Description

Dr. Caleb Warren joins the podcast to give Mike and Chris an academic and research-based look at why things are funny using a framework known as the “Benign Violation Theory.”


Dr. Warren is a professor in the Marketing Department at the University of Arizona and one of the authors of a paper called “Benign violations: Making immoral behavior funny.”


His particular areas of research focus on what makes things funny, what makes things cool, and what helps people reach their goals.


We put his humor theory to the test chatting about tinkling, roasts, and comedy crowds.
