Knock knock: Keep it safe for work with these clean-as-a-whistle jokes
As cited by every normie dating profile across the internet, humans “love to laugh”. During the sh*tstorm of 2020, (and, many would argue, the years leading up to it), a good laugh has never been more valuable. However, humor is, of course, subjective and more often than not we’ll be laughing in a room full of confused head-scratchers, or dead silent at a dinner table full of cackling hyenas.
Of course, we’re referring to a time in the old world where people were more frequently forced into rooms with others of different value sets & senses of humor – the water cooler has always been a dangerous venue to try out a new joke.
However, despite the great distance much of the world has felt between others over the past year or so, causing many of us to be downright rusty at social interaction, good jokes will always stand the test of time. If you’re like so many across the globe whose joke-telling stats have dropped significantly since March 2020, we’ve got some help for you: clean jokes anyone can enjoy.
Edge lords needn’t look on from here – we’ve compiled some of the best clean jokes on the web which can yield a chuckle across the board of audiences, from the raunchiest shock jocks to the most timid prudes. Check out some of the best SFW jokes we could find on the web.

Clean jokes have no better place than in the confines of the office; at work, we’re forced to be in close quarters with people of all walks of life, and all types of senses of humor.
It’s best to play it safe in the workplace with jokes; what’s funny to you might earn you a visit from HR if you tell the wrong person. Small Business Trends lists some of the best jokes to tell around the water cooler (or digital chat board) which can give anyone a SFW chuckle.
