Abstract: Humor is a universal human experience, and jokes, as a primary form
of humor, play a significant role in both individual well-being and social dynamics.
This essay explores the various functions of jokes, emphasizing their importance in
fostering social bonding, reducing stress, and challenging societal norms. By
examining how humor helps break the ice between strangers, relieves tension in
stressful situations, and promotes critical thinking about societal structures, the essay
demonstrates that jokes are not merely tools for entertainment but also instruments for
reflection and social change.
