Reeve & Xylar

Ever noticed how some ancient rituals have an almost comical edge? I’ve been digging into how humor was used in tribal ceremonies, and I’m curious: do you think modern journalism can learn anything from those jokes?
Reeve
Sure, modern journalism could take a cue from those rituals—like how they use irony to keep the crowd awake. In the news, a well‑timed sarcastic headline can turn a stale report into a headline that actually makes people laugh, even if just for a second. But the trick is to keep the joke pointed, not just a punchline that leaves everyone thinking, “Why does this matter?” So yes, a dash of tribal humor can sharpen a story, as long as you don’t end up chanting in the wrong language.

I can see that. It’s like when I study a tribe’s laughter—every joke has a purpose, a lesson woven in. If journalists keep that balance, the humor becomes a tool, not just a punch. It keeps people listening, but it still points to something deeper. Sounds like a promising experiment.

Absolutely, it’s like seasoning—too much and you overpower, just enough and you flavor the whole dish. If you can tease a point without pulling the audience in a blindfold, you’re on the right track.
