A great sense of humor is like the Holy Grail of social skills, whether you’re on a first date, trying to stand out to your boss, or strengthening friendships. Yet in spite of the role it plays in greasing the wheels of our relationships, we’re never really taught how to be funny.

As a team of nerds who are devoted to lifelong learning, we said “screw that!” and refused to believe that being funny is an ephemeral skill left to sheer chance of personality or parentage! And so we compiled a collection of flashcards that are designed to make you funnier.

That’s right, Brainscape’s collection of Funny Jokes flashcards has landed!

Our team scoured thousands of the internet's "best jokes" lists and whittled them down into just the top funniest jokes, puns, and one-liners that are super quick and easy to tell.

We then transformed them into a format that makes them super easy to remember and quickly regurgitate in any appropriate social situation, in a way that best fits the moment. For example:

FRONT:
What’s that joke about hipsters and pizza?

BACK:
(Q) Why did the hipster burn his mouth on the pizza?
(A) Because he ate it before it was cool.

The beauty of this format is that we teach you to associate each joke with a specific keyword or situation that you might encounter in the real world.

This way, when you come across those things in real life, you’ll be able to quickly and seamlessly whip out the perfect joke, like when your brain prompts you to tell your vegetarian friend that their decision to order cauliflower for dinner is a big "missed steak". Badum-tsss!

So what are you waiting for? Entertain yourself and become funnier in the process with Brainscape’s collection of Funny Jokes flashcards, your ultimate repertoire for hilarious jokes.

Oh, and also be sure to check out our guide on ‘How to be funny: 7 ways to improve your sense of humor’, written by Brainscape’s very own comedy writer and learning coach, Thea Beckman.

Armed with these tools, you’ll have everything you need to rise to the challenge of becoming a naturally funnier human!
