Bad jokes are a proud tradition. These bad jokes bring groans, puns, and punchlines that miss on purpose. Every line is original, clean, and written for readers who laugh at the setup and the flop. The groan is half the fun.
So pour some coffee and settle into your favorite chair. They work best when read aloud. Your groan is the applause.
Tip: Save the groaners for group chats. They work well in captions, cards, and family threads. They suit anyone who loves a pun, however painful.
