A joke that enjoys the composition of a person A who makes a certain claim X against a person A whose actions can be criticized using that claim X.
- The image âboomerangâ is used to refer to this type of situation, as in âI threw a boomerang and it came back and hit me.
- The term âboomerang jokeâ was coined by Nishio.
Personally, I feel like I am solving a logic puzzle, but when I tell it directly to person A, it is usually emotional, so I take it out of context and put it in the form of a joke.
- I call these real-life events that were preceded by real-life events ânatural boomerang jokes.â
- Itâs hard to find good quality natural products.
- So now itâs more of a synthetic thing.
If I accumulate some, Iâll make it into a âboomerang joke collectionâ.

- Iâm not particularly interested in the jokes, I collect them for their compositions, so boomerang-like structure or boomerang composition might be a more appropriate name.
