A long and winding road (The Beatles, anyone? No? Oh, well), new and exciting places, shoddy roadstop food, your Honda Odyssey coughing out its last will to go, dubious leg space, and the sun glaring straight into your eyes no matter the direction of your motion - what could be more exciting than a road trip! No, yeah, of course, it is fun and thrilling, but at times the road seems almost never-ending, and time passes as slow as molasses, but there’s an age-old trick to make any trip better, and it is by sharing some silly jokes with your compadres. Or with yourself, if you’re driving alone. An even better cure would be to giggle at theme-appropriate quips, and this is our cue to deliver the best and the funniest road trip jokes that we could find.  

What should you expect from these road jokes, you ask? For starters, some very cute puns that’ll revive your numb behind from sitting for the last six hours or so. Then, there are certainly some very lame jokes about the food you’re about to imbibe on your next stop. Something as familiar as re-refried fried beans served with second-hand disposable utensils, but very satisfying nonetheless. And surely, some travel jokes about funny mishaps on the road, suspicious hitchhikers, and cars dying down in the middle of nowhere. So, no matter what situation you are in at the given time, you will definitely find a relatable joke to elevate you out of your misery. 

Although it might seem to you that you have all the time in the world on your journey to read this intro, why not entertain yourself that much more by skipping to the funny road trip jokes themselves? As per usual, you’ll find our selection of the very best jokes just a bit further down. And even though it might be hard to press that upvote button while driving on an uneven road, we know you can do it for the sake of giving your vote for the cheesy jokes of your liking!

A vacation with kids probably isn't. After 3-4 vacations with the kids, I finally realized that going back home is the vacation. I clean and do more dishes, organize nearly non-stop, fend off migraines the kids have given me. Vacations are SO MUCH more exhausting...(clicking my heels together--"there's no place like home, there's no place like home".)

My friend and I were coming back to my place after a short trip up north for the day. He touched my leg to try to scare me or something. I saw it coming so I knew what he was going to do before it happened, and at the same time we were about to pass a farmer with a few bails of hay in the box of his truck, so just after he touched me I was like "hey!" and then I pointed out the window a few seconds later. He was stunned that I scared him first and then a few seconds later he made the connection. He face-palmed for like 10 minutes while I cracked up the rest of the drive to my place.
