This article explores the nature of jokes by examining two distinct theories of bisociation: Koestler's theory, which posits a clash between two self-consistent but incompatible frames of reference, and a modified version that emphasizes the role of a mediating 'joke realm.' Johnson argues that neither theory fully accounts for the complexities of humor, particularly the element of aggression often present in jokes. He introduces the concept of a 'joke realm' as a space where aggression can be expressed without real-world consequences, suggesting that jokes function as a form of mock aggression, allowing for the playful violation of social norms
