Anna : Oh, no. Are you serious? Let's go there and visit him now! John : Ha ha ha. I'm joking. He didn't have an accident. Anna : What a tasteless joke!

At face value, adding a little ha-ha to what might otherwise be feature and benefit driven is attention grabbing, memorable, and produces social sharing. Peter McGraw , founder of the Humor Research Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder, cautions against using humor just to get a laugh or to differentiate your brand from the competition.
Make sure your funny campaign has a purpose that relates to your product or integrates with your marketing goals. Ask yourself, What do you want to accomplish with this marketing or communication tactic? Have a goal in mind, and track the results. This could be something softer than an increase in sales, such as an increase in social media interaction. Make sure it relates to your product or service, even if it's in an unexpected or irreverent way.
Be inclusive not exclusive - is the joke widely shareable? Be unique but not too esoteric. To avoid laughing alone, McGraw suggests companies first test humorous stunts. Even the topics seem modern — such as fart jokes and sex gags. These themes also confirm some of the scientific theories of jokes and humour.
For example, humour often involves the realisation of incongruity mismatch between a concept and a situation, violations of social taboos or expectations, the resolution of tension or mocking and a sense of superiority here, over those stupid Aberdites! But, even if jokes tend to be structured in a certain way, over time and place no one thing is guaranteed to make everyone laugh.
Some of this is because time and distance rob the jokes of their cultural meaning. Similarly, a recent study of jokes told by medical doctors in France showed that these often relied on pretty broad sweeping or down right offensive stereotypes — for example that surgeons are megalomaniac tyrants, that anaesthetists are lazy and that psychiatrists are mentally ill.
Within the workplace, especially in stressful jobs, humour is often used to encourage cohesion within a group in order to deal with stress in an acceptable way. But it also works to exclude outsiders, who can find such humour to be unpalatably dark. This last point is important — exclusion of others can help boost group cohesion.
