People Are Sharing Their “$1,000” Go-To Jokes

Here’s an easy way to make $1,000: make someone laugh. That’s a recent scenario posed to the r/AskReddit subreddit.

“A mysterious man approaches you, offering $1000 if you can make him laugh. What’s your joke?”

Everyone has their own joke repertoire, but does everyone have one joke that is strong and universal enough to make a random stranger laugh? Now, that’s a tough one.

Thousands of Redditors chimed in, with the post receiving 2.3K comments. The question is — are their jokes good enough for this “mysterious man?”

We’ll let you decide.

Here are 20 of the top laugh-out-loud jokes.

2. Three nuns at heaven’s gates

3 nuns die and are met by an angel at the gates of heaven. The angel, standing behind a big bowl of holy water, tells them “if you have sinned, confess.”

The first nun says “I touched a penis with my right hand.”

The angel answers “Dip your hand in the water, and go on in.”

The nun does as told and passes through the gates to her afterlife.

As the second nun opens her mouth to speak, the third nun interferes:

“Can i just gargle some water before this bitch dips her ass in?”

7. Pass the dam fish

A pastor coming home from church hears a boy shouting, “Dam fish for sale, dam fish for sale!”

The pastor approaches him and asks, “Why are they called damn fish?”

The boy replies, “Because I caught them at the dam!”

The pastor is amused and buys three to take home for his family. He gets home and tells his wife, “Honey, cook the dam fish!”

She gasps and asks, “Why are they called damn fish?” The pastor explains he bought them from a boy who caught them at a dam. She laughs and proceeds to cook them for dinner.

As they are eating the pastor says, “Son, pass the dam fish.”

The son says, “That’s the spirit dad! Pass the f**king potatoes!”

8. A quiet Italian

Three western spies were captured and put in a cell in the Soviet Union: An English spy, a French spy and an Italian spy. First they interrogate the English spy, but he refused to speak. So they tie him up and torture him for two hours until he finally gives in and tells them everything he knew. Next, they interrogate the French spy who also wouldn’t speak, but after 4 hours of torture he also couldn’t take anymore and told them everything he knew. Finally, they interrogate the Italian, who also wouldn’t speak, so they begin to torture him. After four hours he still hasn’t spoken, so they continue torturing him for hours. After enduring a full 24 hours of torture, they give up and put him back in the cell. The other two spies are amazed and ask the Italian how managed to go on for so long without speaking. The Italian replies “I would have told them everything after just one hour, but I couldn’t speak because my hands were tied up.
