Hilarious Data Science & AI Jokes
We’ve taught bootcamps for more than 5,000+ people, which means we’ve heard almost every joke out there. Here are some of our favorite data science jokes and memes.
What is a Data Scientist?
- There are two kinds of data scientists. 1.) Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
- Data science is 80% preparing data, 20% complaining about preparing data.
- There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don’t.
- What’s the difference between an introverted data analyst & an extroverted one? Answer: the extrovert stares at YOUR shoes.
- Why did the chicken cross the road? The answer is trivial and is left as an exercise for the reader.
- The data science motto: If at first you don’t succeed; call it version 1.0
- What do you get when you cross a pirate with a data scientist? Answer: Someone who specializes in Rrrr
- A SQL query walks into a bar, walks up to two tables and asks “Can I join you?”
- Why should you take a data scientist with you into the jungle? Answer: They can take care of Python problems
- Old data analysts never die – they just get broken down by age
- I don’t know any programming, but I still Excel in my field!
- Data is like people – interrogate it hard enough and it will tell you whatever you want to hear.

For Statisticians
- Statistics may be dull, but it has its moments.
- You are so mean that your standard deviation is zero.
- How did the random variable get into the club? By showing a fake i.i.d.
- Did you hear the one about the statistician? Probably….
- Three statisticians went out hunting and came across a large deer. The first statistician fired, but missed, by a meter to the left. The second statistician fired, but also missed, by a meter to the right. The third statistician didn’t fire, but shouted in triumph, “On the average we got it!”
- Two random variables were talking in a bar. They thought they were being discrete, but I heard their chatter continuously.
- Statisticians love whoever they spend the most time with; that’s their statistically significant other.
- Old age is statistically good for you – very few people die past the age of 100.
- Statistics prove offspring’s an inherited trait. If your parent didn’t have kids, odds are you won’t either.

On Artificial Intelligence
- Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity
- Do Neural Networks Dream of Strictly Convex Sheep?
- What did one support vector say to another support vector? Answer: I feel so marginalized
- AI blogs are like philosophy majors. They’re always trying to explain “deep learning.”
- How many support vectors does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: Very few, but they must be careful not to shatter* it.
- Parent: If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you follow them? Machine Learning Algorithm: yes.
- They call me Dirichlet because all my potential is latent and awaiting allocation
- Batch algorithms: YOLO (You Only Learn Once), Online algorithms: Keep Updates and Carry On
- “This new display can recognise speech” “What?” “This nudist play can wreck a nice beach”
- Why did the naive Bayesian suddenly feel patriotic when he heard fireworks? Answer: He assumed independence
- Why did the programmer quit their job? Answer: Becauses they didn’t get arrays.
- What do you call a program that identifies spa treatments? Facial recognition!
