How To Make-Up Jokes

It's pretty easy to find out the hidden ways that will make you funnier than you ever imagined you could be. The first thing we should do is understand the concept why we find something hilarious, at least the way psychologists think it is. I am sure that we often catch on things we have not known of, at those times, the brain connects the neural cells by creating a new patch between the two neural cells.

That ”path” is called a synapse and here is one of the many ways of how it works:
Assume we think of food, and remember that the papayas are food, the brain is going to produce a synapse (that gets tougher & thicker), connecting the neural cells that memorize all the info that we have on food, and those with the given fruit. Later on, when you think of food, chances are you'll be thinking about apples. What you're probably thinking is that this has nothing to do with humor. Well you're wrong, as this is in fact the way humor works.

Everything starts with you hearing a plain and common story. This is what stand-up comedians call a setup So now, you're expected to have a certain way of thinking towards the story you've heard. Furthermore, the brain connects the given setup to an appropriate punch-line. A completely different version of the punch-line, that you have not thought of, is what will make you laugh. And in case, you don't get this, the following example will help you out.

The Setup:
What is the most satisfying thing next to being shot at and missed?
The Punch-line:
An income tax refund.

What kind of punch-line did you think of? Did you want to say that it was one of the three people from the setup who was driving the car? It's normal to think that way, as that is just the way our brain was made to work. But as I, previously said, you didn't expect this kind of punch-line. Be sure to remember this, as this is the main principle of humor.

The most important thing is a good setup. The best comedians will always tell you the setup in a way that will leave you with many possible punch-lines to think of. The more you think your punch-line is the most fitting one, the more will the actually punch-line make you laugh. If you have already heard the joke, it will most likely no longer be funny, because your brain knows the punch line and there are no more new routes being made in the brain.

This should prove helpful in case you want to think of new pranks. When a man tells a story that all the people thinks about in similar way, but you figure out a different way to understand it. Now, if you tell this to others, it should be incredibly funny.
