joke recycler

one who uses jokes multiple times, even to the same audience; while joke recycling is still eco-friendly, it shows a lack of creativity and sense of humor

"You know this is the only time in the game where you actually crash a castle?" "Leland, that was the third time you've said that joke, you're such a joke recycler."

non-joke

An anecdote that has the setup of a joke (background info, character introductions), but as it goes on, it is revealed to be an anecdote, usually ending in a serious or somber way; can be described as a form of dark humor in some cases.

A man has a dream where a gorilla steals his banana. He tells his wife about his strange dream. She ignores him completely and goes back to sleep. The man rolls over, and he cries as he realizes his marriage is in shambles. (This is an example of a non-joke)

joke mail

When somebody signs you up for free subscriptions or free merchandise of useless nature in order for you to be bothered by telemarketers and religious organizations. The instigator hopes that the person being "joked" will receive numerous garbage, telephone calls and whatever else the company sends such as videos and magazines.

I thought I had a parcel but it turned out to be joke mail that somebody signed me up for. Now they call me all the time.

Trombone jokes

A trombone joke is a joke that often involves the numbers 69 and 420. They usually include the majority of dead 2012 memes, and referring to someone's joke as a trombone joke is usually an insult. Of course, some people find this humor hilarious and will take it as a compliment.

Cashier: That will cost you four dollars and twenty cents
Customer: Blaze it
Cashier: Sir, we don't allow trombone jokes in our store. That is a violation of our rules.

Quantum Joke

A joke relating to Quantum Physics and the concept of a joke about Quantum Physics that repeats every cycle of the joke in a loop. The joke itself can be found inside the popular game, Undertale.

So I opened the Quantum Physics book and there, unbelievably, I found another book. This book, however, was a joke book about Quantum Jokes. After flipping that book open I swear to you, there was yet another Quantum Physics book. I don't even know how the books got in each other in the first place. That whole situation turned out to be a real mindfuck.

inside joke

A joke that only two or more people will understand. It's meant to stay within the group, hence the name "inside joke." Inside jokes are usually made out of random situations and come about on accident. Friends could have entire conversations about just one inside joke. These kinds of jokes are also so much fun to joke about! Inside jokes really bring you and your friends closer together and let you be more comfortable with them and other people

(the example below is actually based off of something that actually happened in Spanish class with me and my friend)

Spanish teacher: Alright class, turn to page 136 in your textbooks. These are verbs with irregular yo forms. Repeat after me. "Hago"
Class: "Hago"
Spanish teacher: "Salgo"
Class: "Slago"

Spanish teacher: "Traigo"

Class: "Traigo"
Spanish teacher: "Pongo"

Class: "Pongo"
Me: (Smiles and tries to hold back laughs as I look across the room at my friend who is also smiling)
Friend: (Mouths this) Pongo the penguin
Me: (Starts to giggle)

Person sitting next to me: What's so funny?
Me: It's an inside joke! Sorry lol
Person sitting next to me: Ok then...
