good for a laugh
Worth a chuckle
Good for a laugh describes something or someone reliably entertaining or amusing, though often not in a sophisticated way.
A friend who's good for a laugh can always lighten the mood.
The phrase sometimes carries a dismissive edge—entertaining but not to be taken seriously: The movie's not great art, but it's good for a laugh.
