One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes
a series of Chinese comics
One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes (Chinese: 十万个冷笑话) is a series of Chinese comics that are being serialized on the Chinese online comic website YouYaoQi. One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes is mainly constituted by several stories of parodies of classic Chinese animations and comics such as Prince Nezha's Triumph Against Dragon King and Calabash Brothers, famous Japanese animations and comics like Detective Conan and Ultraman, western fairytales such as Pinocchio and Snow White, as well as some original mini-series. The chapters have little to no specific relationship between each other, but still subtle clues exist between each story. The lines in the comics are funny and popular among the Chinese netizens, partly due to heavy uses of internet slang, Japanese animations and comics (e.g. in the story of The Calabash Brothers, the characters use various Japanese words). This comic has now been remade by the original author and YouYaoQi into an animated version, which is regarded as a milestone for the Chinese animation industry. After being released one episode per month, animation has temporarily ended.
In 2014, the original team who created One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes released a film version.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes” as a series of Chinese comics. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as a series of Chinese comics. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10904362. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
