Why do we spend weeks planning the perfect april fools pranks? According to the Benign Violation Theory, humor occurs when something seems “wrong” or “threatening” but is actually safe.
When you send an april fools jokes via our Pun-Bomb, you create a momentary “threat” (the bait headline), which is immediately resolved by a silly pun.
This sudden release of tension triggers a massive dopamine hit in the brain, creating a bonding experience between the prankster and the “victim.”
