31 of the Best Jokes Ever Told

There’s no shortage of jokes in the world, and whether you prefer intellectual humor, dirty puns or gags where three guys walk into a bar, there’s bound to be one out there that tickles you more than the rest. But because there’s such an abundance, it can be hard sifting through corny punchlines and overdone setups to find the cream of the crop. 

To make the process easier, Redditors got together and shared a variety of the best jokes they’ve ever heard, including this one:

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said, “Watson, look up and tell me what you see.”

Watson replied, “I see millions and millions of stars.”

“And what do you deduce from that, Watson?”

“Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like Earth out there. And if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life, perhaps like our own. What do you see, Holmes?”

“Watson, I see that somebody stole our tent.”

The rest of these jokes are sure to provide even bigger laughs, including ones about talking dogs, karmic meals and a very wet German guy.
