Characteristics of cold humor
Since the second half of cold humor always surprises people, the more people who have a positive view of cold humor listen to cold humor, the more likely they are to hear cold humor. Cold humor will be colder. The reason is that the second half of dry humor is always unexpected by the listener.

The reason is opposite to the one above that is unexpected to the listener. When the listener has a negative attitude towards cold humor, after listening to the first half of the content, the listener will have a psychological hint that the joke will have an extremely boring and unfunny "second half".

The result is that the thinking process of "concentration and thinking engagement" is shortened or absent. At this time, the listener will not only not feel cold, but will feel that the person who said the cold humor is boring and has nothing to do.
