You didn’t open this article to have fun, there’s nothing entertaining in it, and no reverse psychology jokes are served here. See what we did? Pulled the old trick on ya! And if our little gimmick worked just as it should, you are probably now more than ready to read some of the best psychology jokes and laugh at them heartily while you are at it, too. So, yeah, this is our selection of reverse psychology jokes, which we hope you won’t enjoy too much.

So, psychological jokes, naturally, take all kinds of shapes and forms, carrying all kinds of different messages. Some are there to mess with your mind a bit (in a good way, of course), and some are here to dish out all on reverse psychology. Just like these funny psychology jokes - telling you things you aren’t supposed to do, but because you are told not to enjoy them, you’ll probably will anyway. And might do so even harder since you’ve been told not to.

Now, expect the unexpected from these jokes about psychology - they might be reversed, or they might not be at all. It’s all muddled up in here, with reversing the reversed and straightening out the straight. Anyway, check out these funny jokes, vote for the best ones, and share this article with your friends!

    Well, I found out that one therapist isn't really a good one... Firstly, he made me cry, because I said I'll cry way too easily and asked him to not make me cry. Big Meanie! Then he wanted me to visualize my anxiety and he never was satisfied with my visualization, so I told him the tale of "Wizard of Oz" and he didn't realize. I cancelled all following appointments! No idea if this is an appropriate comment but wanted to share! Pleeeeez don't downvote 😓
