Waiter jokes are a staple of the comedy world. We’re not exactly sure who started it all, we just know they’re funny, and some of them portray how service industry employees would love to use sarcasm to answer the dumb questions customers throw at them after a long, hard day at work.
More often than not, servers have to deal with demanding customers who don’t realize how hard it is to be in their shoes and put up with a lot of nonsense while trying to make sure everyone has what they need and want at any given time. That’s where these waiter jokes come in handy! They’re a great way to take a break from the stresses of your day and laugh at some situations that you can relate to.
Other than the usual “fly in my soup” jokes, this list contains some classic gags and new ones you may have never heard before. Get a snack, sit on your couch, and relax with this collection of hilarious waiter jokes!
