For the person with twelve browser tabs, three unfinished lists, and one very patient chatbot: here is a small comedy break. These are original jokes written for Trolls. The assistants and headlines below are imaginary.

Seven one-liners for your group chat

  1. Asked my AI for a five-year plan. It suggested charging my laptop. Finally, achievable goals.
  2. My AI assistant has excellent work-life balance. It stops working the moment the Wi-Fi does.
  3. AI can organize my calendar. Unfortunately, it cannot make Wednesday feel like Friday.
  4. I told my chatbot to think outside the box. It asked whether the box had a subscription plan.
  5. My productivity bot sent a reminder to take a break. I have promoted it to management.
  6. Asked AI to summarize my day. It wrote: “Several tabs were opened. Closure remains uncertain.”
  7. My AI made a vision board. Mine is a fridge magnet that says “there is cheese.”

Seven conversations with a very literal assistant

  1. Me: “Can you make this meeting shorter?” AI: “Here is a resignation letter.” Me: “A little less short.”
  2. Me: “Write like a human.” AI: “Sorry, just saw this.” Me: “Too accurate.”
  3. Me: “What should I do first?” AI: “Close unnecessary tabs.” Me: “We have different definitions of necessary.”
  4. Me: “Help me stop overthinking.” AI: “Here are 47 possible approaches.” Me: “We need to talk.”
  5. Me: “I need a fresh perspective.” AI: “Have you tried looking away from the screen?” Rude. Helpful, but rude.
  6. Me: “Make this email warmer.” AI: “I have added a small radiator.” Me: “Keep the radiator.”
  7. Me: “Give me a realistic daily routine.” AI: “Wake up. Negotiate. Repeat.” Finally, someone understands.

Seven headlines from an extremely online world

  1. BREAKING: Local person completes task without first researching six better ways to complete it.
  2. AI productivity report: 14 minutes saved, 36 minutes spent choosing which tool to use.
  3. New smart fridge feature: gently asking whether you are looking for food or avoiding an email.
  4. Office update: the chatbot is now in charge of meetings because it is the only one with a mute button.
  5. Weather forecast for my browser: 80 percent chance of another tab, scattered forgotten passwords.
  6. System notification: you have successfully converted one simple question into an entire side project.
  7. Latest human upgrade: remembers why they walked into the room. Currently in limited release.

Make the joke yours

Pick the line that sounds like your actual day. Replace a meeting with a group project, or a fridge with the snack cupboard. Keep it short enough that your friends reach the punchline before another notification arrives.

For a meme, use two lines: the setup at the top, the punchline below. A joke about a familiar situation usually needs less explanation than a joke about someone else. If sharing a Trolls original, a link back lets your friends find the rest.

Want another tiny break? Read My AI made a five-year plan. I made toast. or My Wi-Fi has better boundaries than me.

One last reminder from an entirely fictional assistant: you do not have to optimize every minute. Some minutes are allowed to contain cheese.

More of this kind of weird.
