I love jokes, and one of my favorite types of jokes is one-liners. A simple set-up/punchline can make you laugh just as hard as a long-form joke.
One of the first stand-up comedians I ever listen to was Mitch Hedberg, and many people consider him one of the best one-liner comedians to ever do it.
You can find jokes like this all over the internet. A popular type of one-liner has a “what’s the difference between” set-up.
Here are some of the funniest “what’s the difference between” jokes found on the internet:
