While it's not necessarily nice to make jokes about mother in law, it can be a total knee-slapper and gain you bro points when executed in the right place at the right time. Whether it's the right time and place to crack a mother in law joke at your wedding in the groom's speech is very much questionable, so weigh the consequences yourself. P.S. Do not recommend it.
However, there's a reason why mother in law jokes are a thing, and, to add, there're so many of them. It’s no secret that many wedded couples have rather complicated relationships with the parents of their significant other. As the old slogan says, you either love them or hate them. Or you grow to love them. Or you don't and just grow to tolerate them.
Either way, love them or hate them, your special someone's family also becomes your family. You might dislike your mother in law but respect her nonetheless. Oh, the things we do for our significant others... So if you feel like your spouse or MIL would disapprove of funny mother in law jokes, keep those funny family jokes to yourself and have a giggle in private. Or with chums who can relate.
Below, we've assembled a list of the funniest mother-in-law jokes that will surely crack you up or might bring the house down. Literally. Look at some extended family jokes and let us know which you liked the most! And to see even more witticism and jokes about family, check out our assembly of parental humor memes!
