THAT’S NOT FUNNY THAT’S FRIENDS

Scientists have discovered a brain cell that responds to comedy after hooking up the brains of epilepsy patients to electrodes and then having them watch The Simpsons. While watching the show the brain cell started firing more than 15 times per second and also fired after the experiments were over and the patients were asked simply to recall funny moments from the show. The brain cell also responded to a lesser extend to Seinfeld but remained completely silent when the patients were forced to watch Friends. (The Telegraph)
