Today we talk about how humor evolves as we age. Using research from data scientist Daniel Paris and various studies, we discuss the concept of a 'humor cliff' that suggests we laugh less as we get older but appreciate different types of humor. We share personal anecdotes about movies and shows like 'Anchorman,' 'Fletch,' 'The Simpsons,' and 'South Park,' highlighting how certain comedies hold up over time (Larry thinks that someone getting kicked in the nuts is still funny). We delve into the idea that humor requires self-awareness and the ability to see the absurdity in life, debating whether our sense of humor truly diminishes with age or just changes in nature.
