A good sense of humor is a quality that many people seek in a partner. And for a reason—even if some jokes tend to push certain buttons (when the artwork your husband buys for the house is him portrayed as a mythical being, for instance), life with someone who tickles your funny bone is never boring.

Today, we want to shed light on some examples of men making sure there’s never a dull moment in their partner’s life. Responsible for everything from said artwork-related occurrences to creative solutions and bizarre happenings of all sorts, these men sure know how to make their loved one laugh.

Seeking to learn more about why humor matters and how it can affect people’s relationships, Bored Panda got in touch with a linguist and humor scholar, one of the co-founders of the International Society for Humor Studies, Dr. Don Nilsen, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions. Scroll down to find his thoughts in the text below.
