Should realize that a good deal of the time, laughter is a response to nervousness. It is a way of reacting to something very unnerving.

Go do a Google scholar search under laughter nervousness if you don’t believe me.

This is so well known that college level interpersonal communication classes discuss it and how to react when it happens.
