Characteristics of connotative jokes

Connotation jokes are different from ordinary jokes. Instead of presenting humorous jokes directly to readers, they hide humorous elements in plain or unreasonable language narration, just like a brain teaser, which requires readers to think by themselves along the context of jokes in order to understand their true connotation.

For example:

An alcoholic went to a winery to apply for a job. The director blindfolded the alcoholic and took out several kinds of wine.

After tasting, the drunkards all said the brand and degree of the wine, and they were all shocked.

The factory director winked at the female secretary, who took a cup of urine and handed it to her.

The drunkard tasted it and said: female, 26 years old, pregnant in March.

For a long time, the audience was silent.

The drunkard thought the application failed and said angrily, If you don't give me this job, I'll tell you who your father is. ...

The factory director and several deputy factory directors immediately said at the same time: You have been admitted!

Look at the superficial meaning of the joke directly, and you can't tell the reason why the drunkard was admitted. Think down the joke: the drunkard was admitted because he threatened to tell who the father of the child who had a bad relationship with the female secretary was, and the factory director and several deputy factory directors agreed to admit the drunkard at the same time, which shows that they are all afraid of the drunkard telling. Why are they afraid? ... you will laugh when you figure it out.

In addition, we can also see that reading meaningful jokes also requires readers' life experience, understanding of current events and linguistic significance in some specific fields. Otherwise, a person who knows nothing about computers can only be confused when watching an IT joke.
