incongruity in humor

Perhaps, laughter happens if actual situation differs from expected situation {incongruity, laughter}|, but not if situation is too simple or too complex. Expression or perception that deviates from normal thoughts or images, such as something ludicrous, can cause laughter. Laughter happens only if unexpected caused no harm. Perhaps, it only upsets dignity [Ramachandran, 2004].
