Jokes are a great way to make people laugh and have fun. Have you ever thought why people laugh at jokes? There are many reasons behind this.

 

It is said that humans are the only animals in the world that have ability for both laughing and making other laugh. However, it can be easily presumed that even animals laugh in their own ways that we are unable to understand. One reason why people laugh at jokes is that most of jokes show some person in poor light. It makes people pleased as they feel they are better than the person made fun of in the joke.

 

There is another reason of laughing at jokes. Most of jokes have the punch lines that are completely unexpected. As they are surprised people laugh out of embarrassment or pleasure of getting some thrill out of the punch line. If the punch line is on expected lines then people do not laugh at them. When people see and have some unexpected experience they have some chemicals secreted in their brain that make them feel good.

 

Jokes have two parts in them. One part is introduction and problem or the crux of the issue. The second part is the punch line of the joke. The punch lines make people laugh. Jokes as a form of entertainment and amusement are very popular all over the world. In all parts of the world jokes are cracked and listened to. Most of the jokes circulate through word-of-mouth. In modern times after the advent of the Internet, jokes are all over the Internet. There are many websites dedicated to jokes and other amusement related items. They offer jokes on all topics like marriage, romance, office, blonde, etc. It has helped in circulation of all kinds of jokes to the audiences world over.
