How To Think Up Jokes

Games : Party Games

If you are thinking up jokes, then note that the most successful ones are so-called play on words.

This is where you use a word or sentence to lead the listener down one path, and then you use it to go down another path and they realise that you are using the word in a completely different way.

This clever use of words is sure to bring a laugh from the other listeners.

The jokes in Christmas crackers and so on which bring a groan often work in this way.

The best way to think up these jokes is to work out words that sound the same but then mean something different.

When you tell these jokes, try to tell them in a casual and so-called deadpan manner, this will make it even better. You could even look slightly confused when people laugh at your joke!
