Every Thanksgiving celebration has two sides. One is all about the actual thanks giving, feeling grateful, and sharing these thoughts and the special atmosphere with your family and friends. The other side of the festivity is… Well, it’s your Uncle Jerome with his hairy nostrils, your Aunt Denise with marital advice, and the horde of fussy kids who think that a Thanksgiving meal is just horrible. Peas, peas everywhere! Oh, and don’t forget the fact of inevitable indigestion after you’ve gorged yourself on the turkey (and will continue to do so for a week after). Yet, however slightly unpleasant this side of Thanksgiving might be, as with everything slightly uncomfortable, it is an excellent ground for some good old funny jokes. And you wouldn’t believe just how accurate and relatable some of these Thanksgiving jokes are! That is, until you read them for yourself.

So, yeah, you definitely know what these cool jokes are going to be about. They’re about the aforementioned aunts and uncles, the large alien-looking bird that has settled on your plate now, and all the turmoil that is a regular family gathering. Even if you do all get along, hosting a dinner for, say, ten or twenty people who haven’t seen each other for a good chunk of the year is a happening that will most likely present a funny situation or two, which is then turned into a funny Thanksgiving joke to be shared with future generations. Yet, despite all the hassle and an occasional grumble, Thanksgiving is still one of our most beloved festivities of the year, with an atmosphere of togetherness unmatched by any other.

Anyway, let’s go to the jokes for Thanksgiving, shall we? You guessed it, they are just a bit further down, and you should definitely check them out. Be sure to rank the best Thanksgiving jokes by giving them your vote and share this article with the dinner attendees so you’ll have something to talk about if all else fails!
