Jokes can be more difficult for some people to understand than for others. It can be difficult to initially understand the underlying meaning of innuendos and clever puns.

According to studies, around 70% of people laugh at jokes they don't get. There are many examples of this type of content online because the web is a goldmine of jokes, amusing remarks, and other lighthearted content.

The same brain regions may be activated by comedy and insight comprehension, according to research. This suggests that both take some thought to understand.

Since comedy is a sophisticated type of communication, it should come as no surprise. In addition to linguistic techniques, it also makes use of crucial elements like perception and context.

A skill, often referred to as "mentalization," is essential for using comedy as a means of amusement or communication. You can only start to understand what can be humorous to someone else when you are able to understand others.

We combed through the That's the Joke subreddit for examples of people who unintentionally missed the joke's punchline. And they could even be funnier than the jokes themselves.
