Laughology Clip 2 - There's a new way to laugh
For the first time, a scientific demonstration of a new way to laugh from the hilarious documentary Laughology. The rise of Laughter Yoga, Laughercize, and the New Laughter, works on a new principle. Conventionally people laugh by hearing jokes or seeing something funny, new laughter works on the principle that laughter makes you laugh. This kind of laughter can lead to extreme forms of laughter which can knock you down even lead into a temporary state of paralysis as seen in this clip from Laughology.

INCREDIBLE! The mix of sharing the sources of human laughter and also waking the viewer up to the healing nature of laughter. I love it.

Laughter. Plato hated it, the Bible discouraged it, scientists avoided it. With his trademark blend of humour and serious investigation, Albert Nerenberg drops in on cutting edge neuroscientists and cardiologists, the inventor of Laughter Yoga, and Christian "holy laughter" groups in search of its origin and meaning. He visits the site of a severe laughter epidemic in Africa and reconvenes the folks who created The Nanny's laugh tracks. Ultimately he finds the man with the most contagious laugh in the world. Laughology wittily weaves research, archival stills, television clips, and a hilarious send-up of the use of re-enactments in docs. Nerenberg's quest to rediscover his own laugh has produced a film that will undoubtedly play a major role in a "global laughter trend at a crucial time when the world needs a good laugh." - Lynne Fernie, Programmer Hot Docs
