People Cannot Stop Posting Corona Jokes And Here Are 35 Of The Best Ones This Week (New Pics)
Everyone is involved in a viral experiment these days. The goal is to find out whether laughter is the best medicine for the coronapocalypse, or whether a meme a day can keep the quarantine blues away. And people do what it says.
But there are no rules when it comes to modern internet humor, except that it has to make you cringe, lol, or die laughing. In fact, the crying laughing emoji has reportedly been the most used one on social media in the past few months. A coincidence? Doubt it.
From absurdist millennial puns-intended to apocalyptic parody memes, Bored Panda has collected the best weekly corona jokes. And for those who just jumped onto the bandwagon, check out our previous compilations: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, and part 7.

As we’re well into the crisis now, the jokes and memes are getting more twisted. Dark coronavirus humor is often funnier and somehow resonates better with people.
Interestingly, a taste for black humor could be an indicator of greater intelligence levels, according to this study published in Cognitive Processing. The psychologist Ulrike Willinger led an experiment which showed that participants who appreciated darker jokes expressed less aggression than those with a conventional sense of humor. Plus, the former group was found to have higher levels in verbal and nonverbal intelligence.
So true. Even though where I live we have had zero cases for the past 2 days, I will still be waiting at LEAST 2-4 weeks before I send my kids back to school.
Meanwhile, comedian Ken Cheng believes that joking about any risqué topic within comedy elicits the same answer. “Which is, that it depends,” Ken wrote in an opinion piece for Metro. But he doesn’t see anything wrong with talking about the current crisis in a humorous way. “Of course there will be some camps who think no serious topic should be made fun of, that even mentioning coronavirus in a humorous context is making light of a tragic situation,” but he added, “I don’t subscribe to this.” If humor is used skillfully, it can bring shelter to whatever the situation would be while still understanding its severity.
I just choked on this one, and I wasn't even drinking or eating. Hilarious
Thanks to the drop in air pollution Mordor is once again visible from the shire
What's wrong with people and their urgent need to go to the hairdresser? It's just effin' hair!!!! Who are you gonna show your new hairstyle? Or you wanna look good in like coffin???
Shown the disparity in socioeconomic status. Shown how callous some people are when they and the people they know aren’t affected. Sorry wait, how many affordable apartments have balconies?
In some countries, many/most! So yes those have a better GINI index coincidentally.

I keep thinking how I would have survived quarantine if I still lived in my old studio apartment in Brooklyn. Or that basement apartment I rented right after I graduated - it was my first place without roommates and I was so happy! It was wide enough to hold a queen size bed and a night stand next to it, and about three of those widths long. A sink and a stove were at the opposite side of the bed and there was one window and a stand-in shower... I bet someone is spending their quarantine in that place and I feel them!
The people that really don't want the stay at home orders to end are agoraphobics.Theyre afraid to leave their homes.Now, the shut ins are another story.They wish they COULD leave home.This situation is what its like for them all their lives.How about people that are paralyzed, .and they wish they could get out of bed much less leave home at all.Now, how bad do you wanna stay home, and how bad do you wanna leave the house?
I gave my grandmother a look as she was drinking. She told me she heard that it’s good for her. I replied, “it’s wine and only a glass every now and then.” To which she replied, “i’m old and I’ll drink whatever I want.” She was hitting the whiskey and scotch. The woman is approaching 90 and was pregnant 13 times, I’m not going to argue with her. Drink away.

Thank you for the great post! It's good to see that people are still able to keep an open mind and laugh in difficult times, and such articles help to lift the spirits :) Some of these were really funny, lmao at #10, 17, 20... and some of them were painfully accurate.... especially #7
Just wait, it'll come back. Having lived with mild but recurrent chronic depression my whole life, I am happy to report that there comes a moment where your mind just freakin' breaks and everything that made you sad before becomes so awful that it's hilarious. Stay strong. Nothing lasts forever.

i don't think the anger was directed towards rich people. it is definitely towards selfish individuals and/or people who deliberately choose to listen to bad advice. they are also the ones who are probably threatening public health advisors.

I'm monitoring the numbers every day, thanks for the concern. I had activated the daily notifications about coronavirus on Line messenger, it really helps seeing the progress of the situation. The report of today (22nd April) for S. Korea (which is where I've been living all these years) is the following. Total cases: 10,694 (↑11) / Total tests: 577,959 (↑6,945) / Cured cases: 8,277 (↑64) / Total deaths: 238 (↑1) As we can see, the situation is getting better, thanks to the precautions taken, however, people are still dying daily, and there's still cca. a couple of thousand people trying to get healthy. Now, these are reported numbers. We know that, regardless of transparency and testing, there will always be unreported cases who didn't seek up to get tested. Korea is praised world wide for doing a good job in managing this crisis, but if it's serious here, you can only imagine how it is in countries where health care is not as available for whatever reasons. *NOTE* by the end of February and within the first half of March, the numbers were counting over 600 infected cases daily, then dropping to 400s and for a long time it was over 300s. Then for some time the numbers turned to cca. 100 daily, dropping to about 30s recently, and it's been less than a week that numbers are showing cca. 10 new cases per day.
