45+ Jokes For Seniors That'll Make Them Laugh No Matter What

Laughter is one of the only tools that can get us through anything. When things seem dark, a good chuckle can give us a better perspective. Jokes for seniors are more vital than ever, as many seniors can’t connect with their families the way they used to due to social distancing guidelines. Not being able to be in a room with your family for a year means that you often need the power of jokes to get you by. Luckily, jokes for seniors are a lot of fun. They’re not too dirty and usually reach a pretty wide audience. And, of course, they’re not mean-spirited. Jokes aren’t funny if someone has the potential of getting hurt by the punchline.

So, here are some jokes for seniors that’ll brighten their day with some hearty chuckles.
