97 Gossip Jokes That Are Better Than Gossiping Itself

You’re nobody until you’re talked about, says a famous tagline from the beloved cult series Gossip Girl. One of the things one can take away from the show is that people will always find a way to criticize and detest you, no matter what you do, how well you do it, or how much you mess up. We all know that gossiping is not nice. However, deliberately or not, we all engage in it sometimes. Point me to a single person who wouldn’t want to hear some juice about their former classmates. Exactly.

Gossip jokes only confirm that people can make a joke about literally any subject and make fun of everything and anything. Cowboy jokes, jokes about plumbers, and even camping jests, you name it. As you can probably tell from the title, we will dip into jokes about gossip and joke about the delicious, beguiling temptation that many simply can’t resist. If you think that tittle-tattles are juicy, then prepare for jokes about gossiping because they are dripping.

Although funny jokes about hearsay can be amusing, we do not encourage gossiping or spreading rumors. While tittle-tattles can be somewhat helpful in bonding with people and instructive in some ways, gossiping is morally wrong and toxic. By engaging in gossip, we poison our thoughts with negativity and prejudice. Hence, let’s avoid it and engage the group with good jokes instead!

Below, we’ve compiled some of the funniest jokes about gossiping! Do you know of any more funny gossip jokes and puns? Let us know!
