16 reviews Only Joking
begins with the mechanism of laughter—how it happens and why even
infants do it—then delves into the power of the punch line, exploring
the basics of all jokes, from the use of shock and surprise to advanced
stand-up techniques such as the “pull-back/reveal.” Carr and Greeves go
on to explore taboo humor, jokes that bomb, and the psychology of
finding something funny. They look into the long-standing connection
between politics and humor, and discuss the survival prospects for
contentious jokes in the current political climate. Throughout the book
they conjure up a supporting cast of colorful joke enthusiasts, from
Sigmund Freud to Lenny Bruce, and discuss their influence on the jokes
we tell today. Surveying across national, ethnic, and gender divides,
this rollicking analysis of why joking will always be close to the human
heart is an irresistible exploration of humor that makes clear why we
need a good laugh now more than ever.
