Everyone likes to alleviate the tension in their lives and situations by taking help from some very funny and witty jokes. It might come as a surprise, but there is a specific target audience who are comedy fans.

However, developing jokes is not an easy task; rather, it requires one to think and reframe the situations to induce humor in them. This is quite a difficult task which requires intricate thinking skills which involve changing the context of a situation. One of the best ways to start crafting successful jokes is, by noting the words that appear funny but are sensible at the same time. This requires listening to the languages and jargon as used by the people at work, school, family reunions etc. Note their expressions, signature one liners and the way these words are voiced into sentences.

As a next step, these words should be considered as topics for one to ponder upon. This means that one ought to write ten pros and cons about these topics and enlist all of them. The more researched topics a person has, the more creative he or she will be with the ideas to add humor to the situations. Listening is as important as developing a plot for a joke in black and white.

This would allow the person developing a joke, to craft an idea to see the entire scenario from a funny perspective. Moreover, after completion of this stage it is empirical to note down each and every funny expression that comes to one's mind. This does not mean that every sentence should be perfect. The basic idea is capturing the thought process on paper, to be revised later.

Emotions play an important role when it comes to building a joke from the simple phrases drafted out in your work sheet. The funny part should not be over emphasized in the process, or the joke will become too loud and the audience will lose their interest in it. Also in most of the cases the jokes might require acting out some or the entire part of it, which should neither be over exaggerated nor be too subtle to go unnoticed. Once the entire regime ends, make sure to record it, in order to edit, review and improvise later. An important aspect to be kept in mind when developing jokes is to consider the type of audience one will be addressing. The sense of humor for people varies according to their professions, gender and ages etc. One wise move, to stick to when a person has not researched their audience enough is to opt for the clean jokes, which will not be offensive to the any particular sect or community etc.  Hamza Ejaz
