These jokes are generated by GPT-5 (2 in non-thinking mode, 3 in thinking).
If you think any of these jokes are funny, vote YES. If none is funny, vote NO.
Why don’t graveyards ever get overcrowded?
Because the ghosts keep giving up their spots — they say “it’s dead boring here.”I promoted my microwave to 'Director of Ambition.' Now every reheated meal comes with a 30-second TED Talk about seizing the leftovers.
I asked my brain for an original joke. It replied, “Currently out of stock — backordered by my sense of responsibility.”
I asked my bookshelf for career advice. It said, “Stand tall, accept heavy responsibilities, and remember: people will judge you by your cover.”
Why did the quantum physicist bring a coffee mug to the entanglement experiment?
Because they wanted to observe some “spooky action at a latte”!

Hot take: even with real people standalone jokes are rarely funny, I way more often laugh at comedic disses, commentary, anecdotes etc, including when it's pun-based e.g. this creative counter-pun from Bing Copilot AI caught me by surprise:
I think you're unlikely to get funny jokes if you just give it a generic task of "please create some funny original jokes". To actually get it to make some great jokes, you need to be more specific. Here are some examples:

@AmadeoBordiga Indeed, they are quite bad, most of them at least. Here's another attempt, this time a different approach:

@ZlatkoJovicic I think these are noticeably worse than the examples in the original poll. There's just no understanding of how punchlines work (#12 is maybe a viable setup but there's no payoff), the pacing is messy, the specificity really seems to be pushing the model towards non-jokes or attempts at observational humor. Interestingly, I think this is a "big model smell" issue - GPT4 was less funny to me than GPT3.5, GPT4.5 was much less funny than GPT4, GPT5 is the least funny of them all.
Have you checked the second link, those about politics... I think they are still bad... but perhaps you'll like those better.
@ZlatkoJovicic Works now, looks like the same issues structurally though. Maybe #3 and #6 have something, but there just aren't any good punchlines here.
@speck Yeah, they are generally bad. But then, most people are also very bad at inventing new jokes. In fact I never met a person claiming to invent new jokes. I made some attempts on my own, and they were quite bad. Most people just retell well known jokes they heard from someone or found on the Internet. I think actual creation of new jokes is a rather rare talent.
@ZlatkoJovicic I wouldn't say it's that rare, lots of people are comedians, but it seems like the goalposts are moving either way here.
5 makes me want to autolobotomize, which isn't the same as being funny but humor is meant to challenge us. 4 is the closest to being funny, but bookshelves don't have covers and "responsibilities" is a non-sequitir, too much is confusing to me.
Assuming funny means having any sort of amusement, I vote yes. 1 and 2 are mid, 3 and 5 are bad, 4 is enough to bring a smile like @Kronopath said.
They’re all pretty terrible, except 4 is kind of decent. Not laugh-out-loud funny but does bring a slight smile.
5 is my vote for worst. “Spooky action at a latte” isn’t even a pun, it makes no sense, any potential humour was destroyed by my brain trying to figure out what on earth was even being communicated.
