If laughter’s the best medicine, then Reddit’s the world’s biggest comedy club. From time spent browsing a subreddit dedicated to shower thoughts to getting lost in a comment thread that keeps spiraling into the ridiculous, Reddit’s an endless supply of sarcasm and absurdity. From ultra-specific “AskReddit” questions and viral memes, there’s something endlessly funny about the way strangers come together in unison.
Each subreddit is its own world, part community, part improv stage, and part therapy session for anyone who has ever made a bad decision in their life. The millions of posts prove the internet is alive and well, and most of the people on it are on Reddit, cracking jokes.
This collection of the funniest Reddit posts causes you to laugh until you snort and question how much time you spend on the site in pursuit of the next hilarious comment.
Why Is Reddit So Funny?
Even serious topics tend to attract people with sharp wit and a skill for sarcasm. If you love offbeat humor and aren’t easily offended, Reddit offers plenty of comedic material. You may even get inspired with funny things to ask Alexa or Siri. We’ve handpicked some of the funniest Reddit threads of all time to get your sides aching from laughing so hard.
Reddit offers excellent user engagement and is often praised for its ability to drill down into niche topics via subreddits. Since the platform has a free speech approach for the most part — you do have to stay on topic and follow each reddit’s rules — some of the posts are outright hilarious. Most people enjoy visiting for answers to obscure questions, networking, connecting with like-minded people or a dash of snark.
A Decade of Threads
Some of the funniest subreddits still attract comments. While the initial thread may have been a decade ago, you’ll still see activity and additional hilarity. Here are the best posts from the last ten years.
1. Greg Improves Songs
A random post about replacing “I,” “me” and “my” with the name Greg results in dozens of hilarious song lyrics. One example is the rendering of “Love the Way You Lie.” I don’t know what kind of monster just stands there and watches the way Greg burns but if your humor is a bit on the darker side, you can’t help but laugh a little at the silliness of the new version. As the funniest Reddit threads go, it’s fairly mild.
Other songs users changed to target Greg included:
- “That’s Not My Name” aka Greg’s Not My Name
- “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” aka Greg Wants to Dance With Somebody
- “Every Breath You Take” aka Every Breath You Take, Greg Will Be Watching You — stalkerish
- “I Wanna Talk About Me” aka I Wanna Talk About Greg
The mix of songs comes from different decades and music styles, making the entire thread something to behold.
2. Darn Kevins!
One subreddit about a man named Kevin spurred a ton of stories about “Kevin.” The name quickly became the Karen of young difficult men as person after person chipped in a story. Some of the funniest ones were:
- Kevin breaking into a reader’s dorm room to cook an “unholy” amount of ground beef for tacos and leaving a note saying there were “heads” in the fridge when he meant heads of lettuce.
- Kevina doesn’t understand how tee shirts get shipped to the screen printer.
- The doctor who wore other doctors’ coats.
- Kevin, a singer in a band, refuses to sing songs he doesn’t like by saying he doesn’t know the song, even though he does.
The list goes on and on. It seems as though everyone has a Kevin or Kevina in their lives.
3. Raygun PhD in Breakdance
Anyone who watched the 2024 Olympics to see breakdancing included for the first time can tell you it was a nightmare from the instant Raygun stepped onto stage until she strutted off. The equivalent of those who can’t do teach, the professor also provided comic gold for people around the world, inadvertently creating one of the funniest reddit threads of all time. We’re sorry, Australia, but some of this is too good not to share.
- Memes of drunk middle-aged women trying to dance.
- Someone commented they thought she had a blocked anal gland and shared a funny dog GIF.
- Someone said her PhD came from GPT, hinting at the ridiculous errors artificial intelligence often makes.
- If these are the best minds education has to offer, we’re all doomed.
Raygun may not have understood the assignment when it came to representing breakdancing for her country, but she definitely made a name for herself. In another Reddit, users told her to stop making excuses and “own the suck.”
