Undo revision 978493 by DFranks (talk)
A joke is a series of words, phrases, or occasionally actions (as in [[physical humor]]) intended to produce laughter, and not offense. Generally speaking, a joke will contain some exaggeration or absurdity which is difficult to take seriously. Many jokes rely on [[wordplay]] or "[[pun|puns]]", others on current events and still others on the preconceptions of the audience in order to invoke the desire effect.
Jokes can be differentiated from [[mockery]] in that jokes are innocent attempts at humor, while mockery includes intent to harm, ridicule, or embarrass. As such, jokes are typically good-natured, while [[mockery]] is not.
