Not everyone knows how to distinguish flat jokes from high-quality humor. And all because today comedians do not have time to work efficiently. After all, you need to write a new program for a long time, then rehearse, and why bother yourself when you can also tour with the old one? Today we will analyze the concept of a flat joke and give examples.

Definition

Flat jokes are mockery of a person, which can sometimes even sound offensive. There is another definition. Flat jokes are called anecdotes and aphorisms that everyone already knows by heart and, accordingly, they do not cause laughter. Usually people with low intelligence resort to this method of entertaining the crowd, who cannot always determine in which situation they should speak, and where it is better to keep their mouths shut.

Why are the jokes flat? There are many strange synonyms in Russian. Some of them are the words "flat" and "vulgar". After all, most of these jokes are just indecent and vulgar. And there is also a common expression that there are more flat jokes in the headfits.

Examples

To understand exactly where the deceit lies in bad humor, you need to look at it from the outside. An example of a flat joke: nothing that caviar is black - it would be white bread. It's not funny. Everyone understands that black caviar is a delicacy that is not available to everyone. Therefore, it is simply inappropriate to speak about her in a disparaging tone.

Or here's another example: a fat barrel gave birth to a son. Well, how can you laugh at it? A woman who was pregnant, even if she really looked like a barrel, still deserves respect. After all, she was carrying a child - the future of our country. And some teenagers can laugh so dismissively. There is no other way to call such a joke other than rudeness.

Flat jokes often fly to people who have some kind of physical handicap. For example, a fat guy can be offended by a joke: with your belly you can knock anyone down. Naturally, it would be a shame to hear about such an exaggeration of physical inferiority.

Why do people joke flatly?

Most often this is done by those persons who lack intelligence. They don't know what flat jokes mean. They think their humor is great. After all, they also watch various stand-ups and rap battles. And if there their favorite artists publicly insult each other, then why not follow their example and make flat jokes? People cannot recognize the difference between what is acceptable and what to say and dougly. Today, when moral standards are falling, everyone can afford a lot. Including being free to insult anyone.

But it can't be otherwise. Young people are brought up by television, and since it shows television programs where people joke rather mediocrely, then the audience will take an example from their idols. It is worth developing a sense of taste for good humor. You can make fun of friends, but if you don’t know how to do this, but you still want to joke, you should laugh at the situation, and not at a specific person.

How to develop a sense of humor?

The flattest jokes come from very narrow-minded people. Therefore, in order to learn to understand the difference between good humor and bad, you need to have high intelligence. Indeed, in this case, you do not have to explain what exactly is funny in a joke. To some people, jokes seem unfunny because they tell, for example, about historical events that the listener is not aware of at all.

Also, to improve your sense of humor, you need to constantly practice. And always act according to such a plan: first think, then speak. After all, in the process of training, you can inadvertently offend a very good person who has done nothing wrong to you. The more you notice, notice and joke about it, the better you will get. And first of all, you need to learn to laugh at yourself and life situations. It will be easier for others to accept jokes from those who are not afraid to make a sharp remark in their address.

You should choose your idols, who are considered well-known comedians of the world scale. They are loved by the inhabitants of most of the planet, which means that their humor is held in high esteem not only in Russia. This is the level you should aim for. You should memorize statements, analyze the topics of those aphorisms that you like and, having drawn conclusions from this, try to compose your own unique jokes.
