What are the characteristics of funny joke stories?

They are usually short and to the point. For example, 'What's orange and sounds like a parrot? A carrot.' It quickly delivers the punchline.

Funny anti - joke stories often lack the typical build - up and punch - line structure. A normal joke might set up a situation and then deliver a big laugh - out - loud punch - line. However, an anti - joke could be something like a man saying he lost his keys in the supermarket. His friend asks where he last saw them. He says 'Near the apples.' And that's it. There's no big 'aha' moment like in a regular joke. It plays with your expectation of what a joke should be.

Here's one. A turkey says to another turkey on Thanksgiving, 'I'm a little worried.' The other asks, 'Why?' The first one says, 'Well, all these people keep talking about stuffing!'

I can tell you some funny jokes! Why do some people always desperately pursue money and success? Because they didn't know that money and success wouldn't pursue them at all. There was a man who was trapped on an island. He caught a bird and a rabbit and prepared to cook them into a delicious meal. He asked the rabbit,"What do you want to eat?" "I want to eat carrots," the rabbit replied. He asked the bird,"What do you want to eat?" The bird replied,"I want to eat rabbits." The man immediately released the rabbit and the bird flew away. Why do some people always desperately pursue love? Because they didn't know that love wouldn't pursue them at all. A man went to the interviewer and asked him,"What do you think are your shortcomings?" The man replied,"I think I'm too honest." The interviewer asked,"What's wrong with that?" The man replied,"I don't think there's anything wrong with it." The interviewer said,"I agree with you, but that's not a flaw." The man replied,"I don't care what you think." Why do some people always desperately pursue comfort? Because they didn't know that comfort wouldn't pursue them at all.

Two bears were walking in the forest when one of them said,"Hey, do you see that brown thing?" The other bear replied,"Oh, you mean the brown bear?" The first bear said,"No, I mean that tree." It was a simple joke, but it showed how conversations between characters in web novels often led to misunderstandings and confusion.

Most of them play on words, like homophones or double meanings. A joke such as 'I'm reading a book about anti - gravity. It's impossible to put down.' Here, 'put down' has two meanings - physically putting the book down and being able to stop reading it, which creates the humor.

One characteristic is the unexpected and often morbid twists. For example, in a joke like 'I used to be a banker, but then I lost interest.' It takes a normal concept like losing interest in a job and twists it into a more negative, almost cynical view.

Well, here is a different one. I'm reading a book about anti - gravity. It's impossible to put down. The humor comes from the double meaning of 'put down' which can mean both to stop reading a book and to place something down physically.

A good one is that the past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense. It's a short and clever play on words where 'tense' has a double meaning related to time and the atmosphere in a bar.

Another one is about a bear. A bear walks into a bar and says, 'Give me a whiskey... and a cola.' The bartender asks, 'Why the big pause?' The bear replies, 'I don't know, I was born with them.' It's a clean and funny joke.
