Corn for Chickens

The best corny jokes and other inanities.

Why the title, you might wonder? Well, that is a bad joke in itself. Just as corn is considered a treat for chickens, so might this book be a treat for those who enjoy real groaners – that are, jokes that are so laughably unfunny, you can’t help smiling.

‘Chicken’ can also refer to one who feels fear, so be very afraid if you should think of retelling any of these jokes to others. If you are an intrepid wisecracker anyway, you may expect to be greeted with howls of derision before going to get your coat.

So there you have it. This is a collection of the corniest possible jokes, with a few witticisms thrown in here and there. We sincerely hope you enjoy not being very amused, and we promise that you won’t die laughing.

KATHERINE BLACK REVIEW

PROPER dad jokes.

This is a great collection celebrating the art of the groan-worthy joke. The humour is so corny that it’s genuinely funny, a light-hearted delve-in to make you smile. They are beautifully presented with some great illustrations and are well thought out. My favourite sections were the animals and the section on spoonerisms.

Q: Which animal is like a cockney heatwave?
A: Otter (`otter) …I’ll just leave that one with you. Boom! Boom!  And the cymbals crash.

Imagine taxi drivers on a long airport run reeling off these jokes to their passengers—who can’t escape. Perfect. They are perfect for pulling out of the hat at Christmas dinner. I like the idea of sharing one every day, just to make people smile. These are great for anyone seeking a chuckle—or at least a sheepish grin. The playful tone makes the jokes intentionally cheesy, which feels like an inside joke between the author and the reader.

 

Corn for Chickens is charming because it acknowledges the daftness. A lot of thought has gone into creating this lovely book. It’s a steady stream of “so-bad-they’re-good” quips that tap into universal humour, making it a perfect read for lifting the spirits or breaking the ice at parties. Whether you’re flipping through a few pages for a quick laugh or sharing a punchline with friends, this collection delivers what it promises: a humorous retreat from the mundane.

Perfect for a kid’s stocking filler –or for that matter a Christmas gift for anybody. That person that you can never buy for—sorted!

Be prepared for laugh out loud one liners, puns, and awful groaners in one compact book of jokes. The jokes are split into handy categories, so you will be easily able to find one to fit any occasion. Great fun for old and young alike.

Brilliant fun. This is the best bunch of Christmas cracker jokes I have ever read and every one of them was new to me. I almost wish the answers were in a separate section in the back because if you’re gifted like me, you can work out most of the answers, as with all traditional Christmas cracker jokes. You could almost call these jokes short riddles.

Although I approached this book with a fair amount of trepidation, I wouldn’t say I was chicken. And yet I enjoyed it immensely. So don’t be misled by the title. It’s not just for chickens. Indeed, I doubt chickens would be able to read it. But if they could they would no doubt think it eggcellent.

‘Corn for chickens’, does exactly what it says on the tin.
A book full of corny one liners.
What’s not to love? We all like corny jokes really if we’re honest. We tend to pull a jib when we hear one, followed by a laugh, and then telling someone else the same gag.
There’s some crackers (excuse the pun) to tell kids this Christmas. They’ll love them.
Go on you know you want to. Ha!
