18 anti-jokes you can’t help but laugh at anyway

Anti-jokes are in a league of their own when it comes to humour. Short jokes, bad jokes and even crony jokes play on words, puns, one-liners, and situations to be funny. The person on the other end of the joke could see the punchline coming from a mile away. Anti-jokes, on the other hand, are humorous because the person on the other end doesn’t expect its punchline. Instead of it being funny or predictable, it could be dry, logical, or even dark. The humour then comes from the literalness of the joke.

Make no mistake, though: good anti-jokes can be some of the funniest jokes you’ve ever heard; the humour’s just a little different. Ready to laugh in a very literal sense? If so, read on to get your fill of funny anti-jokes.
