As an English major, I find grammar and English joke humorous. The accuracy is incredible, and it makes me sure that I chose the right major. Here are some of my favorite grammar and English jokes.
1. The first rule of English is their are know rules.
Reading that sentence physically hurt me because you can read that sentence with no problem, but you know that the grammar is incorrect.
2. Fahrenheit 451 is a book you can really burn through.
Now, if you haven't read this book, you wouldn't know what the joke behind this was. Basically, it's a book about burning books. Get it? Okay, maybe it wasn't that funny, but I still appreciated it.
3. What do you get when you mix literature and alcohol? Tequila Mockingbird!
Honestly, this is probably my favorite English joke because To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite book. It's just funny, okay?
4. The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.
Get it? Because past, present, and future are tenses? This is gold, people. It's funny.
5. When I was a kid, my English teacher looked my way and said, "Name two pronouns." I said, "Who, me?"
I have so much love for this.
6. Anything that has, "Commas save lives!" at the end are also some of my favorites.
"Let's eat Grandma!" vs "Let's eat, Grandma!"
7. What's the difference between a cat and a comma? One has claws at the end of its paws, and the other is a pause at the end of a clause.
GOLDEN.
8. Spelling is knowing your crap and knowing you're crap.
This is just a great insult within a grammar joke, which I am all about.
These are just some of my favorites becuase I think they're all amazing. I have many more, but I thought that 8 would be enough. This is for all the grammar geeks out there, like myself. I hope you enjoyed it.
