Joke of the Day for Work: Best Work Appropriate Jokes

A joke of the day for work can certainly help make an office more fun. Jokes and an environment that embraces humor keeps morale high and helps staff form great work relationships.

Jokes can come in all shapes and sizes - they can be extremely relatable or completely farfetched! With the oldest joke dating back to 1900 BC, we’ve been cracking jokes for millennia, so much so, we now pay comedians to tell us jokes on a stage.

Since the days of the chicken crossing the road, jokes have become wilder and more elaborate. When telling a joke it’s important to set the scene, build up the audience with some charisma and then deliver a witty punchline! With that in mind, here are some jokes of the day for work that you can share with your colleagues.

We have the one liners...

1. Someone has stolen my Microsoft Office and they are going to pay for it... You have my Word.
2. Our computers went down at work today, so we had to do everything manually. It took me 20 minutes to shuffle the cards for Solitaire.
3. My new colleagues are so much fun, they write names on all the food. Yesterday, I ate a yogurt named ‘Susan’; how cute is that?
4. I refused to believe my road worker father was stealing from his job, but when I got home, all the signs were there.
5. I got a job at a paperless office. Everything was great until I needed to use the bathroom.
6. Now I’ve gotten into astronomy, my whole career is looking up.
7. I went for an interview for an office job today. The interviewer told me I’d start on $2,000 a month, which would increase to $2,500 a month after six months’ time. I told them I’d start in six months.
8. My memory has gotten so bad it has actually caused me to lose my job. I’m still employed, I just can’t remember where.
9. My boss told me to stop acting like a flamingo, so I had to put my foot down.
10. There’s nothing like being the first one on a conference call to show everyone who’s not boss.

While office jokes are a way to make your workday lighter, you could also make it more streamlined by using a central digital location to manage your services. This is exactly what a client portal like Clinked offers - a professional online place to work with clients and colleagues as well as store files and manage tasks.

We also have the slapstick, Christmas cracker, question and answer jokes:

   Adobe Sign Kenobi
3. Why can’t you trust Atoms?
