There are many jokes.[/QUOTE]
Others like those that are described as "burnt", while some prefer those that have an element of surprise at the end.
But is there one that has emerged as the funniest joke in the world? And yet there is. Not only does it exist, but its emergence is the result of research done back in 2001 by psychologist Dr Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire.
Back then he allowed LaughLab visitors from all over the world to vote for the top 5 jokes from a database of around 40,000 jokes. 1.5 million people participated in this survey, which means that the participation was very high.
In first place, the following one came out on top
"Two hunters are in the woods and suddenly one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are rolled back. The other hunter pulls out his phone and calls the emergency number. "My friend is dead, what can I do," he says. On the other end, the answering machine tells him: "Calm down sir, I can help you. First of all, let's make sure he's dead." The silence that follows is interrupted by a gunshot and the hunter says: "OKAY. What else can I do now!"
As he later explained, this particular joke won because it caught readers from all countries, both men and women, and the joke was understandable to young and old alike.
Some others, for example, had many votes only from men or only from young people. But this one had universal recognition
