One thought I have on the topic of the type of humor is this: I think "corny" jokes are a risky path for PR. As a blogger, I can tell you I delete any jokes that I don't think are "clever". Which is one of the problems of trying to be funny - there's so many different definitions of funny. :) Great post, completely agreed with the concept.

I have used clever puns in headlines, subject headings, quickly explained them in the subheads and they've worked. Dilbert, The Daily Show, etc. all show that truth and funny work. The biggest tip is still, the humor must be backed up by a REAL story. Thanks for these ideas. Creative, not expensive: Yes.
