The author, a participant at a weekly meeting of a multi‐disciplinary mental health team, was struck by the joking during the section of the meeting dedicated to the allocation of cases. Using a qualitatively based method, joking behaviour was found to be related to decision‐making. A ‘joking exchange’ can be understood as an informal mechanism for negotiating hierarchy. Joking can also be seen as a commentary on the ideal of a multi‐disciplinary team
