practical joke - For April Fool's Day I thought it would be hilarious to wrap up my flatmate's car with wet toilet paper. She absolutely furious and couldn't see the funny side., pun - My father-in-law asked what I thought of the soup he had made. I said 'It's soup-er!' and cracked up, but he didn't get it., slapstick - My four-year-old niece was making a huge fuss about putting on her shoes. To make her laugh, I pretended to try to put her shoes on my feet, and then my hands, and then my ears, which of course looked increadibly ridiculous. Not only did she laugh, I also got her to put on her shoes!, black humour - My colleague told me her pet bird had died, and she had got another one that was identical. I joked 'Why on earth would you want two dead birds?' She just went really quiet., dry humour - My new friend offered me a cup of tea, and I admitted that I don't actually drink tea. She said, while keeping a completely straight face, 'Sorry, I can't be friends with someone who doesn't drink tea.' I was pretty sure she was pulling my leg though., satire - I wrote a fake interview with our mayor for my university's student newspaper, exaggerating her views about issues to show how extreme they were. I got a lot of comments about it, although some people thought I really had interviewed her., stereotype - At a party, I was introduced to an accountant and I made a joke about how that must get a little boring. He didn't look amused., irony - My friend and I had been relaxing on a gorgeous beach all day. 'It's a hard life, isn't it?' commented my friend. I smiled and replied 'Yeah, totally miserable.',
