In this short article, we showcase a great tool that has been in use since a long time, still showing Its effectivity nowadays when It comes to making jokes, the Rule of Three. Let's begin by showcasing what that means.

What's the Rule Of Three:

In a comedic context, the rule of three is simply a comedic rule followed to pitch new jokes or simply write them, establishing that the use of 3 elements, subjects or matters in a joke are more effective for humorous effect. An usual structure for this is where we put two elements that are completely normal and expected as a setup for the expectator and then, at last, a third and completely out of the blue component, adding a nice touch of funny surprise to this last line and closing the joke in a good way.

Examples of the rule of threes:

Here are some recognizable instances of the use of this rule as an effective resource for conveying comedic comments, such as:

Three things in life are certain: Kids, Death and Taxes.

There are only three things women need in life: food, water, and compliments.

I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.

We hope that this article can be of use to you and that you can see results through the use of this principle.
