A joke is a funny saying or a fun situation. It can be a spontaneous expression or a story that makes laugh. The joke (or joke) can be oral, written or graphic.

The intent of the joke is to laugh the receiver (be it listener or Viewer). Its main objective is no humour although some jokes to political and social connotation hide criticism.
The jokes can be classified, subjectively, in good or bad. Good jokes are those that respond to their objective and which make laugh the receiver. Bad jokes, however, fail in their final result.
