What signifys a joke?

How can you tell whena person is joking? I believe there a little identifiers that say "what is being said is a joke dont take it serious". Or am i to think every topic or statement is to be taken as a serious thought?

Uh. Usually a mix of context and tone. There are of course situations where someone says something awful and when they get a poor response, just say "I was only joking" which they were not, they just don't want consequences for being awful.
