Comedy plays a significant role in the way people share information as well. The study of the effect of humor on virality concluded that, “The memes that can spread the most effectively behave like vessels for receivers to communicate their thoughts and emotions by sharing the memes in their networks.” It also suggested that quite often it’s the humorous memes through which the senders make fun of themselves that are more likely to be shared.
Another study delving deeper into what kind of content people were more willing to share revealed that Americans were more likely ro relay something funny rather than something important. The answers of respondents who had shared content on social media over the previous month suggested that 65% of them shared interesting things, 49% did funny content, while 43%—something important.
Moreover, it revealed that Americans were “more likely than the average respondent across the 24 countries to typically share funny content (49% vs. 43%)”.
