35 of the Funniest Two-Liner Jokes
‘What did Kermit the Frog say at Jim Henson’s funeral?’ ‘Nothing’
While one-liners have mastered brevity, two-liners have a little extra room to stretch the medium. Though obviously still short and to the point, two-liners accomplish what a one-liner couldn’t, as proven by the following one-two punch: Two cannibals are eating dinner together. One says “Geez, I hate my mother,” and the other replies, “Well, try the potatoes.”
See? You don’t really need any more detail than that.
On that brief note, a number of different Redditors have shared their favorite jokes that take up very little narrative space, including those about London stabbings, a sluggish snail and how many Germans it takes to screw in a lightbulb.
