Don't Explain The Joke

He does not like people who explain their jokes, because his name is the Joker.
Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog: you understand it better, but the frog dies in the process.

—Mark Twain

Explaining a joke, for better or worse, can come in five variants:

   1. Someone doesn't get the joke, and has to have it explained. Then again, that doesn't actually kill the joke. It was already dead, since the listener didn't get it in the first place. It can still work, but only if the joke actually is that someone doesn't get the joke.
   2. Explaining the joke with no prompting. This may be done as an attempt at Post Modernism, but it's usually done with jokes that wouldn't need any explaining. It can still work if the explanation is tongue in cheek, but Your Mileage May Vary on how actually funny it is. Sometimes the real joke is about killing the joke by explaining it (cf. Hypocritical Humor).
   3. Explaining the joke actually is part of the joke, and by "part of the joke", I mean, "have sex with me".
   4. The joke-teller or writer has a tin ear for comedic timing, and overdoes the joke without knowing better.
   5. The listener has only the dimmest idea of what constitutes humor, and will blurt out the punchline to ensure that everyone knows s/he's got a sense of humor and they were laughing at something funny. See Seltzer And Friedberg if you need a better explanation.
   6. The joke is German, where a lot of jokes are explained in the end, for some reason.
