IT'S PUNDEMIC...49 REASONS TO LAUGH DURING THE PANDEMIC
49 Coronavirus and Quarantine Jokes to Retrain Your Face to Smile
It's a pundemic.
Humor is essential, even — or especially — in tough times. Shared laughter gives us strength in adversity and can help us feel a bit more in control when the future looks uncertain. Most important, funny jokes — even funny coronavirus and quarantine jokes — bring us together and help us to feel connected, one pandemic quarantine pod to another. And laughter literally makes us stronger: Recent studies have found that a good laugh can boost our dopamine levels and even shore up our immune systems.
So, while we all obviously continue to take COVID-19 very seriously, and follow the recommendations from the CDC and the WHO, we also need to laugh and to have a few moments in the day that feel lighter. A few pandemic jokes might just take your mind off the apocalypse-adjacent state of the world and serve as a reminder that there’s always something, however small, to smile about. From convos with pets to lock down spins on the classic knock-knocks, here are some of the funniest quarantine jokes on the internet.
