How can incorporating humor into a presentation improve its effectiveness?

Incorporating humor into a presentation can improve its effectiveness in several ways. Firstly, it can help to grab and maintain the audience's attention, making them more engaged and receptive to the information being presented. Secondly, humor can make the presentation more memorable, as people are more likely to remember something that made them laugh. Thirdly, it can help to create a positive and relaxed atmosphere, which can make the audience more open to new ideas and perspectives. Lastly, humor can humanize the presenter, making them more relatable and likable to the audience.
