Do you know how to create a joke, and make it a successful one?

What are the ingredients? What should one be aware about? What are the crucial points?

    Of course.

    It's dependent on the time and circumstances, your wit and ability to be quick on the uptake.  You have to have a sensitivity as to what your audience will grasp.    You have to have the ability to grasp what is current and spin it into something funny.     You also better be good at build up if the joke has a point, but is long in the telling before you get to the punch line.

    I like the short and sweet ones myself.

    Sounds all right, Sharonna. Execution is so crucial. Hmm.

  • A premise with an absurd quality
    A play exploiting the  absurd quality
    Unseen direction and spontaneity.   ( can't be expected)
    Expressed in clear manner with the least amount of words.

  • "For life is quite absurd,
    And death's the final word.
    You must always face the curtain with a bow!
    Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
    Enjoy it, it's the last chance anyhow!"

    In other words, give 'em :

    Very much ALF. It might even be crucial if you make it or not. It's a very god advice. :-)
