There was once a man who told a joke at a party. Nobody laughed. Not because it was offensive. Not because it was clever. But because it was about a chair.
The chair was still a chair.
That’s the strange world of anti jokes where humor doesn’t try to be funny… and somehow becomes funnier because of it.
If you’ve ever laughed at something and immediately questioned your life choices, welcome home.
Anti jokes are perfect for Instagram captions, awkward conversations, group chats that died three days ago, and that one friend who always says, “Explain the joke.” Spoiler: you can’t.
Wait until you see the anti joke about traffic lights… it changes absolutely nothing 😏
Or the one about a sandwich that just exists.
Yes. It’s that kind of party.
