1. Define the Problem

Luckily we already did that. The Joke Problem aka “How can we state this content in a funny way?”.

So that means in order for us to get an idea we need a Joke Problem. Or even better a Joke Problem Source which provides us with lots and lots of Content and thus Joke Problems to find funny answers to. Which in turn means we get more jokes at the end. Or at least one working joke at the end.

So the first thing we need is content. Things to state in a funny way. And boy do I have good news for you!

The Good News

The definition of a joke is saying something in a funny way.

Which means: We don’t have to start off with something incredibly funny in order to write something good. We don’t have to have a once in a lifetime take on airplane food. We don’t have to be effortlessly funny. Or even be funny when we don’t feel like it.

We just need something to say and express that in a funny way.

And the good news is: We all have something to say. If you have thoughts you have something to say. If you have opinions you have something to say. And even if your own thoughts leave you uninspired you can simply choose a random topic and start writing.

You just need something, anything to write about. Something to have thoughts, opinions and ideas about. Something you want to express in a funny way.

Or simply put: You need a Topic.
