is this really new? The entire "leading the audience down the garden path" angle to humor/comedy has been talked about for a while (e.g. Inside Jokes book). Of course there are various degrees starting with mere erroneous info detection/correction ("Ha!" "Aha!" "Ahahaha…")
-
Inside Jokes postulated mirth/humor pleasurable feeling as reward for such error detection (thus spurring further unconscious scanning effort of this type). Next step up are escalated anxiety/threat-perception states (e.g. "gallows humor", "Tragedy + Time = Comedy")
