Anti-jokes guaranteed to make you chuckle

Anti-jokes are in a league of their own when it comes to humor. Short jokes, bad jokes, and even corny 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 humor 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 humor'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.
