You know how you used to always wish never to leave home and work from the comfort of your couch forever? Well, now that it has happened, it suddenly isn’t all so glorious, am I right? Sure, you might have more time to iron your freshly-washed socks, but with each stroke of the iron, you can almost feel your brain depleting of its sharpness due to a lack of external stimuli. But, on the other hand, you also have so much more time to read articles listing various adorable puns and sarcastic jokes instead of working, and that is what probably got you here. Hence, presenting - the most hilarious and relatable work from home jokes for your judgment, dear readers, considering you probably haven’t gone to the office for quite some time now.
And you know, there’s always humor in the mundane. For instance, when was the last time you had a one-person karaoke showdown while simultaneously entering some data into a dull Excel sheet? Well, if it were the office kind of work, then probably never, but since we’re here at home - why the hell not! Or, you know, how about the time when you were on a Zoom call, and your cat lept out in front of the camera and puked out a ginormous hairball? That would’ve never happened working from an office, and while at that time you were mortified, it is now definitely one of your favorite memories. Really, it’s the simple stuff that makes your work from home days oh so much fun. Same with these silly jokes - the more simple and relatable the premise, the more heartily you are bound to laugh.
Okay, so, since you’re probably already slacking from work, let’s just skip to the good part and save your time just a tiny bit. You know the rest - scroll down below to check out our list of the best jokes about working from home, vote for the ones that hit closest to home base, and share this article with your homies.
