This Facebook Group Is All About “Science Humor”, Here Are 50 Of Their Most Hilarious Posts (New Pics)
Remember how your high school science teacher would say that science can be fun? That meant either lab work or a group assignment, which for many kids was just as far from the definition of fun as preparing for a science class test.
Fast forward to today, and things have changed. Many young adults appreciate the things they never did, find new hobbies and passions, develop a sense of nostalgia, and realize they were always a nerd to begin with…
So in order to show you exactly how nerdy we all are deep down, we present you the “Science Humor” Facebook group devoted to posting the best science-related laughs, cartoons, puns, jokes, japes, antics, and you name it!
With a whopping 1.2M members, the group is basically a powerhouse blending education, knowledge and internet comedy. Below we wrapped up some of the funniest and most recent posts from the page to treat your inner nerd, so scroll down!
After you’re done, be sure to check out our previous feature with more jokes from Science Humor right here.

You may wonder why some people find science jokes and memes funny while others couldn’t care less about them. Well, it all comes down to a broader question of why and how people find particular things funny. Previously, Bored Panda spoke with a British neuroscientist and Wellcome Trust Senior Fellow at University College London, Sophie Scott. Scott has been investigating the cognitive neuroscience of voices, speech and laughter, particularly speech perception, speech production, vocal emotions, and human communication. So she shed light on this amusing topic!
I've said it myself at least once, and I definitely agree I should say it more often.

I've heard people talk about the Depp Vs Heard trial. I could join in, but I didn't watch the Court case, and I've seen only snippets from the media. So I have no authority to say to what extent either party is guilty.
I don't know about that, seems wrong... but as someone who isn't a subject matter expert on how to express myself in a way human people enjoy..... I guess I don't know enough about it to have an opinion.
I need this on a tee-shirt. So i can wear it to work. To show my favourite mansplainer 🤯🤪😡
I use this a lot when I don’t want to argue with an argumentative person. And it shuts them down pretty quickly
Well, I happen to be an expert in this particular area. So even though most times, Yes, I could claim that, just not this time..
I said that the other day to a friend. The look I got was hilarious. Yep, it's ok to admit you don't know enough about something.
I usually say that I only know enough to get myself in trouble, not enough to get out of trouble. (applies best in reference to other languages)
The problem with saying this is you're inviting whoever you're having this conversation with to "educate" you then. This is okay if it's a subject you have an interest in learning; but usually it's a subject you could care less about. But now you're trapped.
I often want to say this in the YouGov surveys I get. Don't know is the closest option I get
Oh, I got an opinion. Ain't saying it's factual, but I got one. Presently reading one of my Feynman books right now. Brilliant man.
Fun fact: I have not thought about this either until the moment my "opinions" started to matter and influence serious subjects. Somehow they did not teach me to speak up if I need more "anything" to say anything... and I can say now from experience that this is a hard skill to learn and a very serious advantage to have.
If only people voted with this concept in mind (US). I wish people would graciously opt out of voting on topics that they don't understand or that don't concern them. I just feel like so many people vote the way they're told to vote (family, politicians, social media, church, etc.) instead of either taking the time to really familiarize themselves with all sides and then forming their own opinion or leaving the decision to the people it primarily concerns.
Yes. Then I will look it up. Still might mean I cannot comment. Some subjects I just do not get
I tried this once but then they yelled at me for not caring enough to stay informed !
I read his books I do not believe that Richard Feynman would have used those words. There is no way there was a subject he thought he didn't know about. (I am aware he is dead and the account is not quoting him)
I use it when my friend starts talking about an anime I haven't seen
I say it all the time to get out of awkward conversations. Sometimes I actually mean it.
and if it's true, then it is the most intelligent comment you can make.
Turns out, the first requirement for something to be received as funny is that people need to understand that joke, pun, saying, or meme. But how do we do that? Well, Scott argues that it comes down to the intended meaning that makes a particular thing funny.
“One simple thing about not getting a joke is not realizing that it's a joke at all, assuming that someone is being serious and saying something stupid,” the professor explained.
Moreover, it’s not as easy as it looks. Hence, so many badly received jokes that land the joker eyerolls, or cringe at most. “It often has to do with as much the person telling the joke or where the joke is coming from, as the content of a joke,” Scott explained, adding that in order for the joke to be received as such, the audience needs to be aware of the fact that it is a joke.
What makes things funny shouldn’t be rocket science but there are multiple complex theories about it. One of them is “the idea that sometimes you laugh because it makes you feel better about yourself, you feel superior to tell the joke.”
Another theory argues that “you laugh because there’s some sort of complexity set up and then it’s resolved and that’s part of getting the joke.”
Scott also argues that the reason we laugh often has to do with “some kind of taboo” which is perceived as acceptable when mentioned in the joke context. On other occasions, “we laugh because laughter is a behavior associated in humans and other mammals with play,” Scott explained.
At the same time, the most important role for saying (writing) and receiving jokes is a pretty straightforward one–“just to be playful and you’re kind of acknowledging that and what has been done for you in the name of the play.”
It’s important to note that according to Scott, jokes have less to do with our absolute personalities (so don’t jump to conclusions about a person if they find or don’t find your joke funny!) and more with who we are and our life experiences. Scott argues that the things we find funny may also be directly influenced by the relationship with the person who’s telling the joke.
How she still got a hand? Mine would have fallen off about halfway through!
12? Half the time my 4-5 person teams for group projects in school can't all do what they're supposed to on time.
If you make your point with an axe, it's hard to question your views

I'll be sending my opticians bill straight to Bored Panda for the very bad screen shot and pastes on this thread ... ouch
I'd love to know why the tracks of a sliding shower door ONLY catch your little toe. Mine is a wonderful shade of black and blue. Again. And that whole thing is getting torn out today and replaced with a shower curtain today
Most I have ever laughed out loud scrolling through Panda posts! I don't care if they're repeats when they're funny and smart.
This is by far the funniest selection I have ever read on BP. Thank you!
