52 Adult Jokes: The 2018 “Thanos Snap & Tide Pod” Edition

In 2018, adult humor felt a bit like a survival game. If you weren’t dodging spoilers for the MCU, you were trying to figure out if your teenager was actually eating laundry detergent. It was the year of the Fortnite dance (Flossing everywhere), the Royal Wedding #2 (Harry & Meghan), and the realization that Elon Musk launching a car into space was just another Tuesday.
