35 Of The Best One-Line Jokes That Are Surprisingly Funny

A long joke can be enjoyable because it develops the plot and allows you time to picture the scenario and consider how you would react. But the ending is when you are given something absolutely unexpected, and that is what will make you laugh.

Short jokes, however, can be effective since they frequently rely on wordplay or everyday scenarios that, even if they don't immediately make you laugh out loud, will at the very least put a smile on your face. One-liners have a whole subreddit dedicated to them, and it was created back in 2009.

It has accumulated over 150k subscribers over the years, and people continue to submit new jokes there on a regular basis. The founder of the subreddit defines a one-liner in the description by saying:

"A one-liner is a succinct, funny, or witty remark. The joke should fit into one or two sentences."

Try not to confuse this with a short joke because "generally, if your joke would be funnier if it was written into more sentences, it's probably not a one-liner." The second statement, however, can be seen as a one-liner if it is a brief sentence.

A one-liner, despite its straightforward structure, requires a lot of mental effort for the brain to analyze and comprehend, making it a complicated kind of humor. So we’ve compiled the funniest one-liners from this subreddit for you to enjoy.
