This report examines the effects of misfortune in comedy, by comparing the mean scores of participants in four treatments, or types of joke, involving either misfortune, bodily disproportion, both, or neither. It is hypothesised that the Misfortune group would elicit higher levels of laughter than Disproportion, while overall, the Both group would score highest. This was found to generally be supported by the results. The author then briefly explores some related literature before recommending areas for future research.
