No matter how serious a company might look to outsiders, on the inside, you’ll always find someone subtly goofing about and having a laugh. Humor is an inseparable part of being a human being. So it makes sense that our desire for comedy, quips, and good old sarcasm doesn’t go away the moment we clock in.
Bored Panda has collected some of the most powerful photos of humor and sarcasm in the workplace, from all around the internet. From witty notes and funny printouts to hilarious posters, these pics are perfect for sending to your coworkers—preferably during their coffee breaks or right before they have an important deadline. Scroll down for your dose of workplace sarcasm and inspiration.
We got in touch with workplace expert Lynn Taylor, who was kind enough to share her thoughts about the importance of laughter when it comes to motivating staff, as well as the limits that should be placed on humor at work. Read on to find Bored Panda's full interview with Taylor, the author of the bestseller ‘Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant' and the host of a popular blog on Psychology Today.

According to the expert, there are many upsides to bringing humor into the workplace, no matter what the person's position in the company. However, there are some limits that should be adhered to.
"Even in the job interview, hiring managers often want to be assured that the candidate can be relaxed enough to roll with the punches—and possesses some level of levity. It demonstrates that the applicant doesn’t take things too seriously, and can remain calm under pressure," workplace expert Taylor explained to Bored Panda via email.

Living in black bear country could be tense, especially when it was "cub season", but polar bears are a whole 'nother level of tense living.
"Once on the job, humor can accomplish a great deal:
- Humor breaks tension barriers, which can often arise in a workplace setting. It offers a more objective, healthy perspective on issues; that work is part of life—not a 'life sentence.'
- Levity makes the job more fun. People should look forward to their work life. By engaging in a little humor, employees can be themselves, as they create more business friendships.
- Humor helps increase productivity and employee engagement. When people get along and show their more human side, motivation and productivity increase. On the flip side, a rigid, serious work culture can make it difficult to produce optimal results.
- Humor has been proven to increase knowledge retention. Countless studies show that the brain is more receptive to information when humor is injected into the subject. As humans, we are drawn to laughter, and undoubtedly, this increases the level of interest and ability to learn, especially in a work environment."

Taylor, the author of ‘Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant,' explained that levity is an important factor in motivating employees. "It creates a friendlier environment where people want to produce their best work. When a manager uses humor, it is a reminder that 'we are all in this together,'" she said.
"Humor and humility are qualities highly sought after by employees in a manager. If your boss can laugh at themselves, it demonstrates to the team that no one is infallible. It counters the all-too-common expectation of an authoritarian management style."

Here Is A Sign I Saw At Work
Marcellus II 2 years ago
Somebody hasn't read "The day the crayons quit", I see. Here it's read: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=489micE6eHU
However, the expert shared that even though humor in the workplace can be a great motivator, it can, at times, be used inappropriately. So there have to be some common sense limits.
"For example, humor that’s used at the expense of others, is insensitive or offensive, will generally backfire," Taylor pointed out.
"Levity is a good thing as long as it is well-placed and well-meaning. You can be witty and not sarcastic. You can be funny and not hurtful. Humor used to bully or embarrass others will ultimately be a detriment to anyone’s career," she told Bored Panda.
"A good rule of thumb is to exercise caution if you feel your words may be taken wrong. Better not to experiment at the risk of offending others. Use humor with good intentions."

She was talking on her phone, and all of a sudden I heard this loud hissing noise and a heavy mist started falling on my head. Then I hear her saying, "This bathroom always stinks so bad!" She was spraying Lysol all over the place. I hurried out of my stall, and as I was leaving she was still spraying. It was pooling all over the walls and toilet seat of the stall next to her. I don't know how she could breathe with all that.

Humor benefits us so much, frankly, it’s ridiculous! For starters, there are numerous physical benefits to laughing often and hard. Verywell Mind notes that laughter stimulates your lungs, improves your heart health, and can ease your discomfort. Meanwhile, Deborah Serani, Psy.D., explains on Psychology Today that laughter can reduce even chronic pain.
Not only that, but laughter is great for distracting you from whatever problems might be looming over you at the moment. It’s hard to stress out about those five unfair work deadlines when you’re giggling at your office BFF’s quips.
Speaking of stress, laughter can reduce the levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This means that laughter helps strengthen your immune system. What’s more, good jokes can give you a fresh new perspective on things. Yes, things at the office might seem unbearably tough, but if you manage to find the silver lining and keep your optimism, then you’re miles ahead of your coworkers.

Holy forking c**p it didn't get censored. (Anyone else watching the Good Place?)
Laughter is also a wonderful way to bring people together. If your colleagues are super serious all the time and barely ever crack a smile, you might start wondering whether you’d be better off jumping ship or searching for greener pastures. People spend a huge part of their lives at work, so it only makes sense that they want it to be pleasurable.
Trading quips and making witty comments can help you forge strong friendships with your coworkers. On top of that, a bit of quality, well-timed humor can make you seem more human—that’s especially helpful for managers who may want to have more down-to-earth work relationships with their staff.
It helps a lot if your workers see you as someone who is empathetic and approachable, not someone who’s a soulless, faceless corporate drone who only cares about profit. At the same time, you don't want to create the impression that you don't take anything seriously, either. It's a fine balance.

