People confuse the subject of the joke with the target of the joke, and they're very rarely the same.

Some people, they just don't get a joke.
Sometimes an actor will stumble on the joke, and I'm right on them. Back it up before the audience hears the bad version of the joke, because humor is 90% surprise. If they know what's coming, they won't laugh as hard.
You learn what can become a good joke and can be repeatable. You have a shorthand about how to introduce a joke to someone.
I'm not the type of person who thinks up a joke and has to tell everyone.
It's easier not to make a particular joke in case it offends. But every joke will offend someone, and I've always believed that the audience is bigger than one person. The danger is that things will become bland.
I detest jokes - when somebody tells me one, I feel my IQ dropping; the brain cells start to disappear. But something is funny when the person delivering the line doesn't know it's funny or doesn't treat it as a joke. Maybe it comes from a place of truth, or it's a sort of rage against society.
I do things, and other people laugh at them. I rarely know what the joke is supposed to be or why they're laughing.
I've never really told jokes. I'm not good at it.
I cannot tell a joke. But I can do a situation, that it becomes a joke.
If you're showing people where it's smooth sailing, where is the joke? If you go back to any movie, even a conventional movie, with any comedians, they're either not terribly intelligent or they're not doing something well.
