The fact that the laughter works, it gets him from a painful, embarrassing, difficult situation, into a funny situation, into what we're actually enjoying there, and I think that's a really interesting use, and it's actually happening all the time.
La risa funciona porque lo saca de una situación dolorosa, embarazosa y difícil y lo pone en una situación graciosa que disfrutamos y creo que es un uso muy interesante que ocurre todo el tiempo.
