How did you make up the joke? How to write a paragraph quickly?

We often swipe Weibo and Moments.

When you see some hilarious jokes, in fact, these jokes are quite worthwhile! In my opinion, there are two kinds of jokes in a broad sense, one is to be clever and the other is to make up jokes. The former is interactive, mainly in daily conversations, where the other party says a relatively bland sentence, and we respond to it in a clever way, like a cross talk.

Funny, but the jitter of everyday conversation is unconscious; Zhihu.

It is also a platform for jitter wit, as it takes the form of a Q&A. The latter is a monologue, a paragraph of a paragraph, it must be a "paragraph", that is, it cannot rely on an other like the former, because the dialogue is often interspersed with short sentences, so as to facilitate the faster exchange of information, and the words that become "paragraphs" generally appear in the text, fixed in the form of written words, and the form in which it is spoken is a monologue; Weibo is a typical representative, it is a "broadcast", occasionally ** interact with other users, but more often, a broadcast from the individual to other users, to this point has actually completed the role of Weibo.

First we need to ask a question: why do we laugh?

Here I would like to share with you a joke by a well-known humor master, Professor Weibo Yin, as an example: "Who would have thought that the air-raid shelter was originally an empty hole. You may laugh when you see this, but if you take this sentence apart and "analyze", the laughter will disappear completely.

The "bomb shelter" was originally meant to be an air raid shelter, but now it has been turned into a hollow protection zone; On the other hand, the bomb shelter itself is a hole, and it is empty, but literally, "preventing a hole" is still a "hole". Here the concept of the word "hollow" is replaced.

But think about it. If it's taken apart, do you think it's still funny? At most, I can say that "the Chinese language is really broad and profound".

I've always believed that Shake Witt is always based on dialogue, otherwise it's hard to resonate with others.

Duanzi: It is a form of literature and art that the people like to see, and it is called baggage in cross talk, and it is called a joke in ancient times. With the rise of Weibo and WeChat, watching jokes on mobile phones has increasingly become an entertainment activity for working people after dinner.

As the influence of jokes is getting stronger day by day, there is a tendency for writers and non-writers in China to make jokes in all forms of creation and work, such as movies, advertorials, advertisements, Zhihu, TV programs, training, tearing and other kinds of work. Mr. Ma Boyong once said that there are three typical modes of paragraph creation: homophonic misunderstanding, expectation violation and different reading.

In fact, the problem here is that only the expectation violation is the typical basic structure of the paragraph, and homophonic misreading and homophonic misreading are all ways to form the expectation violation.

And the effect of the joke comes from the logical habit of thinking of everyone in our lives, if you are used to reading the joke and have been used to all kinds of stalks, you may feel that there is nothing ridiculous. This is because you have already seen the arrangement of the "strange soldiers" of the paragraph, and you know that the strange soldiers are in **, and you have already taken precautions psychologically, so you naturally feel that it is nothing.

Therefore, the key to the creation of jokes is to be able to open up a "new perspective" on the "familiar logic", and then subvert this logic to form a contrast, and produce a hilarious result. The regular soldier is responsible for the narrative foreshadowing, and the strange soldier is responsible for the contrast and shaking the burden. Personally, I have read thousands of paragraphs, and almost 99% of them are structured in the form of "winning with the right and winning with the odd".

Then, in addition to the basic rules of "Zhengqi", the following details should also be paid attention to:

1. There can be fewer regular soldiers, but they must not be without, otherwise the strange soldiers are not amazing.

2. Pick up ready-made (take advantage of the situation), the so-called "situation" in the art of war

3. The soldiers are fast, and they must not be procrastinated.

4. "To people but not to people", let the audience follow your rhythm.

5. The greater the difference between Zhengqi, the more obvious the laughing fruit.

Having said all this, the friends now know how the joke came about.

Jokes can be said to be people's favorite to watch now, and when they are bored, they love to watch jokes, so how did the jokes come out, in fact, it is the same as describing their own things, telling a short story, making it have a sense of picture, funny and connotation.

The first is attitude, whether you can have a heart to become a domestic joker. At first, the people who wrote the paragraphs, because they had no experience, so the things they wrote would be very dull and everyone read. At this time, you need to adjust your attitude, believe that you can succeed, and become an extraordinary and popular joker.

The second is accumulation. Accumulation is said to be easy, but in fact it is the most difficult. Accumulation needs to start from the following aspects:

1.Read more domestic classic celebrity writings and copy down good sentences so that they can come in handy in the future; 2.Read more prose, there will be a lot of incisive and touching sentences in it, and it is best to memorize it when you copy it, because the knowledge that can be memorized is the real knowledge; 3.

