The Best (and Worst) Punny Jokes Only Data Scientists Will Understand

For the first KDnuggets post on Hacker Noon, we bring you a lighter fare of very nerdy computer humor from the series of self-referential jokes started on Twitter earlier this week. Here are some of our favorites.

If you do understand all of the jokes, then you congratulate yourself on having excellent knowledge of Data Science and Machine Learning! If you have actually laughed at 2 or more jokes, then you have earned MS in Computer Humor! If you just smirked, you probably have a Ph.D. And I have a great joke about AGI, but it will be ready in 10 years.

Enjoy, and if you have more, add them in comments below!

We also saw many good jokes on LinkedIn in the post of Andriy Burkov, (ML at Gartner, author of The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book) and comments:

I have a data joke, but it' too dirty.

Mike Abecina, Head of Data Strategy
I have a good Bayesian laugh that came from a prior joke.

We hope at least one of these jokes made your smirk or facepalm in dismay. What do you have a joke about? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter!
