100 Corny Jokes You Can't Help But Laugh At — Best Life (2024)

These cheesy jokes are sure to make you crack a smile.

Here's a fun fact for you: Do you know why we call cringe-worthy jokes "corny"? It started in the early 20th century, when mail-order seed catalogs tried to make their boring products shine by promoting them with dad jokes and really terrible puns. Just how bad were these quips about corn? Here's one for you: "What did the corn say when he was complimented? Aw, shucks." Here's another: "What did one ear of corn say to the other? Don't look now, but we're being stalked." What do you think? Pretty corny, huh? Anyway, that's where corny jokes got their name, and the tradition continues today, although they're not exclusive to seed catalogs anymore—and they're rarely (if ever) about farming supplies.

Here are 100 of our favorites, guaranteed to make you laugh, even if the rational part of your brain wants to resist. We promise you, we're not trying to sell you seeds. These corny jokes are just for your enjoyment.
