awkwardness of your friend tripping on her new high heels. Either way, many psychologists believe that laughing at the misfortune of others reveals your own insecurity. Think of that the next time someone drops their lunch tray.