Way back when I worked in an office, hot sauce wasn't as in vogue as it is now. I would purposely cook dishes with hot sauce and, amazingly, it kept co-workers from stealing my meals. During the trial and error phase, I even had the pleasure of hearing a few yelps from the thieves.
Of course, there are obviously limits to humor. While comedy is important—and we’ll be the first to defend this—the workplace can’t revolve just around giggles and sarcasm. Work really does need to come first. To oversimplify a tad, the better your results, the more flexibility you have in how much you can clown around.
If you manage to get things done well and efficiently and you’re generally well-liked, then you can get away with joking around more often. On the flip side, if all you do is fire off joke after joke without getting anything done, then your colleagues will have far less patience with you. Ideally, you want to seem optimistic and good-natured without disrupting everyone around you.

Not a food cut accident but still a worker related incident. Maybe 2 or 3 years ago had a coworker cut his arm pretty bad. One of the containers where I work need a little dap of glue to holds the metal ring that holds the cap in place.. The bottle of glue he was using was nearly empty, Instead of asking for a new bottle of glue, he decided to try to cut open the bottom of the bottle with a jack knife. The knife slipped and he end up cutting his arm real bad. Had to be taken to a clinic or doctors office to get stiches. The cut was properly at least 12 inches long or maybe longer.

Must be avocado hand - I work in medical translation and I've definitely heard of it. It's when someone uses the blade to tap the avocado stone to remove it from the halved avocado.

I don't get American's hatred of fish at the office. It's a food just like anything else. Might as well tell people not to heat curry or anything with onions or garlic. Kitchens smell like food, just accept it.
There are also common sense limits on the types of jokes you should be telling at work (or, well, anywhere else). Of course, this will depend a lot on your company’s culture and how close you are to your coworkers. For instance, you shouldn’t be bombarding someone you’ve never met before with endless witty insights. Build the relationship up a bit first before flexing your humorous side.
Similarly, you really do not want to alienate the office because you’re trying to ‘impress’ everyone with your spicy comments. That means that you should definitely avoid humor that might be offensive or discriminate against others. Raunchy jokes are also off the table in the workplace, as are quips that are deeply mean-spirited or could be interpreted as bullying.

funny enough I Love playing with bees~ (well honey and bumble bees) you just get a lil cap of soda or sugar water and they go to it, after a few times they come back and will land on you, just dont be scared, if your calm, as in, slow breathing, no rapid heartbeat, you can put a finger by them and they will just climb up on you, they feel so so soft, and there lil pitter pater of feet is just so fun, As long as you are calm they don't really care what you do, you can even just toss them in the air and they will fly away! I went to a party a few days ago(aunt bday) and while everyone was inside i was out playing with the bees and taking videos, my brother (highly allergic to them) came out and as one landed on his back i had him freeze and gently pulled it from him/let it get on me, and told him go on in, I just love bees~

My sister took a drink from an open can at a picnic and a bee entered her mouth.😨 Thankfully, she didn't get stung.

We had a similar thing at my workplace only it was Don, and poor new guy missed his lunch because who knew there were three Dons working there

If Dave is stealing drinks, you need to spike one of the drinks with like a very hot sauce or salt and or pepper and watch Dave's reaction.

My Boss Gave My Coworker A New Monitor. He Didn't Get Caught Doing Anything, He's Just Blind As Hell

Great that they’ve made reasonable adjustments for him, but he has no chance of sneakily reading BP in work!

Sure he can, just not fullscreen, unless he wants to share with everyone.

Very clever and authentic-looking design. This would have 99% of the people I work with madly putting in helpdesk tickets to IT because the printer wouldn't respond to them.

If I have any regrets for my time as an office volunteer, it's not leaving a sign like this on computer components. I would've at least got a laugh in before being asked for help.

I think it is a table for babies. The yellow thingies are seats for babies. I could be wrong though.

If they didn't respect the candy's boundaries I'd be happy to put the basket on my desk, it wouldn't need to be there for long. ;-)

Be careful. The mgmt might take the candy away. Be appreciative of what you have.

Please Do Not Print Large Jobs. Or, By All Means, Please Do
Paul C. 2 years ago
When my nephew was about 6 he printed a page entirely black, just to see what it looked like. It got gradually lighter as the ink ran out, unlike my Brother in Laws face that got brighter red as he had to fork out for a new cartridge. Side note, boy is extremely bright, common sense? Not so much.

if you time it right, you can ask for a towel and reach underneath (to activate the sensor) and it'll look like it did respond to your voice...

I Asked My Manager What Skills I Could Work On, And She Handed Me This
MellonCollie 2 years ago
I don't know how to interpret this. Is it passive-aggressive a-holery?
Kat Hoth 2 years ago
I don't think there was anything passive about it. Sounds like the manager is a first class a-hole.

I always try to do that as well. No need to downvote inoffensive and innocuous opinions.. maybe they are running an experiment to prove one downvote on anything starts a trend?

We kidnapped our assistant director's gnome figurine a few years ago. Passed it along from dept to dept and took pictures. Hostage negotiations ensued. A ransom was paid in the form of donuts. I've never seen the AD laugh so hard.
