💬 Personal Opinion: Why I Love (or Kinda Cringe at) Bad Jokes

Let’s be real. I didn’t choose the bad joke life
 the bad joke life told me ten tickles and I never looked back.

They’re predictable. They’re dumb. They’re legendary. Bad jokes are like that one friend who always shows up late—but with snacks. You sigh, you roll your eyes, but secretly, you’re glad they came.

Even Yoyo, our French bulldog mascot, has started communicating exclusively in puns. Last week he chewed up a banana and left a Post-it that said, “I find this a-peel-ing.” He’s unwell. We love him.

🎉 In Conclusion: The Beautiful, Cringey Endurance of Bad Jokes

Bad jokes are the denim jackets of comedy—always a little out of style, always somehow cool again. Whether you laugh out loud or groan into your hoodie, you’re feeling something. And that’s the whole point.

So go ahead—tell that joke that makes the whole group sigh. Text that pun to your friend who’ll pretend to hate it. Whisper “ten tickles” to a stranger at the bus stop (
or maybe don’t).
