There may be such a thing as first-person laughter (laughing at yourself for having a mistaken expectation), but my point is that it seems like a stretch to say that the examples 9eB1 gave fit that pattern (though perhaps your phone example does).
I’m working on a longer comment in which I’ll explain my points in more detail.
Well unfortunately we can’t reach into each other’s brains and experiment on the situations. I’ve dissected my own humorous laughter relentlessly to find these things, so I have to make some assumptions or estimations when discussing what makes other people laugh...especially given anecotes that naturally have limited information.
Does the Youtube video help demonstrate the general principle I’m referencing though? That the commentator laughs after the dunk, but does so as he says “Excuse me, I’m sorry!” as a clear reference to he himself turning out to be wrong...?
