If you’re looking for some really funny jokes, then take a look at these five I’ve got for you today.

They all made me smile, and I’m confident they’ll tickle your funny bone too.

Enjoy them all, and please feel free to share them.

Really funny jokes:

1. The Parrot:

Jack is a magician performing magic shows on a cruise ship in the Caribbean.

It’s an undemanding workload of two shows a day to a crowd of elderly American tourists, who all seem to enjoy his show.

However, there’s one problem that’s increasingly challenging for Jack, and that’s the captain’s talking parrot, which he brings to every show.

The parrot’s seen Jack’s show so many times that it knows how all the tricks are done, and it reveals these secrets to the audience after each trick.

When there’s a trick with a water jug, the parrot will say, “It’s a fake water jug! “

When there’s a trick with a rabbit, the parrot will say, “The rabbit is under his hat!“

And when there’s the showpiece finale with Jack’s pretty assistant, the parrot will say, “The girl’s hiding under a trapdoor!”

Frustrating as all this is for Jack, the audience thinks it’s part of the act, and they love it.

So instead of coming to see Jack perform his magic tricks, the crowds are turning up to see him being humiliated by the parrot.

To turn things around, Jack’s constantly trying to find a new trick to impress the crowd. A trick that the parrot won’t know how to do.

One day, he announces a spectacular new disappearing trick that involves pyrotechnics and fire.

All the passengers and crew fill the auditorium to see this new trick on the first night it’s being performed.

Unfortunately, as he’s performing it, Jack accidentally ignites a nearby fuel line, causing a series of explosions, resulting in the ship breaking apart and sinking within seconds.

The next morning, as the sun rises, all that’s left of the ship is some floating wreckage with Jack and the parrot clinging to it.

Jack and the parrot glare at each other, but no words are spoken.

This goes on for several days until, at the end of the week, the parrot breaks the silence by saying, “OK, I give up. Where’s the ship?”

2. Little Johnny Joke:

Old Mrs Thompson could hear someone sobbing, so she wandered out into her backyard to see what was going on.

Quickly, she realises that the sobbing sounds are coming from next door.

Naturally, being curious, she looks over the fence to see what’s going on.

There she sees little Johnny, with tears streaming down his cheeks, patting down a large mound of earth with a spade.

“Hello, Johnny,” said Mrs Thompson. “Is everything alright?”

“No, it’s not alright mam,” said Johnny. “My goldfish is dead, and I’ve just had to bury it.“

“I’m sorry to hear that,” Mrs Thompson responded.

Staring momentarily at the mound of earth that Johnny’s patting down, Mrs Thompson then inquired, “That seems like a large grave for a goldfish, Johnny. Why did you make it so big?“

“Because the goldfish is inside your cat!” Johnny responded.

3. The Old Tomb:

In Russia, a group of building workers are digging the foundations for a multistory building when, suddenly, they discover an old tomb.

So, the site manager calls in three groups of experts to investigate. The experts include anthropologists, archaeologists, and the KGB.

The anthropologists looked inside the tomb, did some testing, took photographs, and then produced a report. They conclude that the tomb was that of a nobleman from medieval times. However, they felt more testing was required.

So, the archaeologists started their investigation. They take samples, have them tested in the laboratory, and then check the results against their database. Finally, they agree on a conclusion.

Their report suggests that the tomb, and the body in it, are those of a male, probably in his fifties when he died. They believed that the tomb was sealed around the year 1,100. However, once again, they suggest more investigation is required for a more precise answer.

So, at this point, the KGB entered the tomb. The door was immediately sealed, and nothing could be heard for a few days. Eventually, the door opens again, and the men from the KGB present their conclusion.

The KGB chief says, “We have established that this is the tomb of Vladimir Demidov, born in the year 1,025 on March 9th. He was the ruler of this province for 30 years after his father died of an unknown illness. He was married to Lady Yelizaveta in 1,047. They had no children, and when he died, his tomb was sealed to preserve the sanctity of his rest under the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church, which was demolished in 1,800 when the town was reformed.“

The other experts looked on in amazement until one asked, “How were you able to gather so much precise information so quickly?”

“Well,” said the KGB chief, “we took our time, naturally, but with our methods, it was only a matter of time before the corpse confessed everything.”

4. Three Wishes:

One day, three guys, Jim, Rick, and Bobby, are out having a relaxing day out fishing near Cape Cod.

Suddenly, to their great surprise, they catch a mermaid.

They haul the mermaid up in a net, and she promises them that if they set her free, in return, she will grant each of them a wish.

Jim is unconvinced, so he says, “Alright, if you can grant wishes, then double my IQ.”

“Done!” says the mermaid. Suddenly, Jim has a way with words, can express himself clearly, and can even write poetry effortlessly.

Rick is so amazed at what he’s just witnessed; he says to the mermaid, “Alright, I want you to triple my IQ.”

“Done!” says the mermaid. Suddenly, Rick can do complex arithmetic calculations in his head with ease.

Well, Bobby is truly impressed with what he’s just seen, so he says, “Alright, I want you to quadruple my IQ.”

“Sir,” says the mermaid, “I don’t normally try to change people’s minds when they make a wish, but you really should reconsider your request.”

“Why?” asks Bobby.

“Well, sir,” the mermaid responds, “the implications of what you’re asking will be greater than you think.”

“Well, I don’t care,” says Bobby. “If you want us to set you free, I want my IQ quadrupled.”

The mermaid smiles and says, “As you wish.”

With that, there’s a puff of smoke, and Bobby suddenly turns into a woman.

5. Wasp Expert:

Jim is a world expert on wasps and the sounds they make, and he’s walking along Main Street when he stumbles upon a record shop specialising in vinyl records.

Jim wanders into the store for a look around, and he’s thumbing through the record racks when he finds an album titled ‘Wasps of the World and the Sounds They Make.’

Intrigued, Jim asks if he can listen to a track.

The clerk agrees, and Jim steps into the booth to listen.

Well, he listens, but he doesn’t recognise the sound.

So, Jim says to the clerk, “Hey buddy, I’m an expert on wasp sounds, and I didn’t recognise the sounds on that track.”

“Sir, I’m sorry,” says the clerk. “Let me play you another track.”

Another track is played, but Jim doesn’t recognise that sound.

“Listen, buddy,” says Jim, “I am a wasp expert, and I don’t recognise that sound either.”

“Let me play you another one then,” says the clerk.

Another track is played with the same result.

“No!” says Jim. “I’m sorry, but these are not wasp sounds. I’m an expert, and I’d know.”

The clerk looked puzzled momentarily as he studied the album.

Then he suddenly exclaimed, “I’m sorry! I’ve just realised, I was playing you the bee side.”
