Funny History Jokes

21 posts

Image Copyright Tony Payne 2017A few of my favourite jokes are in this collection of the Best History Jokes which have been hand picked for you to enjoy.

History used to be one of my favourite subjects at school, so it’s a topic that is close to my heart, but it’s also a great source of inspiration for funny jokes and stories based on historical events, albeit rather twisted to make them humorous.

The castle in this picture is even one of my favourites, Corfe Castle in Dorset on the south coast of England.

If you enjoy these History Jokes too, please help spread the word about our site by sharing them.
