A study surveying 6,000 people across 30 countries found the Czech Republic to be the funniest country, followed by Portugal and Ireland. The UK ranked 18th, below Australia and France but above Germany and the US. The research utilized the Humour Styles Questionnaire to evaluate participants' humor styles and resulted in a humour score for each nation. The highest possible score was 112, with the Czech Republic noted for their self-defeating humor and wit, highlighting the universal nature of laughter and its cultural implications.
The data especially highlighted the dry wit of the Czech Republic, the warm, socially intelligent humour of Portugal and the storytelling charm of Ireland.
Regardless of location, laughter is a universal language. For anyone living or working internationally, understanding these differences can be a quick shortcut to feeling at home.
