The World’s Worst Jokes is a pocket-sized humour book from the Mini Ha-Ha series, featuring a deliberately cringe-inducing selection of short jokes, weak punchlines, and intentionally corny wordplay. Rooted in mid-20th-century British popular humour, the book embraces anti-humour and novelty comedy, where the entertainment lies in the sheer silliness of the jokes themselves. Designed for casual reading and light amusement, it reflects a period tradition of joke booklets intended as playful gifts and collectible paperbacks, offering a snapshot of everyday humour culture rather than literary satire.
