How did they measure it? Their secret recipe for ranking the funniest places included the number of comedy clubs, comedy festival presence, famous comedians' roots, and even how much people in each place search for comedy specials. It's a mixed bag of laughter they put together using IMDB, Vulture, Badslava, and and even peeked at Google searches.
