Had a friend say this in person and it did work for the next 2 times I had hiccups

My hypotesis is that it needs to be absurdly funny for the trick to work. After 2 or 3 uses, it loses the absurdity so it doesn't work anymore.

edit: after another ~10 uses it gains absurdity again.

hiccups are a confusion so maybe making you think about a fantasy triggers a lot of brain and distracts the confusion? it doesn't work after a couple times because you have pathways to that though and your brain doesn't need to do as much?
