Up for a Laugh? Comedy Coronavirus Headlines
When someone tells you, “thank you, I really needed to laugh” it’s the most meaningful compliment any comedian can receive after a show. It serves as a much-needed reminder that it is precisely in the darkest of times that a sense of humor is most valuable.
With that in mind, it’s my hope that the coronavirus-related headlines I’ve been writing for the Babylon Bee and elsewhere will serve as an enjoyable respite for those concerned with the potentially catastrophic health and economic consequences of COVID-19 and the various policy responses to it.
Thankfully, my son is learning to edit and he wanted a project to pass the time.

Love the Bee. Unlike the news websites I read, when I read the Bee I know whether it is true or not.
That’s the funniest part of the Bee sometimes, that you have to know it is a satire site to be sure that it isn’t true.
And Dave, I am thrilled you are working for them.
The thing that makes them funny is the hint of truth. Nice editing job. Also like the postponing of the end of the world. Good add.
I’m surprised some governor hasn’t cancelled it altogether.
Humor usually has a touch of truth behind it. That’s one reason why dirty jokes are so popular!

A cruise ship gig is pretty cool (well, maybe not at the moment). But making the cut at The Babylon Bee? Outtasight, baby!
Wind powered ventilators…yessssss.
And solar powered masks!

AOC first in line I’m sure.
It’s not funny because you are reading in English but the newspaper is German. heh heh…
I think that makes it funnier!
“Trump’s coronavirus test comes back “beautiful.”
Beautiful.
Well done, & thanks!
And Germans are never funny – as someone who is half German can attest.
Unless you’re on the Iranian cruise liner Jihad of the Seas . . .
You write for the Bee? That is fantastic! Keep up the good work. :)
