I still think that, hopefully, you're not ahead of the jokes, and I think that has value. There is a punchline and it's pointed - and, again, whether you think it's funny or not, that's subjective.
You can't just yell jokes at people.
I just often find myself getting shrill, angry and the jokes get more incredulous.
