cancer jokes
Malignancy-themed comedy bits
Cancer jokes are jokes about cancer—the disease, its treatments, or those who suffer from it.
The humor is inherently dark, drawing from tragedy and mortality.
Such jokes may serve as coping mechanisms for patients and survivors, or as deliberately transgressive comedy testing the boundaries of acceptable humor: My oncologist has a great bedside manner, but his cancer jokes need work.
