funnification

The process of making (something) fun.

Functional and economical thinking is too limited and the shallow 'funnification' of our culture that compensates for this even more so.

(see title)

The process of making (something) funny.

Situating vagrants in comic genres, in line with long-standing literary conventions involving the social hierarchy, promoted what I will call the " funnification" of poverty.

The exciting thing is that this mental process of 'funnification' applies to stuff in familiar comic forms (a clever satirical takedown of a politician we dislike, a succinct and recognisable nailing of an everyday experience, an ingenious pun, a neat turn of phrase, a precisely observed parody), but also to mad stuff that makes us laugh like drains, but which we cannot immediately explain.
