Best One-Liner Jokes to Share with Friends

by

Sometimes all you need is one line to bring the house down. One-liner jokes are short, snappy, and perfect for sharing in group chats, awkward silences, or when someone needs to chill out and laugh already. They’re easy to remember and even easier to deliver — no setup, no back-and-forth, just boom, punchline.

We rounded up the best funny one-liner jokes to share with friends, coworkers, or random strangers who didn’t ask. These are clean, clever, and casually savage. Use responsibly.
