Funny Spanish Jokes
Jokes (chistes) are a great way to practice Spanish! With the jokes on this list, you'll be sure to give your Spanish-speaking teachers, friends, or coworkers a good laugh. Keep in mind that a lot of the jokes in this list involve a play on words (juego de palabras), so you may need to read the explanations we've given so you're in on the joke.
1. Fishy Fun
Explanation
Nada means both nothing and it swims, which explains the punchline of this cute joke.
2. Roof Talk
3. Salsa Time
Explanation
Salsa can refer to a sauce or a musical genre.
4. Doors of Opportunity
Explanation
This joke really just subverts the listener's expectation that the joke teller is going to impart some inspirational information on opening figurative doors, when in fact they simply give two literal words that give instructions for opening actual doors.
5. Self-Aware Bathtub
6. Holy Bird
Explanation
An Ave María is a Hail Mary, so when the joke teller gives the name of the holy bird in this joke, he's also saying the beginning of a common prayer.
7. Celestial Humor
Explanation
This joke hinges on the fact that the listener most likely believes the joke teller is asking a serious question about astronomy. The joke teller, however, flips that explanation on its head by giving an explanation that would be more likely in a situation involving two children. It works out perfectly that the moon is indeed the only one of these two celestial bodies that comes out de noche (at night).
