Ever since I was little, I’ve always loved bad jokes, like the really terrible ones. So I always told my best (worst) jokes to anyone I met.

Honestly, I hate it when people laugh at my jokes, I prefer that sigh or groan or look of “are you serious right now?”.

In the middle of the lockdown in 2020, with very few people around I could torment with my jokes, I got the idea to open an Instagram page to share my jokes.

Thus @standup.trex on IG was born. The idea is simple, Cooper the dinosaur struggles to make his audience laugh with his bad jokes.

Creating this page has helped me realize that I’m not the only one in love with bad jokes. The page grew rapidly and now has 465 thousand followers. I also created a YouTube page called standup.trex this year so I can share my jokes with even more people.

I, however, do not make up all the jokes I tell myself. Some are told to me by friends, coworkers, and family and some are submitted by my followers on Instagram.

If chickens are descended from Dino’s, aren’t Dino nuggets made from Dino’s?

So when I decided to create an Instagram page, I talked to my brother, who is a graphics designer, about it. Initially, I just wanted it to be a text-only page, where I just write the jokes and post them. My brother suggested I have a character say the jokes and he designed that template for me. The Dino is named after me!

    I post all kinds of jokes, but I really prefer puns and double entendres. I try to select jokes which are easy to understand, have no very big words, not very geographically specific (e.g. if the pun is about a dish only eaten in Singapore, people reading it from Brazil might not get the joke). Also, I try to vary the jokes as much as possible, some people like the really simple, straightforward “dumb” jokes, while some like the more clever ones.

    My all-time favorite joke would be “If you're ever skydiving and your parachute fails to open, don't panic…you still have the rest of your life to try and fix it.” Not exactly a pun, but I noticed that when I posted that joke, my audience especially loved it. In fact, the post went viral, getting about 60k likes. I think my audience like dark jokes!

    Well if you're going to start ripping off Les Dawson, I think you need a new joke book.

    I just try to keep it simple, I don’t really consider myself an “influencer.” I’m still that guy who just wants to share his bad jokes with the world. So I just continue sharing the jokes as if I had only 10 followers.

    I’m so happy when my followers message me telling me how they told the joke they saw on my page at a family dinner or at work and everyone groaned.

    Just wanna share a story- groom saw one of the bridesmaids and grabbed her and they made out while the bride was walking down the aisle, bride to get back at groom grabbed the best man and they married instead. Out of the blue, just like that. Best man didn’t complain but was cinfused. Groom got angry and stormed off, he was planning for the bride to plead for him back.

    I got in trouble by another kid my age when I wanted to name an octopus “pussy.” He was very “you don’t know?” Seeming as he said “that’s a bad word.” I was like, “it is? Are you sure?” And he was like, “uh, yeah I’m sure -_- let’s name the octopus something else- *continues to ask other classmates and ignored me.” I did not like him, but he was my friend’s crush TvT IS IT MY FAULT I DONT KNOW CURSE WORDS? ISNT THAT A GOOD THING EH??

    Just like Cooper the dinosaur, some of the greatest humor emerges from the world of puns and jokes, particularly when they engage with everyday elements like food. If you've enjoyed the cringe and laughter from bad jokes, you will likely appreciate the artistic play of puns and laughs with edible characters as showcased by an artist whose work involves crafting humorous situations involving food.

    Dive deeper into this captivating world where food becomes the source of amusement through the creative lens of food-inspired comics.

    Because it is so dumb that it is great.

For some reason I laughed for 20 minutes or so and that is something what doesn't happen. Ever.
