54 Adult Jokes: The 2022 “Keep My Name Out Your Mouth” Edition

In 2022, adult humor was punchy—literally. If you weren’t trying to guess a 5-letter word in six tries, you were probably arguing about whether Elon Musk actually wanted to buy Twitter or if it was just a mid-life crisis on a galactic scale. It was the year of BeReal (the app that caught us at our worst), the Minions in suits (Gentleminions), and the realization that inflation was the only thing rising faster than our blood pressure.
