Everyone loves good jokes. They can elevate your mood and brighten up your day when life is not going exactly the way you planned. You might not realize it, but jokes can also be divided into genres. From slapstick comedy to sarcasm to more subtle humor, there are so many different ways to make funny jokes.
What you will find funny in a moment solely depends on your character and the mood you are in. Sometimes, even the most awkward of dad jokes that would make you facepalm in any other situation can make you laugh out loud.
While some types of jokes are universally loved, there are others that are not everyone’s cup of tea. For example, dark humor jokes may be frowned upon, and if morbid humor is your go-to strategy to make someone laugh, people might start giving you side glances. That’s why it would be advisable to be a little cautious and make sure your jokes aren’t hurting anyone.
Delivery is extremely important. Even the best pun jokes will fall flat if you don’t tell them right. This is the reason why some people make fantastic stand-up or movie comedians, while others can hardly squeeze a chuckle out of their audience.
For this article, we collected a lot of “what’s the difference between” jokes. But since there can never be enough jokes, make sure you share your favorite ones in the comments below.
