Doing this might be a little tough, but the results are well worth the effort! There are different ways people can make a joke that’ll crack the next person up.
They can make fun of themselves as well as make fun of their life partner or someone they’re in a relationship with, and even if they don’t have one, they use the general spouse concept. Numerous individuals can relate to this, and they’ll let out a couple of loud snickers.
Some can make use of a group of fashionistas, government officials, wealthy people, kids, and so on. You can joke about a situation or a place, but in all these, one has to be careful not to take it too far.
Nonetheless, there are certain people who don't understand jokes even if they’re explained, and this brings about a negative response. This is what this Redditor by the name u/Cheap_Extension5015 had to deal with when she dropped a harmless joke on her MIL.
