  Joke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A joke is a short story or short series of words spoken or communicated with the intent of being laughed at or found humorous by the listener or reader.
Jokes are performed either in a staged situation in front of an audience, or informally for the entertainment of participants and onlookers.
When a technically-good joke is referred changing it with paraphrase, it is not laughable anymore; this is because the paraphrase, changing some term or moving it within the sentence, breaks the joke mechanism (its vividness, brevity and rhythm), and its power and effectiveness are lost.

 Meta-joke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This kind of meta-joke is a joke in which the joke itself, or, rather, a certain category of joke, is part of the joke.
For example, a comedian may tell a terrible or absurd joke on purpose, knowing that the terribleness of the joke itself will be humorous.
This kind of meta-joke is a sarcastic jab at the fact that some jokes are endlessly refitted to different circumstances or characters without significant innovation in the humor.

 Phenomenology Online: Language, the Unconscious and the Formation of a Children's Joke
Furthermore, the joke technique focuses our attention on the wafer as a metaphor for both the absence of the mother (i.e., as a substitute for "away for") and for what stands in the mother's absence as a substitute for her absence.
In the joke expression the cookie's cries can be interpreted as mourning the loss of the phallic mother ("mother was a wafer so long") and as signifying awareness of the threat of castration (the absence of the wafer).
In the joke expression the mother is named by her lack and this name, in turn, is substituted for the lack of a mother.

 Killing Joke
Heavy and slow, Killing Joke (at least early in their career) was a quasi-metal band dancing to a tune of doom and gloom.
The group then seemed to reach another low in 1983 with the release of the 12-inch "Me or You" in which the group seems to be asking, in between choruses of "woo hoo," whether it is the band or the audience that has to change in order for their records to sell.
At this point, Killing Joke tried a grass roots approach to popularity by forming the Organization of the Distant Island Charter, a fan group which was based out of Atkins' hometown of Chicago that sold KJ shirts, buttons, bumper stickers.

Despite its somewhat humorous sound, the word joke is straightforward and not that funny.

 TV ACRES: Censorship & Scandals - Jack Paar's Water Closet ("WC") Joke
The joke was based on the misinterpretation of the initials W.C. --an English lady thinking it was a "water closet" and the Swiss schoolmaster thinking she meant "Wayside Chapel." The NBC censors thought the joke was dirty and cut it from the February 10, 1960 broadcast without consulting with Paar.
When Paar discovered that his four-minute story had been cut, he later walked off in the middle of the live show.
There must be a better way to make a living than this, a way of entertaining people without being constantly involved in some form of controversy.

I have been a long time punk fan and I had recently been getting into a lot of industrial bands as well, but i had always wondered why the two genres were never mixed together.
illing Joke's 1980 eponymous debut (not to be confused with their eponymous 2003 album) is a startling debut, in many ways sounding like it wasn't recorded a quarter century ago, but rather yesterday.
In many ways, its obvious how far ahead of their time they were, whether it be the proto-alternative drudging pace of "Requiem", the highly danceable "Wardance", or the funky "Change", the music on this album is far beyond what their contemporaries were doing.
