TED Talks Daily · Sunday Pick: Why you should try improv comedy (w/ Rick Andrews) | How to Be a Better Human · 19 Jul 2026 podcast

It's on your 35.

Right.

So if you do it the opposite way where it's like, dad, I need to go to the potty.

Right?

Good improvisers are just getting as much possible information out of it as can.

So not only did I tell you that you're my dad, but I think I probably pretty strongly implied that we are not at home.

Right?

Because if they can use the potty, they could maybe go by themselves at some point or whatever.

But there's also something in the tone of voice.

It's like, I kind of need your help or whatever.

So if we're at home, I do need your help me.

I'm not able to go by myself kind of thing.

You actually already have narrowed the frame in a subtle way.

But if you're ignoring all that to get this joke, you actually don't pick up on any of those potential information.

So you lose it.

And if you really think about what you're doing there on a cognitive level, you're kind of thinking, what do I think you think is true about this scene?

And because this is a fictional world, I'm essentially asking myself, how are you seeing the world?

It's kind of like the literal definition of empathy, right?

It's like trying to see the world from someone else's eyes.

And I do think that's kind of why that thing works.
