Everyone loves a good joke… even if that joke is technically “bad.” What’s the difference between a good joke and a bad joke? Honestly, it often depends on who’s telling the joke or who is listening. We thought about it for a while and here’s how we decided to tell the difference: If you laugh at a joke, it’s good and if you laugh or smile, but roll your eyes then it’s a “bad joke.” Groundbreaking, isn’t it?

Whether we’re straight-up laughing or doing a bit of eye-rolling, it doesn’t matter to us. A joke is a joke is a joke. All attempts at fun and humor are greatly appreciated. And, with Halloween always creeping closer, we’re ready to laugh at Halloween’s expense. We want witch jokes and zombie jokes. We even want pumpkin jokes. Right now, though, we’re here for the ghost jokes. Clearly you are, too. So, enjoy these amazingly ghoul’d (and boo’d) ghost jokes on us.
