Increased sense of humor can be described as a positive enhancement and general alteration in one's response to humorous or amusing stimuli. When normal humorous perceptions are experienced in this state, the responses to them may be noticeably amplified, usually without any discernible reason or apparent cause.

In group settings, this can have a viral effect, as the experience of witnessing someone laughing in enjoyment for no apparent reason can itself be a trigger for lowering the threshold for what one personally finds to be humorous, laughable, or generally amusing. These tend to form positive feedback loops and can also occur in individual settings, as one realizes the absurdity of finding everything to be more humorous in a totally novel, unexpected and inexplicable way.

This component can be considered to be comprised of individual subcomponents such as novelty enhancement, emotion enhancement, personal meaning enhancement, disinhibition, thought connectivity and in its least reproducible manifestation, existential self-realization.