You can go to the forum, publish articles and "connotative paragraphs" and "jokes" to see how people write.

The third is persistence. As the saying goes, persistence is victory, because we who have just started trying to write jokes may not be favored to be able to write good jokes and jokes that are popular with everyone, but as long as you believe in yourself and keep trying to write and submit, then you will break through yourself, and when the time comes, there will be a large number of viewers and fans. The following are some channels that you can try to practice actual combat:

Connotation jokes, jokes, encyclopedias, connotation jokes and so on. There are a bunch of online jokers on it, learn more of the master's jokes and submit more of your own works. Every thumbs up from others can be regarded as your own progress.

Jokes are a kind of text expression that we like to see in our daily life, with a long historical background, called baggage in cross talk, called jokes in ancient times, and with the development of mobile phone software, people are more and more on mobile phone software, and jokes have become a kind of entertainment after dinner.

There are two components to the joke, foreshadowing and laughter, foreshadowing is to introduce background knowledge or setting, and laughter is laughter that can make people laugh. The point of writing a joke is to laugh at it. The laughter should be impactful, otherwise others will be confused and will not be able to laugh; The joke must be placed at the end, if others laugh, the rest of the content will be lost.

And the joke is also a story, there must be a reversal, the more 180-degree turns, the funnier it is.

Example 1: User: My set-top box is broken.

Customer service: Sir, what's wrong with the set-top box?

User: Now there are at least five or six TV stations that play "Wulin Gaiden", and three stations play "Journey to the West", so many stations play the same program, it is definitely a broken set-top box.

Customer service: ......Example 2:

A: "Do you know what is the most popular holiday?" ”

B: "Chinese New Year? ”

A: "No! ”

B: "Then what kind of holiday did you say?" ”

A: "Actually, it's the Qingming Festival, not only for the living, but also for the dead!" ”

The answer is inconsistent, this technique is to have a sentence in front of you, there is a contrast between the first half and the second half, the two of them are completely different, and create laughter through contrast. Second, it sells miserably, there is a very strange gene in human nature. I like to watch people make a fool of themselves, just like if your colleague is walking on the road and falling, you will definitely laugh at her, help your friend shoot ** is particularly ugly, make it into an emoji, and everyone will laugh.

3. Change the existing content, there are some idioms or terms in our lives or particularly classic jokes, such as: The river god fell into the water, whenever you create these, there will be some laughs. Fourth, the text stalk, pay more attention to life, the text is a mistake to create laughter.

Since Mr. Ma Boyong said the phrase "three typical paradigms of jokes: homophonic misunderstanding, expectation violation and homogeneous reading", I have seen various people apply this theory on countless occasions.

Personally, I think that Mr. Ma Boyong's summary is not rigorous enough. I remember once flying with him and talking to him about it.

In my opinion, homophonic misunderstanding and homonym are both ways to construct baggage, and expectation violation is the essence of these two methods (and many others). These three words are not the same level and should not be juxtaposed. Homophonic misunderstandings, homophonic pronunciation, etc., should be compared with various others"Narrative trickery"Juxtaposition is more scientific.

Homophonic misunderstanding and homonym are just one of the countless ways to construct "expectation violation". There are many more ways to do this. The jokes we commonly use on the Internet now come from these techniques, and they do not mean that they should be used as a creative guide when writing jokes (especially when asking "write a good joke").

Writing a joke takes inspiration and method. If you have one of the two, it is not difficult to write some effective paragraphs. But to write a lot of "good jokes", both are indispensable.

At the time, my answer was:

1.Start by reading other people's jokes and humor.

2.Always observe the absurdity around you and in your own heart. Especially those who are "undignified and real".

3.Learn to break taboos and rules appropriately.

If you explain it a little:

The first is to read more, to be edified, to be familiar with the styles and routines of various jokes, and inspiration will come from those routines in the future. This is much more useful than memorizing a few stiff nouns and rules.

Second, "good jokes" are not invented, but discovered. Only natural jokes are worthy of being called good jokes, and those who twist and make things are inferior. I have to mention the word "reasonable" again.

"Unexpected" is enough to form a joke, and "reasonable" is the criterion for distinguishing a joke from a good joke. Those stiff homophonies and different readings are annoying.

Third, breaking taboos and rules is to jump out of normal thinking - to jump out of normal thinking, only then can there be "expectation violation".

Fourth, it is technical refinement - it is not appropriate to find a good "expectation violation", but it is not supposed to be held back by the chaotic expression.

If you have a thorough mentality about various things in life, you will find that many seemingly ordinary little things will become a paragraph.
