Why do I like to watch so many funny videos?

Watching humorous videos is associated with an instant effect to reduce stress reduction and well-being improvement. Positive effects slowly faded in the medium term (i.e., within 30 min). No consistent long-term effects after 3 weeks were found. The calming feeling of re-watching movies is 'experiential control', which provides 'emotional regulation'. To put it simply, because you know the ending already, you also know how it will make you feel.” Think of these movies as a time machine of sorts. Our brain loves video because it is programmed to retain visual content better than a page loaded with words. According to studies, the average viewer remembers 95% of a message when it is watched, whereas only 10% when read.
