About the collection
Chernobyl jokes and their context
The disaster is the subject of these images, including jokes that can be upsetting. Some captions borrow the language of television drama. This archive preserves an earlier online conversation, and its punchlines need that context.
The science joke collection covers classroom and lab humor if you want a different subject.
