A joke from the daughter of one of Matthew's dad's former students. Sent in by the erstwhile barber of the son of the congressman who's aunt died in that boating accident.

Thanks to Megan Schoonmaker for this hilarious and very accurate Star Wars joke. (Apologies on the pronunciation of your last name . . . :/ )

This is Matthew's first encounter with the Boriwitz Report from the New Yorker. Can he get through this short piece without cracking?

If you hate Comic Sans, this joke is for you.

This is a joke Matthew would have (and honestly, probably did) laughed at in third grade.

A good joke, but one with an unknown word. The word was "Interlard" - which means "intersperse or embellish speech or writing with different material."

This joke is in honor of Ella's dad, Stuart, who just made some sort of spam dish that Matthew doesn't know how to pronounce.

Temperature puns are great. They make you feel cool.

Thanks to Megan Schoonmaker for this one!

Happy Birthday to Sue, and an absolutely hilarious McSweeney's Monologue that Matthew has to read without laughing. Full article here: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/im-just-a-fucking-cat
