We are used to jokes and jokes that first keep us tense and then reveal our humorous nature. The whole world for thousands of years has been laughing at jokes of various kinds. People tell them in different situations, but they still cause laughter. But what about one word? Can it make a person laugh?
Joke essence
Each joke has a single composition, like all living cells, there is a single plan for constructing a joke, which you must adhere to in order to receive that very laugh. Everyone knows the structure of the joke: setup (installation, the beginning of the joke, the plot of a plot), and then the punchline (the climax, denouement, which they laugh at). It is as old as the world, and everyone laughs because the "plot" holds the listener for a while, and then suddenly breaks his hopes with a "denouement" and therefore it is ridiculous. Many well-known comedians have talked about this and are talking about it today, for example, Jimmy Carr (the British comedian), who brought it to perfection and uses sophisticated technology all his stage life, and all his new jokes are fresh and relevant. But what about one word? Is there the funniest word in the world? Let's look into this issue. And what's more, are there any funniest words in Russian?
Funny words
In fact, there are hundreds of funny words, but for each person, this hundred is different. Someone thinks the word navel is ridiculous, someone says pipka, and so on. Here is a short list of the funniest words in the world in Russian according to the FISHKI website:
- A pipka or pipitz (a pipe, pipe, pipe, pipe inserted into something).
- Swag (profit, live or bribe).
- Mimozyr (open, onlooker).
- Khukhrya (fuzzy, messy, messy).
- Kozloder (a bad singer with a nasty, high, hoarse and trembling voice).
Some people, looking at this list, maximum grinned, while others did not show emotion at all. People don’t like the shortest “funniest words in the world” because they require a tie and then a denouement. Humor is already a whole science, therefore it is so difficult to consolidate in ordinary words, which should be ridiculed only by their existence and sound, and not by meaning, etc.
The history of the denouement is important for people; they want to know how the semantic thread led them to this conclusion. With each joke, a person rides as if on a roller coaster and receives new emotions and sensations from each ride on a roller coaster, because every time it is something new. Humor breaks people's stereotypes, their habitual train of thought, their logic. That is why the joke uttered the second time is no longer funny. But there are some saviors in the world of one-word humor that rare people even laugh at. What are these funny words in the world?
Fictional Ukrainian words - savior
False information about translations of some words into Ukrainian has long been walking on the Internet. This was done, most likely, for the sake of laughter, without any insult to the Ukrainian people and their language. Here are some examples:
- Gynecologist - stupor.
- The lighter is a sleeper.
- Butterfly - zalupіvka.
- Koschey the Immortal - Chahlik the Undying.
- The nurse is a shtrikalka.
- Kinder surprise - egg-spodіvayko.
Laughing at such words is mostly explained by the fact that some of the words from the list are similar to the Russian mat, which makes us laugh. But the Russian mar itself is not funny, because for some people it is a taboo. Profanity is only in some cases a finishing touch to the joke itself, expressing a vivid spectrum of emotions.
Joke example
Let's analyze the structure of a joke using an example:
I love to study cytology, because I keep my girlfriend in a cage.
This joke was invented by students in class 9 when they began to study biology, and it shows the structure of the joke well. The plot “I love to study cytology” tells about the main information of the joke, which is useful in isolation. Cytology is a science that studies the cell of animals or plants. And in the denouement, we see "because I keep my girlfriend in a cage." Here is the most interesting and most popular method of creating a joke - a pun. Since cytology studies a cell, it is logical that this cell (animal or plant) will be discussed further, but then the joke sharply turns towards the cell in which the person is kept (in this context, the girl). This is a play on words: one word that has two or more meanings. Also a pun can be with phrases.
And if this joke was from one word "cell", then would it be funny? We understand that the word "cell" is not included in the list of the funniest words in the world, but still. No funny word can replace the meaning. The same joke "The Gingerbread Man Hanged himself" consists of at least two words.
Conclusion
Humor is a complicated science in which there is nothing permanent, because even the main thing here (a joke) is a product that quickly deteriorates and quickly ceases to be relevant. This is not an atom or molecule for you. Each person has his own humor, and each person has the right to laugh at what seemed funny to him. Be it a huge humorous story, a short joke or just one word. Yes, one word ruins humor, because this great invention of man comes down to simple laughter due to a strange sound. The joke lacks interesting methods, secret meanings and interesting and curious information that destroys your familiar world, filling it with laughter.
