The Canonical List of Band Jokes

As the title suggests, this is (more or less) a canonical list of band jokes. Of course, this site doesn't contain every single band joke ever written (since that would be impossible), but I'm trying my best to get pretty darn close. This is pretty much a collection of the best and the most insulting. Browse to your heart's content, but don't yell at me if your instrument is over-bashed or under-featured. It just depends on what I can find.

Speaking of which, there might be a tiny bit of pro-clarinet bias here, since that's my main instrument (I also play tenor sax, but I don't mind bashing it as much), and most clarinet jokes I can find only apply to a very few really, really lousy clarinet players that I can think of. I'm also not a huge fan of most trombone and trumpet players, and I have a fear of all saxophones except the tenor (especially the Bari, AKA Nuclear Weapon), so again, there's that. I'm trying to be fair, though. Cut me some slack.

Without band stereotypes, this site wouldn't be here. While sometimes insulting, think about it... how often are they usually completely wrong? Instead of being offended, just laugh at yourself... then click on another page and go laugh at someone else.

With that, enjoy the collection here, and feel free to write any of these down that you think might come in handy. Also, students at my school can ask for a printed packet of these jokes, though availability may be influenced somewhat by my attention span, and supply of paper and printer ink. Also, if anyone knows of any good jokes that aren't on here already, feel free to email them to me.

Well, what're you waiting for? Have at it!
