31 Jokes for NERDS!

Vlogger Hank sez: In which Hank tells some seriously nerdy jokes. Harry Potter, theoretical physics, Star Trek, Star Wars, Chemistry, Engineering, Philosophy, Math, Computer Science...it's all fair game.

I chose 31 because I knew I wasn't going to hit 50 and I wanted to do a prime number.

I made this video before Humpy Hank became a thing...but something tells me that humpy hang is going to become more of a thing soon.

enough with the dramatic voices

But seriously, two chemists walk into a bar, the first says I'll have H2O, the second says I'll have H2O too. The second chemist dies shortly thereafter .

Meh - not very nerdy.

A little nerdy maybe - but you don't have to be much of a nerd to have taken high school math/chemistry, bumped into some pop-sci physics (Heisenberg and what not), read Harry Potter, or heard some pop philosophy. And "show you my natural log" is the polar opposite of nerd humor - it's a locker room snigger about a math term. It isn't a clever reference to some property of e... it's just giggles cause he said "log".

When I think nerd humor, it's more like this - it has some exclusivity about who will get it, it works on a couple levels, and yet is still very much a groaner (which is fine - I think nerd humor is more about demonstrating some cleverness, and the meta-joke that "you could think that was funny" than it is about actually making someone laugh).

That said, "her Patronus is a cake" is pretty funny.

Sadly enough of these jokes—which should be understood by anybody with at least a high school diploma—are not understood by many. The topics complicated? No...not at all, but still those that get it, are unfortunately in the minority.

You think most of the jokes aren't nerdy enough and then you laugh at a Harry Potter joke? What the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously.

Sorry, what part is the problem? That I don't think the jokes are very nerdy, or that I thought the Patronus joke was funny (but still not very nerdy - I mean, it isn't like Harry Potter was only seen or read by nerds)?

And how could you have such strong feelings about either of those opinions?
