Usually an enjoyable experience.
In layman's terms, the plot will be lost and people will begin "taking the mickey".
This law encapsulates the entire human species independent of race, color or culture. Timing and the amusement factor, however, are directly related to the intelligence and attention span of the persons involved in said interaction.
This Law was coined in 2006 by Dean O'Farrell.
