non-joke

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)

Trombone jokes

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.

joke mail

When somebody signs you up for free subscriptions or free merchandise of useless nature in order for you to be bothered by telemarketers and religious organizations. The instigator hopes that the person being "joked" will receive numerous garbage, telephone calls and whatever else the company sends such as videos and magazines.

I thought I had a parcel but it turned out to be joke mail that somebody signed me up for. Now they call me all the time.
