A simple joke given a long pretense with many added details leading to an ultimately disappointing conclusion
Nick Joke:
A man was walking home alone one night when he heard a "BUMP....BUMP....BUMP..." behind him. Walking faster, he looked back, making out an image of an upright coffin banging its way down the middle of the street towards him.
The man began to run toward his home, and the coffin bounced after him faster....faster...
He ran up to his door, fumbled with his keys, opened the door, rushed in, and locked it behind him. The coffin crashed through his door, with the lid of the coffin clapping on the heals of the terrified man. The man rushed upstairs to the bathroom and locked himself in, heart pounding.
With a CRASH, the coffin broke down the door, coming slowly toward him. The man while screaming, reached for something, anything....all he can find was a box of cough drops which he hurled at the coffin...and suddenly the coffin stops.

A joke that only two or more people will understand. It's meant to stay within the group, hence the name "inside joke." Inside jokes are usually made out of random situations and come about on accident. Friends could have entire conversations about just one inside joke. These kinds of jokes are also so much fun to joke about! Inside jokes really bring you and your friends closer together and let you be more comfortable with them and other people
(the example below is actually based off of something that actually happened in Spanish class with me and my friend)
Spanish teacher: Alright class, turn to page 136 in your textbooks. These are verbs with irregular yo forms. Repeat after me. "Hago"
Class: "Hago"
Spanish teacher: "Salgo"
Class: "Slago"
Spanish teacher: "Traigo"
Class: "Traigo"
Spanish teacher: "Pongo"
Class: "Pongo"
Me: (Smiles and tries to hold back laughs as I look across the room at my friend who is also smiling)
Friend: (Mouths this) Pongo the penguin
Me: (Starts to giggle)
Person sitting next to me: What's so funny?
Me: It's an inside joke! Sorry lol
Person sitting next to me: Ok then...

When you're just sitting there and you think of a joke and start laughing. Everyone thinks you're laughing for no reason but really you just thought of something funny. Joke flashbacks can also occur when no one is around.
Ashok: "Hahahahahahah!"
Shan: "What you laughing at?"
Ashok: "Heheh, just had a joke flashback."
or
Ashok: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"
(Silence ensues)
Shan: "What you laughing at?"
Ashok: "Heheh, just had a joke flashback."
or
Ashok: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"
(Silence ensues)

A trombone joke is a joke that often involves the numbers 69 and 420. They usually include the majority of dead 2012 memes, and referring to someone's joke as a trombone joke is usually an insult. Of course, some people find this humor hilarious and will take it as a compliment.
Cashier: That will cost you four dollars and twenty cents
Customer: Blaze it
Cashier: Sir, we don't allow trombone jokes in our store. That is a violation of our rules.

An anecdote that has the setup of a joke (background info, character introductions), but as it goes on, it is revealed to be an anecdote, usually ending in a serious or somber way; can be described as a form of dark humor in some cases.
A man has a dream where a gorilla steals his banana. He tells his wife about his strange dream. She ignores him completely and goes back to sleep. The man rolls over, and he cries as he realizes his marriage is in shambles. (This is an example of a non-joke)
