New Beer’s Eve Jokes: Kick Off the Brew Before the Big Day

Why makes this Joke funny?

• 
  “…could have become beer but didn`t.”

  This joke anthropomorphizes grains by suggesting they had a more glorious destiny—being turned into beer. Loaf of bread is a “failed” beer.

• 
  “…2 cases of beer instead of 1.”

  Instead of saving money or planning responsibly, the joke implies that over-preparing for beer consumption is a form of “planning.”

• 
  “…does not have to stop to change color.”

  This joke plays on the literal and figurative meanings of “system” and “change color.” It imagines the beer Corona as having a personality or process (changing color) that, when skipped, speeds up its journey through your body. The twist relies on reinterpreting a physical process in the context of a beverage’s effect.

• 
  “…filtered through a brewery first.”

  The joke comically implies that even water should be “improved” by being made into beer. It exaggerates the speaker’s devotion to beer by suggesting that nothing— not even water—is acceptable unless it passes through the process of becoming beer.

• 
  “…milk and change only four letters, you get beer.”

  The humor comes from the simplicity of the letter change and the underlying commentary on preferring beer over milk, thus turning language into a vehicle for preference.

• 
  “…Dinosaurs had no beer…”

  It suggests, that beer is such an essential part of life that even prehistoric extinction might have been avoided if only beer had existed.

• 
  “…buy beer, that`s kind of the same thing.”

  This joke plays on the old adage that money can’t buy happiness. By claiming beer is “kind of the same thing,” it humorously equates the feel-good effects of beer with the elusive nature of happiness, suggesting that beer might be an easier, more tangible route to joy.

• 
  “…ran out of beer, then ran to get some more.”

  The joke twists the typical narrative of exercise. Instead of showing commitment to a fitness regime, the runner’s two “runs” are driven by beer scarcity and the need to replace it, poking fun at prioritizing beer over health.

• 
  “…beer = salad.”

  It plays with the fact that while hops are indeed plants (and salad is made from plants), that doesn’t mean beer is nutritionally equivalent to salad.

• 
  “…drink in front of a mirror.”

  The joke cleverly exploits the double meaning of “watch.” Instead of reducing alcohol consumption, the speaker interprets the advice literally by drinking while looking at a reflection.
