It is Better to Keep Your Jokes Short


Ever experienced any long lecture? Ever gone through any long program? If your answer is yes, then you must know about the boredom that long scripts bring. It make the atmosphere dull and uninteresting. So I always stay in favor of something which is short and simple. Whenever you say something short in descriptive way is more impressive. And today's fast demanding life, no one has time to listen long descriptions so it is always better to keep it short and summaries.

We often take help of jokes for creating fun and humor but i would suggest that jokes should always be short. Long jokes are unable to maintain listeners interest. Short Jokes are three or four liners jokes and able to create instant laughter on others face. They are interesting. I would like add one more point that these jokes are very easy to recall. When we feel like making some fun, they instantly click on our mind and come out. They are so funny that one can not stifle his/her laughter.

I would like to share some positive points of keep your jokes short.

- Listener can easily understand them.

- You can discuss lots of short jokes in very less point of time.

- Your audience will eager to hear more from you.

- It is easy for you to remember all your jokes.

- You can show your comic timing.

In short these short jokes are the best medium to make everyone smile and they are less time consuming. Everyone likes these kind of pranks as they burn boredom. I personally search for the same kind of jokes. The choices of these funny material also depend on the occasion. So always be happy and try to make others happy. It is just a small effort in making you all aware about the humor.

Seven Tips To Telling Better Jokes (From a Comedian Who Really Knows!)


To be honest, I think that most presenters should avoid telling

jokes. But on the other hand, telling jokes around the

water cooler or on the porch while sippin' lemonade is

a time-honored tradition. If it was good enough for

Gramps, why ain't it good enough for us? But if you

are going to tell jokes, you should do it right.

1. Make sure you actually know the joke. Practice

it! Tell it to your kids, your spouse, and your dog.

Trust me, you want to tell the joke a few times

before you do it for real. Nothing will make you

look like a bigger idiot than telling a joke wrong.

2. Scan the internet for jokes to AVOID. Don't

tell jokes that everybody has heard... if your

joke is all over the internet, then this is a great

joke to AVOID.

3. Shorter jokes are better. I know, I know. You think

you're a great story teller. But trust me, your audience

will appreciate you for NOT adding all of the colorful

details and fluff. Just tell the joke. Shorten it if you can.

4. The punch line comes last. And I mean last!

Nothing should come after the punch-line. Consider

this joke done well.

Why Did the chicken cross the road? To get to the

other side.

Now, the same joke when the punch-line is not last.

This is much worse. (I know, that joke is pretty bad on

it's own, but... you get the idea.)

Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other

side of the road which was on a long block because he

wanted to get to his chicken coop.

See? Punch-lines should be last. Period. NOTHING

comes after the punch. (Except for your silence and their laughter.)

5. Keep it clean. And I mean crystal clean. If you wouldn't

tell it to the Queen of England (who probably doesn't like

jokes much anyway) then leave it out. Seriously. If you

have any doubt whether you are "crossing the line," then

don't tell it. Think of it this way: if you tell a joke to 10 people

and 9 of them laugh, then you've still alienated a friend. Don't do it.

6. If you are telling a joke as part of a presentation,

don't take credit for the joke. You can do that before

the joke with something like, "Here's one I read on

the internet." Or after the joke with something like,

"That old joke was on the internet, but it reminds us

to.... (follow with a point.)" If you don't let people know

that his joke is from the internet, you risk looking like a

fool. I guarantee that at least a couple of people in every

audience already know your joke, and if you want to earn

and keep THEIR respect you need to make sure you don't (tacitly) claim that joke to be yours.

7. Don't steal jokes from stand up comics. Unless they are

dead. Jokes are material, and it is how they earn a living.

If you tell it, copy it, email it.... whatever... you devalue the

joke for them. Besides, it's bad karma. :)
