Ronald Reagan Jokes that will leave you in splits

- Ronald Reagan was a master of using humor to connect with people and convey messages. His ability to self-deprecate, tell jokes, and use anecdotes made him a popular and effective communicator. Reagan's humor was often disarming, allowing him to make serious points in a lighthearted way. He also used humor to defuse tense situations and to build rapport with his audience.
Reagan's sense of humor was shaped by his years as a Hollywood actor and radio broadcaster. He was known for his quick wit and his ability to tell a good story. He often used humor in his speeches and public appearances, and he was always willing to poke fun at himself.
One of Reagan's most famous jokes was about his age. During a 1984 debate with Walter Mondale, Mondale said that Reagan was too old to be president. Reagan responded by saying, "I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and vigor." The audience laughed, and Reagan had turned Mondale's attack into a joke.
Reagan also used humor to deflect criticism. When he was accused of being out of touch with the common people, he would tell stories about his childhood in Iowa and Illinois. He would also joke about his own mistakes, such as the time he fell asleep during a cabinet meeting.
Reagan's humor was not always without controversy. Some people accused him of using humor to trivialize serious issues. Others said that he was too quick to joke about sensitive topics. However, there is no doubt that Reagan's humor was one of his most effective tools as a communicator. It helped him to connect with people from all walks of life and to make his message more memorable.

The first President I was able to vote for and the BEST President I've lived under. God Bless Ronnie Reagan and Nancy too....
❤❤❤
He was a classy President and a true global statesman.
Yes we liked him 8n the UK to
The Great Communicator. A man who truly cared enough to answer all questions, address all topics of concern, plus share the gift of laughter and attempt to make everyone's day a little better. The press, journalists, democrat & republican politicians, foreign diplomats, and especially the common people whom he never considered himself above, all felt relaxed and respected.
Kids nowadays don't know why it is funny when the Russian dog said "what's bark" . Back then the USSR was so broke they couldn't provide gas to the people for heat so the people went to all their parks and chopped down all the trees to burn for heat.
@@michaelb43 You don't know it either ! The bark means in the joke, , to speak freely ! Russians was mot allowed to bark ( to speak freely ) ! They had to keep their mouth shut ! Gabor Czirjak USA
@@gaborczirjak4172 Ladies ladies... you are both pretty (ie. you are both right!).
He was a class act! God Bless him.
He signed the vaccine damage prosecution immunity bill in 1986 which has killed and IS killing millions, while making big pharma $trillions. A real class act.
I miss when Presidents told jokes instead of BEING a joke....
I came to America during Ronald Reagan presidency. He was the best president in my lifetime.
No, Donald Trump is.
I always loved Ronny and always will, but he has been eclipsed.
Can't agree more
@@user-tc9wd4gu1kwhat did trump do again?
Wonderful. What country did you come from?
He told a story about an American and Russian who were debating about which country had more freedom. The American said, "In America, I can walk right into the President's office and complain about how he is running the USA." The Russian responded, "Well in my country I can also walk right into the Premier's office and complain about how your President is running the USA."
I think his best joke was after he was shot in the hospital he said to Nancy "Sorry Honey, I forgot to duck"
@@seanworkman431
And his worse joke is how he screwed over every man women and child in this country who wasn’t wealthy.
He was my Commander in Chief when i was serving in the U.S. Air Force. Great man. Very funny. God Bless Him. ✝
My favorite part of his jokes is the way his face lights up when he tells a joke
He was 100% genuine.
Yeah same here I like when he makes people laugh
What about the part where his face assumes a vapid countenance due to his ongoing dementia issues while still in office?
Remember when a president had a sense of humor. He actually joked about being accused of having a short attention span.
I miss the '80's, a decade made great by Ronald Reagan's positive influence. Great years.
We older folks all miss the old era 😢
I am not into politics,but believe me or not,he was the only politician I actually laughed his jokes at and made me smile.
I just love the tone of his voice when he tells jokes.
His presentation, voice tone and articulation surely put him above most of other politicians of the 20th century and to this day of the 21st century.
One of our Greatest Presidents!
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Gorbachev driving over the speed limit was the best.
God bless America 🇺🇸
Thanks for your service
Than you for supplying us with these nifty mini-stories:) We ,Lithuanians, were under Moscow's iron fist then. Soviet mass media poured mud and sludge upon the West. Including hyper important figures ---R.Reagan; M.Thatcher ,etc. The toughest leaders who toiled much to liquidate the USSR----and helped us .
The same in Croatia. President Reagan has been demonized and rediculed by the MSM still controlled by marxists. They can't forgive him his contribution in destroying the Communism. It was Reagan together with Pope John Paul II.
And Pope.John Paul II. He lost a best friend who was Jewish to the slaughter of Stalin. And his entire time as a seminarian was in hiding from the Nazis and then the Russians.
