Best Bowling Jokes
23. Last night at league night, I threw my ball right into the gutter over and over. When my teammate asked what happened, I told him I didn’t want to talk about it. Some things are better left unsaid.
My teammate just shook his head and said, “That’s okay, no need to get bent out of shape. Just pick yourself up and try again. Every bowler has an off night.”
His encouragement really lifted my spirits. I grabbed my ball and approached the lane with renewed confidence. This time, I kept my eye on the pins and rolled a strike! My teammate cheered and gave me a high five. I learned an important lesson – never give up, even when the odds seem stacked against you.
24. I was excited to join a bowling league with my buddies. But on the first day, I showed up armed with nothing but my two-finger bowling ball. As soon as I walked in, the other bowlers started whispering and pointing.
One guy came up to me and said, “Hey pal, this is a pro league. We only use regulation bowling balls here.”
Embarrassed, I stammered, “Oh sorry, this is the only ball I have.”
He shook his head in disbelief. “Well, you’re just going to have to stick your other fingers in the holes and make it work.”
I spent the rest of the day flailing wildly and launching my ball into other lanes. Needless to say, it was not my finest bowling moment.
25. My friend Bob loves bowling more than just about anything. He plays in three different leagues and is always trying to get the rest of us to join him at the alley. Last week, he called me up excitedly saying, “I just bought a new high-tech bowling ball – this baby has sensors and gyroscopes! It’s guaranteed to improve your score.”
I happily agreed to meet him for a game. But when I saw the ball, my jaw dropped. It looked like a spaceship with flashing lights and buttons all over. Bob held it proudly and said, “All I have to do is enter my bowling profile, preferred spin, and release. The ball does the rest!”
Over the next hour, I watched in amazement as Bob’s crazy ball zig-zagged, curved, and spun wildly down the lane. Our fellow bowlers didn’t know whether to laugh or duck for cover. In the end, the tech ball scored worse than just throwing a regular ball straight.
Bob’s fancy new toy definitely brought some excitement to bowling night. But it also taught us that sometimes, simple is best.
26. Carl joined our bowling team last month, insisting he was an expert player. But in his first game, his bowling form was hilariously bizarre.
First, he would balance on one leg while swinging his ball between his knees. Then he would roll it down the lane ever so slowly, wobbling the whole way. The ball always ended up in the gutter.
We teammates scratched our heads watching Carl’s antics. “Hey buddy, why don’t you try holding the ball with both hands and running up to release it?” we suggested.
Carl looked shocked. “You mean I don’t have to bowl between my legs? I thought that was proper technique!”
Once we showed him the normal bowling stance, Carl’s game improved tremendously. Turns out he had never actually bowled before but didn’t want to admit he was a beginner. We all had a good laugh about it later.
27. My neighborhood bowling alley had a major bug problem, and league night was always an adventure. The owner refused to call an exterminator, so we bowlers took matters into our own hands.
Before each game, we would go on a stomping rampage, smashing every spider and beetle in sight. Then we’d bowl like normal, stopping to squash any critters that crawled across our lane.
One night, I heaved my glittery pink ball toward the pins. But halfway down the lane, it suddenly changed course and zoomed into the gutter. We rushed over to investigate and found my ball had crushed a gigantic cockroach, leaving guts and goo all over the lane.
From then on, our team name was The Insect Exterminators. We didn’t win many games, but we sure had fun trying!
28. When my friends invited me to join their bowling team, I warned them that I was an awful player. But they convinced me it would still be fun.
At my first game, I marched up, swung the ball between my legs, and catapulted it with great force…into the lane next to us.
My second try wasn’t much better. The ball slipped from my grasp and blasted directly into the ceiling light fixture, shattering it to pieces.
For my third attempt, I managed to release the ball down the correct lane. My friends cheered – until we heard a loud crash. I had bowled a perfect strike against the snack bar, demolishing their pretzel display.
Needless to say, I was banned from the bowling alley after that. But hey, at least I knocked down all the pins…and then some!
29. Sally was the star player on our bowling team. She had perfect form and could effortlessly bowl strikes every time.
In one crucial league game, Sally stepped up to take her final frame. She gracefully swung the ball down the lane, where it hit the pocket perfectly. “Another strike!” we cheered.
However, instead of falling over, the pins remained standing. We all gasped in disbelief. Sally turned pale and clutched her chest. I guess nobody told her that guide rails had been installed to stop bowlers from getting too many strikes.
Our helpless star player had to be carried away, overwhelmed by the fact that she wasn’t actually a flawless bowling goddess. She quit the team the next day.
30. Dave was the worst bowler on our team. Not only was his form atrocious, but he also insisted on greeting other teams before each game.
“Hey guys! Welcome to bowl-timore!” he would joke. “Let’s have some pun tonight!”
The opposing players rolled their eyes and tried ignoring Dave’s attempts at bowling humor. But he wouldn’t give up.
“You know, I used to bowl like you guys – until I took an arrow to the knee!” Dave snickered.
Finally, the league commissioner declared Dave’s puns a distraction and made him sit out the rest of the season. Our team’s score improved drastically after that.
