“‘What’s the difference between a refrigerator and an elephant?’ ‘What?’ ‘Are you stupid? Like, everything.’” - Nikki Glaser That’s right: This is a list with no observational humor, no prop comedy, and no “comedic songs.” Just pure, unadulterated joke-jokes that you can steal for your next icebreaker. Luckily, Vulture’s comedy podcast Good One has done the work for you, asking comedian guests the question: “What’s your favorite joke-joke?” And now, we’ve compiled a collection of their answers here. As a result, if you need a joke in a pinch, a comedian is not a terrible person to ask. Some comedians love telling street jokes in green rooms, and some carry one around with them in case of a radio appearance or bothersome person sitting next to them on a plane. Comedians tell jokes, but they don’t tell jokes. Eventually, as comedians grew increasingly observational, personal, and political, the idea of doing a stock one-liner became absurd. A century ago, comics might’ve told “street jokes,” but slowly the practice grew hack. Jokes like grandpa tells or the ones from joke books you give your kid have no place onstage - at least anymore.
