Why?

So, a friend and I started explaining jokes all the time, after they were told. This a little awkward when new people were present, since they had to figure out are we playing some game, or we hated the guy who just told a joke, or we are just plain stupid.

A friend of ours who memorized some 250.000 jokes and entered the Guinness Book of records for telling jokes non stop for 45 hours (back in the 90's) didn't like the idea at first. Then, with time, he got hooked on this simple joke deconstruction and said that he is missing it when we aren't around. He wanted us to appear on his TV show, but we refused since we are fairly intelligent business people ;-)

We don't see each other much lately but whenever we meet and someone says a joke, we just look at each other and burst in laughter. Will see does this type of humour work in web form.
