good one

Approval for cleverness

A good one is a clever joke, witty remark, or amusing observation: Tell me another good one.

The phrase often appears sarcastically when someone makes an implausible claim or excuse: You forgot your homework again? Yeah, good one.

It can also acknowledge a successful prank or verbal jab that lands well.
