husband jokes
Spousal humor genre
Husband jokes are a genre of humor built around stereotypes of married men—their incompetence at household tasks, their fear of their wives, their cluelessness about emotions, their obsession with avoiding chores.
The format mirrors wife jokes but targets male foibles: My husband said he'd fix the sink six months ago. All it takes is patience and a new husband.
Common in stand-up routines and social media, they trade on the premise that husbands are lovable but hopeless.
