8 English Jokes To Make You Smile

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
