marriage jokes

Spouse-mocking comedy bits

Marriage jokes are humorous observations about the frustrations, compromises, and disappointments of married life.

The genre tends toward cynicism—nagging wives, clueless husbands, dead bedrooms, in-law troubles: My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.

The form is old enough to feel hacky, though individual jokes can still land.
