Hi everyone,

I’m compiling a list of creative references and wanted to focus specifically on high-quality funny book titles. Not all databases of funny book titles are equally helpful, especially when humor feels forced.

I’m interested in sources that emphasize wit, timing, and originality in funny book titles. While browsing different collections of funny book titles, I found one that struck a good balance between clever and usable. What qualities do you look for when saving funny book titles for future inspiration?

When I save funny book titles for inspiration, I’m usually looking for more than just a quick laugh. High-quality funny book titles tend to show restraint—they feel purposeful, not overstuffed, and the humor comes from a clear idea rather than a pile-on of jokes. Wit and timing matter a lot: the title should land immediately but still feel smart on a second read.
