One key factor is the ability to suspend one's concept of reality temporarily. Amazingly, as many as half of the people hearing a joke cannot see the humor because they see the imaginary conditions in the joke as real.
Especially if there are some gory details in the joke. The sticklers for reality may actually be offended by the attempt to make them laugh.
During my first attempt to write a science fiction movie script, I consulted many different sources about the story and the proper form for screenplays. One very credible source with a good track record offered to evaluate my story and possibly offer some of the accepted standards of writing as a service, in which they might actually ghostwrite the story.
In the evaluation, the reviewer stated that one key aspect in my science fiction story was unbelievable. My first thought was that the reviewer was joking or perhaps testing my resolve to defend the story under critical analysis. Whatever the reviewers reason was for the incredible analysis, fortunately my instructor in screenwriting offered to do the ghostwriting and to make sure the industry standards of structuring a professional screenplay were followed.
The reviewer of the incredible analysis charged me about 150 dollars. The ghostwriting service arranged by my instructor received fifteen hundred dollars. My instructor received another fifteen hundred dollars to review the ghostwriting. The Management Service which my instructor arranged received an additional fee of six thousand dollars.
Simply believing in my story as it was intended to be, a work of fiction, was worth about 60 times the unbelief.
