Specifically, it attempts to answer the question why some jokes are hard or almost impossible to be translated to a foreign language and what kinds of jokes are actually too complicated to be translated. The first part of the text describes the author’s methods and goals of the analysis and defines the term ‘joke’. The next part of the paper is dedicated to three central theories of humor. It shows the structure of jokes that works within these basic theories. The examples provided throughout the text come from the Czech and German languages.
