booger jokes

Mucus-based comedy bits

Booger jokes are humor built around nasal mucus—the kind of comedy that delights children and makes adults groan.

The genre thrives on grossness and taboo, featuring picking, flicking, eating, and hiding boogers: My five-year-old has entered his booger joke phase.

Like fart jokes, they represent the lowest common denominator of humor, which is precisely their appeal.
