Many people think the most exciting phrase in science is “Eureka!” But when I was in school, my favorite phrase was: “Class dismissed!” I realized science wasn’t for me when a frog dissection inspired me to change my major to English. What can I say? I just couldn’t cut it. (Wink, wink.) But as you can see, science jokes are a whole other thing.
Whether you’re at home in a lab or out of your element, the best jokes about science will make you explode with laughter. (Maybe put on some goggles to stay safe.) With funny biology jokes, physics puns and chemistry quips, this list has been scientifically proven to make anyone LOL. Ahead, enjoy these science jokes that will entertain, impress and possibly make you sound a lot smarter than you actually are.
