snot jokes

Gross-out nasal humor

Snot jokes are humor centered on nasal mucus—the gross-out comedy of boogers, sneezing, and runny noses.

The genre thrives among children, who find bodily functions reliably hilarious: My seven-year-old has been telling snot jokes all week.

Like fart jokes, they trade on the transgressive pleasure of discussing what polite company ignores.
