60 Incredibly Short, Clean, Jokes That Are Actually Funny


Everyone needs a go-to joke that they're ready to use in any situation. You probably have your favorite knock-knock jokes or the-chicken-crossed-the-road jokes, but sometimes you need to step up your game a bit; say, when you're at an office party or at your cousin's wedding. But you definitely don't want to be like your weird uncle who always makes things inappropriate. You also can't be that annoying coworker who takes too long to get to the point.

To help your quest in breaking awkward silences and impressing everyone at your next shindig, here are some short and clean jokes submitted by internet users everywhere. Disclaimer: Puns ahead—stay away if you're too cool for puns.
