Yeah, we know a hospital isn't the most fun place to be in. The hallways are entrenched with that formaldehyde and cleaning product odor that's most likely to make you either sneeze or shiver from unpleasant memories. The silence here isn't as comfortable as that in a library but rather somewhat ominous and foreboding. And the nurses scuttling around in their soft-soled shoes, rushing to god knows where gives it a sense of dire urgency even though you might be there just for a measly blood test. And the doctors! Don't even get me started on them - they're the embodiment of an omnipresent power only carried by them and bad omens. However, there's one easy way to lighten up the atmosphere (yes, even at a hospital) and strip away the bad omens, I mean doctors, of their dark powers. I think you already know the answer, for it is, indeed, laughter. And what's a better combo than a good joke about the exact place you are in? Probably nothing, and if you're looking for comedic relief while waiting to drop off a stool sample, here's our list of the best hospital jokes ever!
Not only does the hospital entity get laughed at in these written skits, but there are plenty of doctor jokes, nurse jokes, and even patient jokes on our roster, too. And why not - laughing at a hospital in its entirety is excellent but quite unspecific, and we do aim at covering all the bases for possible laughs, as niche as they might be. So, are you ready to laugh your hospital gown off? Well then, scroll on down below and meet the contestants to become the best hospital joke ever. Who'll decide their fate? Well, you, of course, by giving these silly jokes your vote!
As a Canadian. Every time I hear a bad joke about being Canadian... I go right to the Hospital and get my feelings checked for free.
