9 Laugh Out Loud H READING Read the article. Then match the words and definitions. How to Write a Funny Joke In order to learn how to write a joke that will make people laugh, you first need to consider what makes. a joke funny. One common type of joke is one that shows the irony of a situation. This is when the listener's assumptions about the world are the opposite of the reality in the joke. In addition, you will need to consider your audience. You will get more laughs over different types of jokes with your friends at school than you will with your grandparents. The Setup: Setting up your joke is important. The setup should tell the audience who the characters are. Also, if it's relevant, it should tell us where and when the joke is happening. Next, the joke should go on to explain the details of the situation. Be careful not to make your joke too long or too confusing. Keep it simple and stick to the point. Also, effective jokes have easy ways to differentiate the characters, like the first man and the second man, or the father mouse and the young mouse. The Punch Line: The first rule in writing a good joke is that every joke needs a punch line and, more importantly, a punch word to make the audience laugh. The punch line turns the idea of the joke. Suddenly, the audience can see that their assumptions are different than the reality of the situation in the joke. In a well-written joke, the punch line is the last line of the joke, and the punch word is the last word of the punch line. This is important because otherwise people don't know when to laugh. They will start to laugh, but then stop because they will think that the joke is not over yet. Looking at a Joke: Now let's look at the joke about the parrot that attends a lecture. It's on the first page of Unit 9 of your Student Book. The joke starts: A student with a parrot on his shoulder leaves a lecture theater. Another student follows him... This gives us a clear picture of who the characters are (a student, a parrot, and another student), where the characters are (outside a lecture theater), and when it is taking place (after the lecture). The joke continues: He stops him and says, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I have to say, I was astonished by your parrot's remarkable reaction to the lecture on ancient history. He seemed frightened at the frightening parts, sad at the depressing parts, fascinated at the interesting parts, and amused at the funny parts. I could have sworn I even heard it laugh. I have to say, I was amazed. Don't you find it surprising?" "Yes,” he replies, “I was very surprised..." This is the body of the joke. It explains what has happened. (The parrot was listening to the lecture and seemed to understand it.) It also gives us a clear picture of the other student's assumption (which is likely shared by the audience) that parrots shouldn't be able to understand lectures. The student's question "Don't you find it surprising?" indicates that he assumes the student with the parrot will agree with him, and when he says "I was very surprised” it seems to be confirmed. The joke finishes: He hated the class! "He hated the class!" is the punch line, and "class" is the punch word. By mention of the word "class" the audience knows that the parrot can attend class, and the student thinks it's normal. This juxtaposes the assumption of the listener with the reality of the situation, which in turn, makes the audience laugh! 1. irony a. be a sign of 2. assumption 3. audience b. when the reality is the opposite of the meaning c. guess 5. stick to the point indicate d. put beside; contrast e. people that are listening or watching juxtapose وزارة التعليم Ministry of Education 2024-1446 MG_02_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 317 f. stay on topic Unit 9 317 30/4/24 2:33 AM
9 Laugh Out Loud I Read the jokes and choose the best punch line. Underline the punch word. Which tire was flat? The chemical formula! Who was driving? I am... Tess. I won't have to write anything, right? Well, you told us it's H to O. I won't get sick. I am the ninth letter of the alphabet. What happened to all the books? You don't have any books. Four high school boys were late for their morning classes. After lunch they reported to the teacher that they had had a flat tire on the way to school. Much to their relief, the teacher smiled and said: "Well, you missed the test, so sit down and take out a piece of paper." He waited for them to sit down. Then he said: "First Question: Teacher: Brian, what is the chemical formula for Brian: water? HIJKLMNO. Teacher: What are you saying? Brian: A class of fifth graders was riding along in a school bus, happy to be on an educational trip. The teacher told them that they would write about what they saw for their homework. Most of them were looking out the windows and pointing to different things. All of a sudden, the teacher noticed that a boy was sitting on the floor, between the seats, with his hands over his eyes. "Why are you sitting like that? Are you OK?" "Well," said the boy, "if I don't see anything, " Teacher: Tess, give me a sentence starting with Tess: “།.” I is... Teacher: No, Tess... Always say, "I am." Tess: All right... Student: Mr. Smith, I ain't got no books. Teacher: Young man, you mean, I don't have any books. You don't have any books. We don't have any books. They don't have any books. Do you see what I'm getting at? Student: I think so. " 1. Which joke do you think is the funniest? Why? 2. Which joke is the least funny? Why? •⚫3.
