Humor helps us deal with many difficult things in life. And though you might be a very kind and patient person most of the time, some situations and people can be so irritating, you require special measures to handle them. Sarcastic jokes can be a great help in such cases.
Dictionaries define sarcasm as the derisive use of words with the intent to mock someone or something. It might not be immediately perceivable and requires the ability to interpret what is being said. Often, the sarcastic meaning is transmitted through non-verbal means, like tone or pitch of voice. This makes such jokes very special. But don’t confuse sarcasm with rude jokes. While they’re really funny, sarcastic jokes never directly insult whoever they’re directed at.
Another pitfall with sarcasm that some people tend to ignore is that not every situation requires it. Sometimes you just have to be direct and express your feelings without any double meaning. Remember that if you want others to appreciate your funny jokes, you also have to be serious and sincere when the circumstances call for it.
History knew quite a number of famous people who could deliver some really sarcastic lines disguised as clean, appropriate jokes. Today, we often use sarcasm not only when somebody or something makes us angry but also when we need to cope with a difficult situation.
Read the collection we put together for you, and let us know in the comments what other good jokes with sarcastic undertones you know.
