Laughing and Tickling Scenes

 Sirens, a 1994 film set in Australia during the interwar period, includes various tickling scenes in a context of liberation from repression in the matter of what morality deemed appropriate or not. Tony, an Anglican pastor, and his wife Estrella, come to Australia from the United Kingdom to visit the famous artist Norman Lindsay, whose works cause a stir because of their sexual subtexts. In fact, several women pose nude for the painter: his wife Rose and his models Pru and Sheela. Tony and Estrella are initially scandalized by their freedom of dress, but secretly fascinated by the free way they live their lives. Estella, in particular, is captivated by Pru and Sheela's lack of inhibitions and how they flirt with their half-blind sidekick, Devlin. In this film, tickling is often used as a means, or metaphor, to overcome the inhibitory brakes dictated by the repressive morality of the time.

 Tickling is an activity often depicted in manga because of its peculiarity of forcing the recipient to laugh even if he or she does not want to. Depending on the context, it is used as actual torture to force the victim to provide information against his or her will, as punishment in friendly contexts, as an endurance contest, or simply to make a grumpy person laugh.

If the spectator is unaware that someone is being tickled, he mistakes his laughter for an expression of well-being and amusement. So the victim suffers, even though others think he or she is having fun and is therefore happy. This is precisely the focus of the manga "The Ghost of Golden Time" by Junji Ito, celebrated Japanese horror master author of uzumaki and many other disturbing stories. Tickle scenes in "The Ghost

One of the crucial characteristics of tickling is the impulse to laugh, which requires great willpower to suppress.  Tickle challenges generally take place as endurance tests of having sensitive body parts tickled. Some TV shows present even more difficult tickle challenges: the goal is not to endure the tickle, but to avoid laughing or even smiling at all costs to avoid losing the contest. "Silent Library" and "Fist of Zen" are two MTV's TV shows with a similar format: contendants have to keep silent while they are subjected to bizzarre trials. Some of them are examples of tickle torture. In an episode of "Silent Library", a boy is tickled by his friends and has to stay silent for 60 seconds, but he fails and crack at about 40 seconds. In an episode of "Silent Library", a boy is tickled by a companion under his armpits while another blocks him. He smiles vigorously but doesn't laugh. In an episode of "Fist of Zen" a yellow dres
