If age is just a number, then a prison cell is just a room. When they say that hangovers get worse after your mid-twenties, they're not lying. Because, heck, they do, and a few bevvies can take a day to recover and two pills of Ibuprofen to get that clapping monkey with cymbals out of one's head.

Do you know what is even less fun? Turning 30. By 30, you're expected to have a house, two children and to have seen the Taj Mahal. Oh, and about 50 grand in your savings account. I know you've come here to read jokes about turning 30, but turning 30 is a joke in itself.

Okay, okay, it's not THAT bad. Well, perhaps your knees and back don't feel like they were when you were 18, but yakno, it's bearable. So whether you're looking for turning 30 jokes, funny birthday puns for a friend who's turning 30 soon, or just want to laugh at yourself, you've come to the right place.

Below, we've compiled a lengthy list of 30th birthday jokes, jokes about getting old(er), and just witty adult jokes. Take a look at the funny jokes we have gathered, and let us know if any made you crack a smile! And show off those pearly whites more often while you still have them *winking face*.

P.S. if you're looking for funny birthday wishes, we got you covered!

When I was younger I always hang out with the older crowd. Now that I'm a little older I find that I hang with the younger crowd.

    I'm from Spain, 8.30 is full afternoon for us. we eat dinner at around 9.30/10pm and movies don't start until 10.30.. I often go to the UK and seeing them having dinner at 6, while I eat my mid afternoon snack, and changing into their pj's at 7 is always a shock to me. 11 years going at least twice a year, and I still can't get used to that. (don't get me wrong I absolutely love Britain and the brits, but our clocks will never be read the same 😅)

    I'm 33 and no one believes me when I say my age.. people seem to think I'm between 17 and 20, and my 13 yo daughter is my sister.. their jaws literally drop when I pull my ID card out, and we find it really funny (and I take it as a compliment too of course) 😂

    No. Dogs age differently. For example, if a person was 4, a Dachshund would only be 32. They can live to be 16. That means age 80 in dog years. So, a human aged 30 can still be young in dog years. If you calculate considering a very large breed then this statement would be accurate.
