Many ideas exist as to why we laugh. In my opinion it's much more complicated than most people think. If you try to analyse why things are funny it becomes difficult very quickly. Some things are not funny to some whilst being hilarious to others.
This amused me a lot today. Not only is it funny because of the visual aspect of these two dudes dancing together, but the setting up of the idea that there's a place where two grown men dance together on stage for the visual pleasure of a large crowd is not only ridiculous, but very funny (to me at least).
I have heard comedians describe aspects of their own humour this way too, for example the argument sketch of Monty Python springs to mind, although much more blatant in its premise.
This video is not just two blokes dancing, it's on a whole different level ....
N.B. On Ellipses: when used in an aposiopetic way there should be 4 dots (according to Wikipedia anyway!).
