Best Pool Jokes

22. One day a man walked into a bar and challenged the bartender to a game of pool for $100 a game. The bartender agreed and they started playing. After a few games, the man had won a few hundred dollars. He then upped the bet to $500 a game and eventually to $1000 a game. At this point, the bartender was down $5000 and decided he needed to win his money back. So he put sleeping pills in the man’s drink. Soon after, the man fell asleep at the table, allowing the bartender to win back his money.

When the man woke up and realized what had happened, he looked at the bartender angrily and said, “I can’t believe you drugged and robbed me. I’m never coming back to this place!”

The bartender replied, “Come on man, you sleep on the table, you loose your money. Those are the pool rules.”

23. Jake was excited when his parents surprised him with a pool table for his birthday. He invited his friend Joey over to play. After a few games, Joey was far ahead. Jake said “Let’s make this more interesting. Every time you sink a ball, I’ll give you $5. But every time I sink a ball, you have to give me $5.” Joey agreed.

Jake broke and sunk 3 balls in a row! But then Joey stepped up and sank 4 balls in a row. Jake paid up the $20 he owed. This back and forth continued for a while, with Jake and Joey exchanging money after each turn.

Eventually Joey said, “Hey man, you’re almost out of money. Want to quit?” Jake replied, “No way! Even though I’m down $30, statistically I’m bound to get lucky soon. I’ll win it all back!” So they continued playing.

But unfortunately, Jake’s luck didn’t turn around. He ended up losing all his cash to Joey. As Joey pocketed the last $5 bill, he shrugged and said “Sorry Jake, the pool odds were just not in your favor today.”

24. Steve was bragging to his friends about his great pool skills. He claimed he could hit any shot on the table. His friend James challenged him to a game, saying there was no way Steve was that good. They agreed to play a game for $20.

Steve broke and immediately started calling and making impossible shots, one after another. James’s jaw dropped as Steve sank every ball without missing. After the 8 ball fell into the corner pocket for game, Steve looked at James with a smug grin. “I told you I never miss a shot! Pay up.”

James handed over the $20 reluctantly. Then he said, “Well you sure proved me wrong. Let’s play again, double or nothing!” Steve agreed excitedly.

This time when Steve broke, he scratched on the break. Then he missed easy shot after easy shot. James ended up running the table and winning the game easily. He looked at Steve and laughed “So much for never missing, huh?”

Steve stammered “I, uh, the table must be off today.” James just smiled and said “Yeah, sure. Enjoy your walk of shame back to your car.”

25. Tom was an amazing pool player. He could sink any shot, no matter how impossible. One night he was playing at a bar, easily beating everyone who challenged him. A stranger walked up and said “I hear you’re the best player in town. I’ll bet my most prized possession that you can’t make this trick shot.” He pulled out an expensive looking watch and set it on the table.

Tom examined the shot. It seemed easy enough for him. He said “Ok, you’re on!” Tom lined up the cue ball and shot it hard to make the difficult bank shot combo. But he scratched on the 8 ball, not even touching the other balls. The stranger laughed as he pocketed his watch. As Tom stood staring in disbelief, the man walked out and said “I guess you just ran out of time.”

26. Billy loved playing pool more than anything. He would spend hours a day practicing trick shots in his basement. He dreamed of becoming a famous trick shot artist one day.

One afternoon, Billy was in the zone – he had made 10 impossible shots in a row. As he lined up another insane combo, he heard his mom call him for dinner. “Just a second Mom!” Billy shouted as he shot the cue ball. It bounced perfectly off the bumpers and into the precise target pocket. Billy jumped up excitedly yelling “Did you see that Mom? It was amazing!”

As he turned around, he realized no one had been watching. There was no one to witness the incredible shot. His mom called again “I said it’s time for dinner!” Billy sighed, put down his pool cue, and went upstairs. Someday, he thought, I’ll become so good that huge crowds will be there to see every shot. Then, no matter what Mom says, I won’t have to stop playing pool.
