On Thanksgiving, we sit around spewing gratitude at the dinner table and taking stock of our materialistic impulses. Then, the next day, we throw all that out the window and race to the store to stock up on useless crap. Ah, tradition. It’s easy to make fun of Black Friday — rampant capitalism, crazy shoppers, and bloody fistfights over $2 ramekins make this day infamous in America. Is it really any wonder that social media sees an influx of Black Friday jokes and memes every year? And, fair warning: Unlike the good-natured puns of Thanksgiving just a day before or the jolly Christmas punchlines and Hanukkah humor that come a month later, Black Friday jokes have a bit more bite. But, hey, even knock-knock jokes can drip with sarcasm depending on who tells them, right? At the end of the day, it’s all in good fun.

So, in honor of all that ridiculousness, here are some clean Black Friday jokes you can share with the caffeine-wired consumer fidgeting next to you in line. (Here’s hoping jokes do the trick, and you don’t need any comebacks and insults for your consumer extravaganza.)

Happy shopping!
