Don't Laugh Challenge in TV Shows #1 (Tickle Scenes in "Distraction")

Distraction was a television program broadcast from 2003 to 2004 in the United Kingdom and later replicated in other editions in various countries around the world. The program involved contestants being subjected to bizarre tests for the aim of disturbing them as they attempted to answer easy questions. A series of hecklers would intervene by practicing physical, visual or auditory distractions on the contestants in order to make the attempt to answer the questions as difficult as possible. Some of these tests involved attempting to answer questions while being subjected to various forms of tickling. Contestants were usually pinned to rods while attendants were in charge of tickling their bare feet for the entire time of the test. There are many versions of tickling scenes in “Distraction” TV show. Tickling in Distraction In the english version, A man gets his feet tickled by two women.

It's no laughing matter! #1 (Tickle Scene in “Floris”)

Tickling is a spontaneous body reaction that makes the one being tickled laugh even if he or she does not want to. Since it is an uncontrollable reaction the one being tickled is often afraid of it if he cannot defend himself against it, as he loses control of his body. In some situations, the purpose of tickling is precisely to force the victim to open his or her mouth, in order to get him or her into trouble. We have an example of this in the TV series "Floris" (1969) set in the 16th century. Tickling in "Floris" A girl and an old man are tied to poles: each of them holds a cable holding a precious map with mouth. Some evil individuals have captured them and want to destroy the map. Sadistically, they want the prisoners themselves to destroy it by dropping it into the fire. To force the girl to open her mouth and destroy the map, the torturers begin in team to tickle her hips and under her armpits. The woman begins to laugh madly but tries desperately to keep her

A happy day at the beach (Tickle Scene in "Desiring Julia", 1986)

A smile is a facial expression that indicates a feeling of pleasure, joy and amusement, and gives the ohter person an impression of pleasure given by his actions. We have an example of this in the film "Desiring Julia" (1986). Tickling in "Desiring Julia" Julia and her boyfriend Emilio are spending a beautiful day at the beach frolicking. Emilio kisses her foot and Julia gives a beautiful smile, saying "It tickles!" In this case the smile represents both a physiological response to tickling and a feel-good response from the touch of the other person.

A laughing pedicure #1 (Tickle Scene in "Californication")

Pedicure is one of those few circumstances in daily life in which one exposes one's body to physical contact with a stranger. Sensitive body parts that are sensitive and usually covered, if they are unexpectedly touched, prompt a person to laugh as a reaction of surprise. We have an example of this In "Californication" (season 2, episode 2)  Tickling in "Californication" Hank is giving Trixie a pedicure. Trixie claims that Hank is doing a great job with her feet. At that moment Hank tickles Trixie's foot. She suddenly smiles and starts laughing for a few seconds.  In this case, laughter is a sudden reaction that serves to vent the unexpected physical contact, and it is also a symptom of complicity between the two people.

A too serious statue! (Tickle Scene in "Scooby Doo" S1X6)

 A recurring situation in the Scooby Doo animated series consists of Shaggy and his four-legged companion escaping from the episode's monster and hiding in a bizarre way. In the episode "A Good Medium is Rare" (S1X6) we have a situation that makes the viewer laugh...but Shaggy better not! Our protagonist, in order to escape from his pursuer, disguises himself as a fakir statue riding an elephant. The bad guy is not entirely stupid, however, and decides to test whether the statue is really inanimate...with some genuine tickling of the foot! Tickling in Scooby Doo Shaggy cannot move a muscle lest he betray himself, but a conspicuous smile makes its appearance on his face.  Our hapless hero tries to keep his lips together but the undaunted villain continues to torment his bare foot.  He tries desperately to remain serious but his face wants to smile at all costs. Even for a statue it is difficult to remain impassive in certain situations!

Fatal Jokes: Form Lord Dunsany to Monthy Phyton

Jokes are lyrics that trigger laughter in the listener due to a "mental short-circuit" of expectations of what is heard versus the ending, or that touch on themes related to modesty that trigger laughter as a form of defense against embarrassment. Resisting a joke is a real challenge (as in shows such as Documental or LOL - Who's Laughing is Out), since laughing is a natural stimulus that can be suppressed with difficulty. Because of their ability to make the victim laugh against the will of the victim, jokes are often compared to tickling, or it is said that it is necessary to tickle serious guys who do not laugh at jokes. In Lord Dunsany's short story " The three jokes " there is an emissary from hell who buys the virtue of the protagonist, that of deeming women all ugly, in exchange for three jokes, seemingly trivial, but which will literally make the recipients die of laughter, but only the first time they are read. Very funny and sinister at the same ti

Does laughing trigger jealousy? (Tickle Scene in "North To Alaska", 1960)

"North to Alaska" is a western romantic comedy developed around the classic love triangle. George intends to make Sam jealous in order to push him to declare his feelings for Michelle/Angelo; so he pretends to flirt with the girl. To attract Sam's attention, he asks Michelle to laugh. The girl tries to laugh but the mood is not right. The man mouths off to amuse her and then asks her if she is ticklish. Angelo, worried, replies no, but Sam does not believe her. He places her on the bed and removes a shoe, vigorously tickling her feet. The woman immediately begins to laugh vigorously and wriggle, but the man restrains her and continues the tickling. Her laughter is so loud that it reaches the ears of Sam, who storms out of the dwelling. Tickling in "North to Alaska" In this case, laughter is apparently a sign of happiness and complicity of a woman and a man, so it produces jealousy in another lover. Actually, it's only a physiological response given by tickli

Laughter as a proof of humanity (Tickle Scene in "Solaris" 1972)

Laughing is a spontaneous act that signals, through spreading the lips and showing the teeth, a feeling of happiness and amusement. In science fiction works, therefore, smiling is a gesture that communicates that the person performing it is human, or trying to behave like a human being. The same goes for smiles resulting from tickling, a quintessential human reaction to touching sensitive spots. There are two versions of a tickling scene in Solaris novel and Solaris movie .  Tickling in "Solaris"  In the novel, Kris is on the bed with the Hari replica. He lifts her leg and touches the sole of one foot with his finger. The girl smiles and, giggling, asks him to stop. In “Solaris” (movie 1972) Kris is on the bed with the Hari replica; he tries to grab the gun placed next to her, and so he touches the sole of her foot. Hari squirms and with the gang kicks off the gun, claiming that he tickles her. Laughter reaction to tickling communicates to the protagonist that the laughing gi
