Jokes occur such as other humorous genre in the result of non-coincidence between satisfaction and desire. Jacques Lacan says that the satisfactionis too much or too little, or too early, or too late than desire. Jokes produce a reaction that wants to get away from such a the non-coincidence of the desire and satisfaction. In fact, there are two developing narrative in the structure of joke. The first of these produces pleasure and satisfaction with the expectations of the reader or listener. This narrative continues until the basic indicative in the end of joke. These unusual and uncanny event or situation occurring after the basic indicative, presents a lack of satisfaction that expects the desire. Unexpected, unusual, bizarre and alienating situations and events seen in the psychoanalytic dynamic of joke both reveal extra pleasure and satisfaction and obtain different narrative with the same item in the first narrative. The extra pleasure is occured by the second narrative of the joke removes lack of non coincidence in the satisfaction and desire. First teller of this extra pleasure of jokes is Sigmund Freud. Jokes distinguish itself with both second narrative and temporality from other humorous narrative genres. Which is humorous in other genres, continues from beginning of the sequence to the end. It suddenly occurs in the end of the joke. Therefore humorous situation and desire and satisfaction are instant. At this point, there is a second narrative that established backwards with the first narrative in the structure of the narrative. This second narrative reveals an extra instant pleasure and satisfaction beyond expectations. Jokes with this psychoanalytic structural dynamics differ from other genres.
