André F. Nebe uses his humour structure analysis to make viewers' preferences and corresponding audiovisual offerings in films visible. Complex and multi-layered audiovisual (hypotactic) humour is used in the more successful films, while less successful films make simple (paratactic) humour offerings. The humour structure analysis offers insights into promising humour offerings and can also be used in the story development phase for writers, directors, producers and dramaturges.

André F. Nebe studied law at the Humboldt University of Berlin, film directing at the University of Hamburg and earned his doctorate at the Babelsberg Film University. Among other things, he is the director of the feature film "Das grosse Rennen", author of various episodes of the ZDF series "Löwenzahn", was an editor for the SWR children's series "Motzgurke" and is the author of children's books in the series "Die Geisterreiter" and "Die Küstenwölfe". André F. Nebe is a lecturer at media and film schools.
