Hammering Out The Punchlines: We Had AI Write Us Warhammer 40k Jokes

Sure, there are funny moments in the forty-first millennium. There’s capers and one liners throughout the lore and books. but what the setting really lacks is some straight up Warhammer 40k jokes. The classic style of comedy we all knew as children. But we’re here to help.

The Handful of Dice team have taken an opportunity to commune with the Omnissiah (via Open AI’s ChatGPT) and, given this unprecedented access to the wisdom of the Machine God, there was only one question we wanted to ask. ‘What are your twenty best Warhammer 40k jokes?’

After processing an inordinate amount of binharic code we’ve deciphered the results and can proudly present you with what is evidently the peak of humour in the far future. Enjoy.
