Three Classic Jokes That Will Totally Catch You Off Guard

 

Sometimes the best jokes are the ones that take a sharp left turn at the very end. Here are three classic, slightly outrageous, and completely unexpected punchline jokes to brighten your day.

Joke #1: The Squirrel and the Elephant

A squirrel is living peacefully in a pine tree.

One day, the tree starts shaking and rocking violently. The squirrel looks outside and sees a massive elephant trying to climb up the trunk.

“What the hell!” the squirrel yells. “What do you think you’re doing climbing up this tree?!”

The elephant calmly replies,
“I’m climbing up here to eat pears.”

The squirrel stares at him, stunned.

“You moron! This is a pine tree! There are no pears up here!”

The elephant pauses for a moment and says,

“I know. I brought my own.”

Joke #2: The Three Soldiers

Three soldiers just got out of the Army and decided to celebrate with a helicopter ride.

One of them eats a banana and says,
“I wonder if we’d be able to see it land if I threw the peel out?”

He tosses it. They all watch… but don’t see it land.

The second soldier grabs a rock.
“This is bigger. We should see this one.”

He throws it. They watch… still nothing.

The third soldier pulls out a grenade, pulls the pin, and tosses it out the door.

“We’ll definitely see that one when it hits.”

They watch… and still see nothing.

Later, walking home, they see a little girl crying.

“What’s wrong?” they ask.

“I slipped on a banana peel that came out of nowhere!”

The soldiers explain what happened and help her up.

A little farther down the road, they see a boy holding his head.

“What happened?”

“A rock fell out of nowhere and hit me!”

Now they’re really concerned about the grenade.

One of them runs ahead and finds an old lady laughing hysterically.

“What’s so funny?” he asks.

The old lady wheezes between laughs:

“I just farted and my house blew up!”

Joke #3: A HUGE Email Gaffe

An Illinois man escaped the snowy streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and planned to meet him the next day.

After checking into his hotel, he decided to send her a quick email.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t find the paper with her exact email address, so he typed it from memory.

He missed one small letter.

The email was sent instead to an elderly widow whose husband had passed away the day before.

When the grieving widow opened her email, she read the message… screamed… and fainted.

Her family rushed in and saw this on the screen:

Dearest wife,
Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

PS: Sure is hot down here.

Hope these classic joke stories gave you a solid laugh today. Sometimes the most unexpected punchlines are the best kind.

Have a great day!
