road trip humor

Car journey jokes

Road trip humor is the particular brand of comedy that emerges during long car journeys—often lowbrow, repetitive, and fueled by boredom and confinement.

It includes inside jokes about roadside attractions, mocking fellow passengers' music choices, and finding hilarity in things that wouldn't be funny under normal circumstances: By hour six, "moo" at every cow had become peak road trip humor.

The shared captivity and mounting fatigue lower the bar for what counts as amusing.
