Intriguingly, deadpan leverages incongruity, presenting absurd material with utter sincerity, which forces the audience to actively engage with the humor.
This approach, mastered by comedic legends like Buster Keaton, demonstrates that less emotion can lead to a more profound comedic experience.

Through case studies of prominent deadpan performers and connections to cognitive psychology, ""Deadpan Effect"" offers a systematic analysis of deadpan's underlying mechanisms.
It reveals how the strategic use of nonverbal cues and silence amplifies comedic effect.

Ultimately, the book provides a valuable framework for understanding and appreciating this subtle yet powerful form of comedy.
