In the creation of humorous products, certain communities, regions, places and individuals have had a special humor skill and came to the fore especially in the anecdote type. In this context, the city of Tabriz is a city of humor with its unique world of jokes, Eşekler Kahvesi (Donkeys’ Coffeehouse), which has both political and humorous qualities, and quick-response “dübbe” that we can call humorous narrators and people. Based on this information, we determined the subject of this article as the humor of the city of Tabriz. In the article, we first gave information about the genre of humor and joke in Iranian Azerbaijan. Then, we gave brief information about the historical and oral cultural products of the city of Tabriz, which we determined as the sample area for our article.
