The funniest Korea TV show I have ever seen!

I am a big fan in korean pop music therefore I frequently watch many Korean TV shows including running man, infinite challenge, etc. Today I would like to share one of my favorite episode of the Infinite challenge.



In every episode, the group of people who wear the comical red and white suits would receive instructions to complete various challenges, which is the reason this show calls Infinite Challenge. For this section, people need to make up while playing the roller coaster. It seems impossible as people cannot multitask when experiencing the frightened feeling brought by the roller coaster and make up, especially for men, at the same time. This video gives me so much entertainment that whenever I watch it, regardless of how many times I have seen it, I would burst into laughing.

Before reading the 'Theories of Humor', it is hard for me to explain specifically why I laugh about this video. I quite agree with the superiority theories that "we laugh at people because they have some failing to defect, or small misfortune." As an audience, I am experiencing superiority when I consciously think that I am not the one who is doing this. I laughed the most when the challenger smashed the lipstick on his face.
