Humor doesn’t always have to be complex. We’re simpler creatures than we like to admit, and it’s often the stupider things that are the ones that bring us the most simple pleasure. There’s a reason things like fart jokes have persisted over the years. 

It takes a stronger person than many to resist the more puerile topics that make us laugh, but sometimes it’s not even that deep. Other people getting things wrong in amusing ways is one of the purest forms of funny to ever exist, and it can be underrated. It can be both hilarious and a bonding experience with the ones we love, as a thread started by @Brittymigs proves. Claiming that nothing is funnier than a friend saying something slightly wrong, people were keen to share their own examples. A slip of the tongue might be easily done, but it can stay amusing to us forever.
