Yes, joking can be considered a cultural universal, as humor exists in some form in every known culture. However, the style, content, and context of jokes can vary significantly across different societies, reflecting unique cultural values, norms, and social dynamics. While the mechanism of humor—using incongruity, surprise, or absurdity—remains consistent, the interpretation and acceptability of jokes can differ widely. Thus, while the act of joking is universal, its expression is culturally specific.
