others. They examined if presenters paused or spoke faster when saying the punchline. Their findings for the pauses that occurred in a joke were longer at the beginning of the joke than the slight pause that happened before the punchline. Attardo and Pickering (2011) also discovered that the pace of a joke remained the same from beginning to end.
