Do you know what a family gathering, a friendly barbeque, and a team meeting on Zoom have in common? There's always, always that certain someone who pulls out a joke. That overused, exhausted piece of humor they've shared so often, it's practically turned into an encore performance at every gathering. An awkward silence follows, save for a few polite chuckles by people who are just too nice to roll their eyes.

That is the power — or better, the affliction — of repetitive jokes. Keep in mind, we're all for a well-timed, perfectly executed joke to lighten the mood, break the ice, or save the day. But there's a fine line between a signature quip and that worn-out gag that's been overplayed more times than "Sweet Caroline" at a Red Sox game. Humor is the spice of life, yeah, but when it's repeatedly sprinkled over and over, the flavor becomes unbearable.

Let's share some examples of repetitive jokes just to make sure you know what we're talking about. You know when you get to the office, maybe 30 seconds late for your shift, and your boss jovially exclaims: "Look who decided to show up to work today!" Or when someone asks, "What's the weather like up there?" to your tall friend who is this close to losing it. Yeah, you got it. The worst part is that these are just two examples. What if we told you we've got a whole list of overused jokes?

Combed from the far corners of the web, more specifically from Reddit, we've collected an array of repetitive puns and jokes that have overstayed their welcome. Our virtual hat tip goes to the brave Redditors who stepped forth to share these annoying jokes, sacrificing their eyeballs (and their sanity) for the greater good of humor-kind.

    I get the whole creepy guys telling girls to smile thing isn't ok, but as someone who spent a long time in customer service, smiling (even if you have to fake it) is part of the job. If you can't smile and engage customers (with the obvious exception of dealing with a******s), maybe you're in the wrong industry.

    "The non-ironic use of 'That's what she said.' I had a fratty coworker a few years back who would just bust it out no matter the situation. 'I've got tape stuck to my desk."That's what she said!' 'I've got a lot of work to do.That's what she said!' 'I'm headed out for lunch. That's what she said!' And people found it hilarious. It's not like this dude was some four-dimensional absurdist jokester. He just seemed to think he'd coined the phrase, and everyone else in my office seemed to be reenacting The Office to the best of their ability. A 'joke' was simply a semi-well-timed movie or TV quote. Nothing original. People who made their own jokes on the spot were regarded as weirdos."

    It's quite funny as when I was a kid most of us couldn't afford a simple watch off the market for a fiver. Now everyone has a phone and some school kids have phones worth hundreds of quid!! Seven to eight times more than I've ever paid. Insane. Yet somehow despite phones, computers, pads, laptops, posh phone wrist devices also for hundreds of quid, people don't know the time? There's actuall clocks everywhere too!! Weird world 😕

    That depends very much where you live. I have never been asked for ID to buy alcohol, even when I was in my teens. Even now you are only asked for ID if you look under 25 (legal age for purchasing alcohol is 18). I would be flattered if anyone asked me for ID now, as all I'd need to do is let them see the sun glinting off my sunroof.
