72 Ridiculously Accurate Memes That Make You Laugh At Things You Never Questioned

Some jokes are funnier when the person delivering them acts as though they’ve just shared an important scientific discovery. Imagine someone explaining, with a perfectly straight face, that a skyscraper is called that because it scrapes the sky. The explanation is ridiculous, but the complete lack of hesitation makes it even funnier.

This is known as deadpan humor. It means delivering something absurd in a serious, matter-of-fact way. There’s no wink or dramatic pause to give the joke away. The speaker treats it like a perfectly reasonable observation and leaves everyone else to deal with the nonsense.

Technically true jokes can be surprisingly hard to argue with, which is part of their charm.

The best technically true jokes leave you laughing, questioning your common sense, or reluctantly admitting that someone has a point.
