Just for No Reason

Spontaneous things that happen without reason may be better than things that do have reasons behind them. When something happens for no reason, people tend to search for, or even make up, stories, justifying what they don't comprehend in order to satisfy their uneasiness. However, people only search for reasons when they are uncomfortable. Improv Everywhere shows plenty of great situations where people's absurd actions make other people happy. During the first experiment, the women on the train seemed to be wondering why the man was in his underwear, but after a while she found it funny and didn't seem to be looking for a reason as to why the men on the train had forgotten their pants. This is a strong way to reach the idea of absurdism to an audience of all ranges, because comedy is very appealing to a wide age range of people. Charlie Todd is very persuasive when he shows, through example experiments, that absurdism can lead to beautiful things, just for no reason.