4. Customized Valentine’s Cards
Children are comedy goldmines, making this one of the funniest Reddit threads we’ve seen. One Reddit user posted about how their son edited a few of the Valentine’s Day cards to be more appropriate for how he feels about his classmates. An image of the changes made most commenters agree with the child. He used a black sharpie to cross out words and write some of his own and came up with cards that read:
- “You’re a Real Human.”
- “I Think You’re Cool.”
- “You’re the Kid in My Class.”
Posters agreed with him and added their thoughts such as that the new cards were:
- Whelmingly adequate
- Breathtakingly acceptable
- Brimming with adequacy
- Contractually mandated Valentines
They boy named Henry may have just started a new holiday trend.
5. Brain Misfires
A user on Reddit asked others what were the most bizarre things they did after a brain misfire. Some of the answers included:
- Grabbing a box of cereal and forgetting to put it away, instead hugging it close and sleeping with it like a stuffed animal
- Taking a drink from the paint brush water instead of the drinking glass
- Made a sandwich to take to work the next day, but ate it on accident
- Putting on deodorant on top of the shirt instead of on armpit
- Tried to find a lightswitch outside of the house to turn off the sun
When people are extremely tired, they tend to do some really unusual things. Luckily, they are willing to share their stories so we can all chuckle at them.
6. What Reddit Pays
A post saying farewell to Quentin, a co-moderator resulted in tons of hilarious comments. The original poster thanked Quentin and talked about when they were first hired. The resulting comments included nuggets such as:
- How much did they pay you?
- The word “hired” with crying emojis
- Comments on sweatshop slaves making more than Reddit janitors
- Someone else saying others are jealous of their $0.00 an hour job.
The self-importance of some Reddit moderators drew quite a bit of ire and the comments didn’t disappoint.
7. Worst Restaurant of All Time
If you dislike Applebee’s, this could be one of the funniest Reddit threads you see today. When a user posted asking for opinions on the worst restaurants, a long list of responses that said “Applebee’s” surfaced. As you scroll, it starts to become pretty funny how everyone posting seems to hate the chain. One user even proposed changing the question to “besides Applebee’s, what restaurant do you hate?”
Some of the funniest comments included:
- “Is this an anti-ad for Applebee’s? Who paid for this post? TGI Fridays?”
- “Applebee’s is run by a council of inept owners gathered from the worst episodes of Kitchen Nightmares.”
- “I finally learned to microwave my own food.”
- “Being a responsible adult means structuring your life so you never have to eat at Applebees.”
The thread has an almost unanimous consensus that Applebee’s sucks.
More Recent Chuckle-Worthy Subreddits
Even amid serious events, the past year or two has had lighthearted moments and funny threads. Here are a couple of our favorites.
When You’re Blessed With a Funny Child
Entire shows have been dedicated to the funny things kids say, such as “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” This thread, which appeared in 2025, features an adorable child making a snarky comment. People commented about the child’s wit and intelligence. One commenter compared the kid to a stand-up comedian.
Not Just Once, Twice!
And this is why you don’t text and drive. The video shows a woman ramming a golf cart into a neighbor’s house. That’s bad enough, but then she backs up and does it again, commenting, “I just ran into your house.”
Reddit users didn’t disappoint, with comments like:
- “This has all the earmarks of a ‘first time in Florida’ incident.”
- “Welcome to Florida.”
- “Even when she’s ejected from the vehicle she doesn’t stop scrolling….”
- “This new female reboot of Dumb and Dumber looks awesome.”
People also mentioned the woman seemed to be drinking and never looked away from her phone.
Collection of Snarky Comments
Snarky comments, dry wit and outright jokes fill the threads of Reddit, making it one of the most popular social platforms on the internet today. Now that Reddit is a publicly traded IPO, it will be interesting to see how it grows and changes in the coming years. Some Redditors have shares in the company, so there may be a bit of volatility. However, with over 430 million contributors, the platform is sure to stay in the news and keep adding humor to the web.
