Abstract
Among literary studies, joke is one of the most common types in our daily life. Jokes are sort of short stories which are frequently used in order to add a smile to daily conversations, to soften stressful work life or to exemplify a case. Especially "Temel Jokes" have a crucial place on account of the fact that they are continuously updated and printed versions are available. Furthermore, more than thousands of them can be found on websites. This proves that jokes are widely used. Although these jokes are called as Temel jokes, Temel has a companion whose name is Dursun. In this study, there will be shown the relationship between Temel and Dursun and there will be told about this bilateral heroism which doesn't exist in other jokes. There will be also shown the foundation of this situation on Traditional Turkish Theater and Dursun's role will be explained.
