Default Answer to the question :why do people laugh at clowns

It is a truth that we respond emotionally to certain colors. That is why hospitals and prisons are certain colors. Physchatrist try to use colors that are to sooth people when they look at them.

This apply to clowns. The colors that make up a clown are very sharp and bright colors, or sharp and shaded colors. Seeing these colors can create almost what is called a induction.

Knowing that they are clowns, we are more proned to laughter at the movement of those colors, not necersarily the skits. If you want proof, most of those who really laugh at you never really remember what skit made them laugh.

that is why.

what do you think
