Article by Luke Daniels
Jokes are usually short stories or a short series of words spoken or communicated with the intent of being found humorous laughed at by the reader or listener. Most jokes contain two portions: the joke setup and the punch line. There is generally a sense of irony between the joke and the punch line which provides the irony to elicit laughter from an audience. When a joke fails to elicit the intended laughter from an audience a person’s delivery of the joke is usually at fault. Telling a joke or humorous story can be intimidating at times. Below I have outlined ten tips to increase the chances of success for your joke. If you follow these tips on how to tell jokes you should have audiences roaring in no time.
1) Create a joke or story pool: This is helpful to have since you never know when a situation might arise that calls for good joke or story. One-liners are the best to have and witty comments can be inserted in a number of situations. Start your joke pool.
2) Understand your audience: The jokes you tell to your friends will be different from the ones you tell at your corporate office. (or they should be)
3) Consider the time of day: Refrain from telling jokes in the mornings. People are not conditioned to laugh a lot in the early mornings. Many might not even be completely awake.
4) Avoid sexist, racist or ethnic, and religious humor: This could offend individuals or provoke your audience. It can also destroy your credibility. Plus, it’s just not funny!
5) Make eye contact with your listeners: This keeps them engaged and feeling involved in the speech, joke, or story.
6) Smile throughout your presentation: Smiling is infectious and will encourage others to break a smile and laugh.
7) Be energetic and upbeat as you are telling the joke or story: This will make your stories or jokes more interesting and captivate your audience
Don’t laugh before the punch line! This wrecks your timing and ruins everything!
9) Keep track of your timing and make sure everything flows: Also keep jokes and stories short with a three minute maximum.
10) Don’t worry about messing up: Not every joke you tell will always elicit laughter. Just laugh it off or simply ignore the lack of response. Whatever you do don’t keep telling jokes trying to get your audience to laugh. This comes off as desperate and pathetic.

When do April Fools jokes go too far and turn into bad jokes?
Article by jhoana cooper
April Fools jokes come around on the first of every April, which in the United States is known as April Fool’s Day. The purpose of these jokes is to take advantage of someone and fool them into believing some outlandish lie. In some cases, the person with a good sense of humor gets the joke. In other cases, it turns into one of many bad jokes that has poor consequences. When you tell April Fools jokes, you should be careful of not scaring a person too much or carrying the joke a bit too far, less you end up being the bearer of bad jokes.
A few girlfriends got together and decided to play an April Fools joke on one of their friends. The joke was that one of the friends would tell the victim, as the recipient of these jokes is pretty much a victim, that the other friend had passed out, could not be revived and had to be taken away in an ambulance. This type of joke falls into the category of bad jokes. It is a bad idea to tell someone, while they are at work that a good friend is in serious condition and being carted away to a hospital.
This joke got worse as the girl, who could not leave work, called the father of the girl who was supposedly in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. The father panicked and then called all of his relatives, including the mother of the girl who was at work. The entire family was in an uproar and the father was about to leave work as well, along with the mother and half the family, to rush to the hospital. For some reason, he called the cell phone of his daughter and found out that she was fine and that this was an April Fools joke.
This turned into one of those bad jokes quickly. The original victim was furious with her friend as were the parents of the girl who played the joke. This escalated into a retaliatory April Fools joke that implied the police were looking for the two girls who played the joke, which they believed. One of the mothers of the girls called the police station and the office there knew nothing about such an arrest.
April Fools jokes can be fun but can escalate into bad jokes if they are created to cause a panic in the people around them. In this case, all of the girls were grounded by their parents for participating in these bad jokes that none of the adults found amusing. If you want to play jokes of April Fools, you can go online and get good jokes that will not frighten anyone severely, cause people to leave their jobs and call the police and are considered more harmless pranks than bad jokes.
