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?

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?
