Introduction

Jokes is what makes a someone jest or beam at a thing they find funny. It can take more forms. Often pranks becomes noticeable in pranks, cinemas, shows, issued texts, icons, photos, cartoons, slogans, or achievements (Rodrigues, 1995, 73). Political pranks can take the profile of irony, satire, parody, or ridicule. Jokes build on contradictions and duality. Often the pranks turns the world flipped over, for instance, having the oppressor and the exploited modifying locations or making gloomy circumstances comic. Laughter is the looked frontwards to effect of pranks, but not all population will view the matching pranks as pleasing, principally since pranks are often about a precise someone or gathering (Radcliffe-Brown, 1965, 27).
