I'm kind of interested in the structure of jokes. Here are a few I've seen recently:
The KBG knocks and a guy answers the door. "Does Rabinovitz live here?" "No." Who are you then?" "Rabinovitz."I thought you said you don't live here?" "You call this living?"
In the gulag, some guys are talking about why they were sentenced.
"I got 10 years for defending [insert Russian name]
I got 15 years for attacking [same Russian name.]
I am [same Russian name.]
A drunk in a bar shouts: all the people on the left hand side of the bars are idiots, and all those on the right are motherfuckers. A guy stands up and says, hey I'm not a motherfucker! and the drunk shouts back, then go to the other side of the bar!
The joke has to work by misdirection, but the punch line still has to follow logically, just go in another direction.
