In one of his funny cartoons, a teacher says, amp。Let’s stop for a beer.amp。 said the third man. amp。So am I,amp。 amp。It’s Thursday.amp。 said the second, amp。No,amp。 amp。Is this Wembley[N]?amp。 is a special type of slapstick in which two Chinese edians humorously discuss topics such as bureaucrats, family problems, or other personal topics. Crosstalk can be heardanywhere from small village stages to the largest Beijing theatres, and to radio and television. It is clearly a traditional form of humor well understood by Chinese people.[9] A PLAY ON WORDS is not so obvious as slapstick, but it is funny because of misused or misunderstood language. My favorite example is the story of three elderly gentlemen traveling by train in England. As the train slowed for a stop the first man asked, amp。crosstalkamp。The humor lies in the fact that the second man is saying that his wife is not a other words, she is not a refined woman. The joke is no less funny because it is so often used. The audience knows in advance what will be said, because it is classic humor, and any audience values it even more because of its familiarity.[8] Chinese amp。That was no lady, that was my wife.amp。 The other replies, amp。Who was that lady I saw you with last night?amp。 is the most obvious humor.

One man asks another, amp。SLAPSTICKamp。[5] Typical jokes or humorous stories have a threepart anatomy that is easily recognized. First is the SETUP (or setting), next is the BODY (or story line), and these are followed by the PUNCH LINE[N] (an unexpected or surprise ending) which will make the joke funny if it contains some humor. Usually all three parts are present, and each must be clearly presented[N]. It helps if the story/joke teller uses gestures and language which are well known to the audience.[6] Humor, as a form of entertainment, can be analyzed in order to discover what makes a funny story or joke seem funny. Here, for example, are some of the most mon types of humor. They range from the most obvious humor to the more subtle types.[7] amp。Aha, I fooled you again.amp。 Some people have a better sense of humor than others just as some people have more musical talent, mathematical talent, etc. than others. A truly funny person has a joke for every occasion, and when one is told, that triggers an entire string of jokes from that person’s memory bank.[N] A humorless person is not likely to be the most popular person in a group. It is reasonable to say that the truly humorous individual is not only well liked, but is often the focus of attention in any gathering.[4] Even some animals have a sense of humor. My wife’s mother often visited us for extended stays.[N] She normally didn’t like dogs, but she fell in love withBlitzen[N]—a female Lab[N] we had, and the relationship was mutual. Even when young
