From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joke Mechanics is the methodology of guaranteeing a joke to be funny. It is a working set of guidelines under construction by Michael Jozwiak and Eric Deng.

[edit] The Concept

Joke Mechanics is a way for anyone, regardless of talent, to contribute a funny joke or comment to a situation. In Joke Mechanics, both common and uncommon approaches to different situations are analyzed, to give a framework for a surefire funny joke. These guidelines will be posted upon their adoption by the two researchers stated above.

[edit] Outlines

• If a joke must be explained, its rating is automatically decreased by three quarters. For example, if one makes a very subtle pun that some people understand, but it must be explained for others, it is a worse joke than it could have been.
