I'm genuinely gutted. Amorim has brought me more football joy than almost any other manager I can think of. I will miss him a lot.

Yes and I think that's exactly what this study confirms

Bottom line: Only humour that is tightly tied to lesson content improves teaching quality, while other humour types are neutral at best and actively harmful at worst.

Key Findings:
- Not all humour helps learning. Some actively harms it.
- Students appreciate humour that serves the lesson, not humour that distracts from it.
- Aggressive humour increases student anger and anxiety.
- If a joke doesn't clarify the content, it's probably doing cognitive damage.
