Are ALL jokes false and nonsense?

Question

I have 3 questions about joke.

1) Many jokes are not true and nonsense (that's why they're jokes). However, are there also jokes that are true and make sense in real life?

2) If I tell something funny that happened to me before (real story, no exaggeration), could that be a joke too?

3) How about when a comedian simply impersonates someone else? Would that be counted as a "joke?"

Answer 1

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes

In my opinion a joke is anything that is funny enough to bring a laugh.

Answer 2

Well, Webster's dictionary describes a joke as "something said or done to provoke laughter, especially a brief oral narrative with a climactic humorous twist, the humorous or ridiculous element in something, an instance of jesting, or something not to be taken seriously.

With that in mind, real stories, impersonations, things that happen could all be considered jokes as long as they provoke laughter. :D

Answer 3

Hello
Jokes are a form of communication where logic and truth and circumstance collide

Most things can be counted as a joke - like high taxes and interest rates.

Good luck

Kind regards

Answer 4

Have you ever laughed at something ironic that happened in your daily life? Well, that's a joke.
