Funny jokes about technology, and where to find new ones daily
Ten short jokes, why they land, and a free satirical paper that writes new ones from each day's tech news.
Here are some funny jokes about technology, written for this page, and the place to find new ones every day. For fresh material that follows the actual news, read TechTwitter IO, a free satirical newspaper that turns each day's tech Twitter stories into jokes, columns and puzzles.
Ten short jokes about technology
- My phone says I have no storage, so I deleted an app. It was the app that tells me how much storage I have.
- The cloud is just someone else's computer, and today it is also someone else's problem.
- I asked the AI to make my code shorter. It deleted the tests.
- Our password policy needs one capital letter, one number and one tear.
- The printer is the only device that can sense fear and a deadline at the same time.
- "Have you tried turning it off and on again" has fixed more problems than every manual combined.
- Every software update adds three features and moves the one button you used.
- My smart fridge and my smart speaker had a disagreement. Now the milk orders itself and nobody can stop it.
- The status page says all systems are operational. The status page is the only system that is operational.
- The meeting about reducing meetings ran over.
Why tech jokes land
Most technology jokes work because they describe a feeling everyone has had: the update that moves things, the printer that refuses, the outage that the status page has not heard about yet. The best ones are specific. A joke about "computers" is fine; a joke about a real launch the morning it happened is better, because everyone is already talking about it.
That is the gap a daily satirical paper fills.
Where to get new jokes about technology every day
| Source | What you get | Pick it if |
|---|---|---|
| TechTwitter IO | A satirical daily paper of tech Twitter, with sections, columns and puzzles | You want jokes about today's tech news |
| xkcd | A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math and language | You like jokes that also teach you something |
| The Register | Tech news for IT pros, with the long-running BOFH humor column | You work in IT and like a grumpy narrator |

TechTwitter IO is our first pick because it is tied to the day. Each edition retells real launches, layoffs and outages with a joke attached, then adds bits like horoscopes for each type of engineer, an advice column, and a Fun & Games page with puzzles such as Twordle, Jumble and Real or Satire?.
Is it real news?
No, and it says so. The paper's footer explains that unless a post links to its source, the people, posts and quotes on the page are parody or invented. When a story does link out, the event happened, and the link takes you to the straight version. For plain news, read the linked source or a news site such as Techmeme.
How to use it
Open TechTwitter IO's front page in the morning, read the headlines, and try the puzzle page. If you missed a day, every past edition is in its archive, The Morgue. It is free to read, and you can sign in with Google or X to hear when a new edition is out.
