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.
Ovdje smijeh pali jer ga izvlači iz bolne,  neugodne i teške situacije i stavlja u smiješnu situaciju u kojoj svi uživaju. Mislim da je to zaista zanimljiva upotreba koja se često koristi.