Three unique people who came together at a terrible time in history. They were human. They made mistakes. But they had a. dream of the inherent right of self.determination.
@ohmightywez hahahaaa I was about to write the same!
In 1985 my 4th grade teacher was going on vacation to Moscow, I asked him if he was worried about being taken hostage like on the news or beaten like in the movies.
He said it's a vibrant culture with wonderful people, the news and movies just made everything sound worse than it is. He made it back alive.
It is somewhat reassuring to know mass media is the same all over the world.
@@user-wm3bf7pi3u "mass media is the same all over the world" Lol!
The finest President we've ever had!
We didn't realize how good we had it when we had him. A true gentleman that didn't demand respect, he earned it. My favorite was when they asked him if he dyed his hair and he said "no, this is the color hair turns after you go grey".
Ah.... Ronald Reagan was so "Priceless....!!" What a Gem!! Ted Schempp, Nashville
My favorite;
"It is said that prostitution is the oldest profession.
Politics is the second oldest with many similarities to the first."
~President Ronald Reagan
It shouldn't be like that...the genes, the illnesses.
What different times those were. Back when America was still America. It's growing more and more unrecognizable with each passing month. God help us all.
Amen brother!
@@paulredinger5830 Sister. 😉
The G.O.A.T. of all Presidents. And I got to meet him in 1972 in San Diego when he was our Governor 🎉
The best joke was in the 1984 debate with Mondale when Reagan was asked if he was too old to be President.
I'm 72, born during Truman's presidency, although the first one that I remember at all was Eisenhower. Reagan never passed up an opportunity to tell a funny story, and got along with both sides of the aisle. Easily the best President during my lifetime.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we still had Presidents like Ronald Reagan!
and Obama. God Help Us if Trump wins the November election.
@@user-ld7kr7wo3x Is your god Satan?
😂😂😂😂😂@@lifted_above
@@lifted_above We know your god is an Orange Mammon in the shape of a calf
A man with principals and a good sense of humor.
School principals?
Here is an example of his Common sense that main media never talk about in 1982 Lebanon invasion he stopped military shipments to defense minister at the time Ariel Sharon to save civilian lives.
@@mohammadsalman57 Why don't you examine how he destroyed American Agriculture with his corporate policies.
@@georgepruitt637 Because he didn't duh.
@@georgepruitt637 We still seem to have lots of American Agriculture today... sorry, what was your point again? 😕I didn't agree with Mr. Reagan on everything, but I respected him and miss him and wish there were more like him today! Just saying.
It truly was morning in America under his watch
I love that Reagan hated communism, socialism and Marxism.
I was too young to appreciate Reagan when I had him. But seeing his affable jokes and also some of his very thoughtful discussions makes me wish for this type of president again.
I think it's odd how beloved Reagan is today. Back when he was president, lots of people detested him. I always liked him, myself. :)
I was a 10 year old when he became president. My dad loved him. They are inextricably linked in my head and heart. Dad died when I was 12. I can remember when the personal attacks began.
You are talking about Demmycats. Hate is their foremost emotion.
@@MichaelSheffield-ox8yd Says the compassionate Christian conservative who watches the bodies of women and children who died coming to this country.
People hated Washington and Lincoln too.
You can never please all the people all the time. If you can't take the heat, don't run for the office. I do miss Mr. Reagan, he was respectable even if you didn't agree with him.
A lovely man and president. He definitely was a man of true integrity.
He was the first amerikunt president to negotiate with terrorists... That's worked out well 👍
A great actor too!.
He was my Commander In Chief. Never doubted is vision for America, and we lacked for nothing in the armed forces.
I miss when the President told jokes instead of BEING a joke....
He was my first President (RR) when i came to the US $ 86.00 in my pocket..I am lucky to have done OK.
When I finally reached the age to vote, he was the one running for president . I voted for him.
I am reminded of a Greek political leader years ago being interviewed on "60 Minutes", where he joked he came to America long before with a few dollars in his pocket and spent it on drinks as soon as he arrived.
Your first president was Roy Rogers? 😂
My father and I loved him as our President🇺🇸
People of Dublin, I love you so much! ❤😂 My happy people!😊❤
I miss my boyhood when we had a President who told jokes and was not the joke.
Same, but I'm too young to remember Ford or Carter.🤣
@@user-wm3bf7pi3u So, I see I hit a nerve with someone who is a product of our left wing education (indoctrination) system or someone who is old enough to remember how wonderful the 1980’s (after the early 1980’s recession that was largely the product of the late Nixon through the early Carter years were). And I give Carter more of a break than most because he did start the military buildup that was necessary. In addition, he knew at least a little bit about economics (unlike the clown Ted Kennedy) and realized if you expand the government endlessly and start idiotic “social programs” you will need to pay for it and you cannot just print money (like the moronic administration we have now I suspect you’re a fan of) or you will have massive inflation. That is precisely what we had by the Carter years. Carter is to blame for some of that (also to be fair).
