20 Marketing Jokes for Marketers Working from Home

I’m not here to lie to you: Sheltering in place is getting pretty old.  I do count my blessings, of course. My family and I are healthy. My wife and I both can work from home; our kids are pretty great; we actually enjoy each others’ company.  Still. There are only so many loaves of bread you can bake, puzzles you can solve, board games you can play before the ennui sets in.  If you’re like me, you could use a laugh right now. And I need to exercise my comedy muscles before they atrophy. And in a world where people are still writing articles called, “Should You Include Humor in Your B2B Content,” we need constant reminders that people like jokes. People like to laugh. Laughter brings you closer to your audience and creates a connection. Not that any of these jokes will make you laugh, of course — but I’ve heard that a smile and a groan is almost as good for you.
