Abstract

What meaning do jokes play in the society? What do people express by telling jokes? Humor in general and particularly jokes are a part of folclore of any society or ethnic group. The result of my content analyses is 5 thematic categories of jokes and a list of 11 typical problems of the society.

I argue that 5 categories mentioned could bee seen as 5 typical issues people were thinking of during comminist regime.
