so bad joke then??? good joke must be funny

  Whether a joke is funny to a given person is context dependent. “A dog walks into a bar and says, ‘I cannot see a thing. I’ll open this one.’” Is this a good joke? Do you find it funny? If not, do you happen to be a Summerian circa 1983 BCE?

    Good reference, but I think the context is needed for the joke to make sense in the first place, whather it's funny or not comes later. Further reading: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/tbgetc/comment/i084cmk https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/tbgetc/comme...

  A joke should be funny. Satire doesn't have to be funny; it just needs to make commentary through irony.
