A Perspective About Jokes -- The Universal-Type and the Private-Type

Some of the best jokes are ones that universally, we all "get" -- and then... there are the ones, that are only funny to the individuals who understanding the "inside" type of joke; one that can only be fully understood and appreciated privately; or for privileged audiences, who can relate to the (perhaps) cryptic language of the comedian or joke-deliverer.

Do you appreciate the fine-line, between universally understood jokes, and a private (often, cryptic) joke?

Who Can Relate to a Good Stimulating Emotional Frequency That Makes You Laugh?

Sometimes, it's a humorously stimulating emotional frequency that gets me laughing heartily. The words of the individual making me laugh, does not even need to be brilliantly funny. It's always a plus, to be funny with words, however-- sometimes, all it takes is the emotional frequency of the voice and it's effect, that makes what is being said hilarious. It's typically of a high-pitch and like a persistent emotional tickle, where the more you laugh, the more he or she continues to speak and make you laugh, even more.

Who can relate to the effectiveness of a good emotional frequency, that stimulates laughter?

A Joke May Be Especially Effectively Funny With the Use of Exaggeration

Typically, with a play-on words -- stating the obvious, with an unexpected delivery of a maximized extreme comparison or exaggeration, is something that usually makes me really laugh and appreciate the deliverer of the joke, because of their humorous, unexpected delivery of stating something to show the humor and logic of his or her point, made with the joke.

It's kind of like this: If someone said that they were going outside to close the garage door, and they were gone for twenty minutes -- when they got back, one might ask them "So, where've ya been? Did you build us another garage??"

The unexpected humor is key, along with exaggeration and logic.

Can you relate to this type of humor?
