It's somewhat ironic that I'm writing this post about office jokes (no, not the jokes from The Office) while working from the office. Don't get me wrong, I like my job and writing for you peeps or Pandas, whichever you prefer, but let's all be dead honest here. We would all prefer to be somewhere else other than at work. But ya know, we've got bills to pay and responsibilities to fulfill. So I've got a solution for us all. Technically, one shouldn't be doing anything non-work-related. But you know what still counts as job-related? That's right, funny office jokes, jokes for work, you name it!

So whenever you want to take a short quick break from the VERY important stuff you are doing, funny work jokes it is! And if your boss ever asks what you are looking at on the screen, say, "Uhm, research?" Quips aside, whether at work during your lunch break or in the restroom while doing number two, reading jokes about work is one way to make that 9-5 grind flow a little faster and slightly more bearable. And suppose you think that there is no space or time for jokes in the workplace. In that case, I assume you are the boss the employees don't particularly like, to put it in the nicest way possible.

Below, we have gathered an extensive list of the best work jokes we could find from the cornucopia that is the internet. Also, if you want something to take your mind off work, we have more funny jokes up our sleeves! Check out these witty two-liners here.
