20 Jokes Only a Marketer Could Love

jokes-only-a-marketer-could-love

It’s well past time for marketers to get serious about comedy. The best way to connect with an audience is by authentically appealing to them on a human level. Adding humor to marketing is one of the most powerful ways to make that appeal.

Telling a joke does more than provide a moment’s diversion. When people share in a joke, it creates a sense of belonging. If you’ve ever sat around trading in-jokes with your friends, you know what I mean.

Humor can be a way to draw a circle around a group and pull them in—to say, “If you understand this joke, we’re in the same tribe. You get me and I get you.” That’s a powerful message to send to your potential customers. And it’s a good way to get the less relevant folks to opt out, too.

To underscore this point, I wrote 20 brand-new jokes that only marketers will get. If any of these jokes make you laugh, groan, or smirk, you’re in my tribe. Matching T-shirts are optional.

What I’m trying to say is, there’s nothing like a good joke.  And believe me, everything you’re about to read is nothing like a good joke.

20 Jokes that are Just for Marketers:

Q: Why couldn’t the marketer sell his baking equipment?

A: He had a leaky funnel.

 

Q: What’s a pirate’s favorite content format?

Did you hear about the marketer who imitates celebrities? He’s quite the bargain. He only charges per thousand impressions.

 

Q: Knock, knock!

A: Who’s there?

Q: A/B testing!

A: A/B testing, who?

Q: Would this joke be funnier if it were about screwing in a light bulb?

 

Humor brings people together. The corniest of puns can serve a valuable purpose if it tells your audience that you’re part of their tribe. If you enjoyed these jokes, I hope they inspire you to add more humor to your content.

What’s your favorite marketing joke? Let me know in the comments.
