55 Adult Jokes: The 2010 “Dream Within A Dream & Insta-Glam” Edition

In 2010, adult humor went deep. If you weren’t joking about spinning tops and dream levels, you were trying to explain to your wife why you spent $500 on a “magical and revolutionary” tablet that was basically a digital picture frame. It was the year of the iPad, the Old Spice Man, and the realization that we were all just one “Like” away from a dopamine overdose.