So do us all a favor and learn some actual fact based history and some economics. Voting should not be a “popularity contest” because all our fates rely on it. I am not so much interested in rhetoric as I am results. Therefore, I am an ex-democrat. Studying economics (and not the economics of Paul Krugman with his awful track record) is the best antidote to the modern Democratic Party. Nonetheless, I will let you get back to being a low information voter or a brainwashed millenilal.
@@iknowuare4716 Also I went to Catholic school, I think the dove on the stained glass of the church next to the school had the left wing heavily obscured.
agreed. trump was a joke.
@@JP-vs1ys I have an old fashioned way of judging presidents - RESULTS. Trump presided over a very good economy, low inflation, and a stable foreign policy scene including getting us involved in NO new conflicts. That is unlike 👎 “some” people. You are probably someone who believes RussiaGate, that paper ballots are antiquated, an open border is a good idea, and any ideas that “sounds” good does good (which is nonsense). I wish there was a way to stop economically ignorant, low information voters from voting. Do us all a favor and do not vote based on your damn “feelings” because national elections should not be popularity contests but sound policy. I don’t give a flying rat’s a** about “mean” tweets or rhetoric. I care about results. You know what made me a former Democrat - studying economics and the history of certain policies. DO THE SAME and be intellectually honest. It’s quite liberating. The real threat to democracy (not to mention this nation’s welfare) are misinformed or uninformed people voting their “feelings” and for whatever “sounds” good whether or not it really does good. While people such as this are the real “joke”, they aren’t funny. The success and prosperity of the nation is on the line.
Awesome..... USA, USA, USA....... FJB 💕😺😺 😺 and 🐕🐕 💕 FJB 💕 Thank you for this post !
What an unbelievable sense of humor!
His remarkable gift of self-effacing humor always effectively disarmed his rivals.
A great president who never fails to lighten the mood with laughter…….👍
Gosh that wS5fun and refreshing. I know that none of us are perfect but there was a time when life was more pure, wholesome and sincere.
8:30 That top down joke was originally told as a dumb blond joke where she called AAA for help and told them to hurry because it was about to rain.
I don't care who you are, ya gotta admit the man is Legend. Moreover, the man Loved my U.S.A. far more than any of our current crop of greedy, corrupt bureaucrats.
I'm a Regan days republican and stationed in Germany when the wall came down. He wasn't perfect but a great American.
I served in the Marines under President Reagan and we haven't had a president of his quality since then. Wonderful man.
I love this guy, wept the day he passed. We could use a little RR in today's political world! ❤❤❤
Unique. ❤
His jokes were his strength
It’s a video of jokes. But as usual there’s always some simple minded person who can’t let it be just that. Bless your heart child, bless your heart.
@@woodrowcall3269 I think I just read something from a simple minded child...
The best President of my lifetime & the funniest!
Enjoyed each and every one of them!!!😂
Why isn't this man's face
on Mount Rushmore?
You are so right!
He might belong on the back side of Mount Rushmore as Lincoln’s patutti.
One of his best lines came during his debate with Mondale.
Ahhhhaaaaa he was so funny...I always liked him..good President
Great man. Sharp. Funny. Did. Good job as president.
I miss the Gipper....We NEED him now, more than ever. God Bless this TRUE, PATRIOTIC MAN!!
Reagans best joke was the one he told at Bitburg. It was so good that the Ramones wrote a song about it
Reagan is my favorite president. The Ramones are my favorite rock band.
@@AnyWayICan So do you love or hate ' Bonzo Goes To Bitburg ' ?
Thanks for posting.
President Reagan, we miss you!
Airplane joke is a classic
I was just remembering when he was shot - I was in college working on campus and someone came and told me about it. I went on break to a room where they had a TV on and folks were in there watching. Read in a book later about it that he almost died. Even after that, in the hospital, he was joking, saying before they put him under to do surgery, "I hope you're all Republicans". The surgeon answered, "Mr. President, today we are all Republicans". I was glad to vote for him both times.
We really need him now!!!!
I sure miss this guy.
Simpler times.
So much love for him in my memories forever RIP Mr. President
It is a requirement that you laugh at a Presidents jokes whether they are funny or not. Side note, I was named after Ronald Reagan. When I was born, he was one of the best actors in Hollywood. One of the best presidents in history.
I miss Ronald Reagan, hearing his voice brings me back to childhood
Even though I didn't make much per hour then, I still lived better during that time than any other time in my life. I was also less stressed then also....those times are gone for good...shame.
Didn’t care much for most of his policies, but he was an eloquent speaker
Just the very best when the world was so much better due to leaders like him it’s been a blessing to have been on earth with him Ron
Awesome !!!!
It's true, after hearing these jokes I did the splits.
Dear man
Im English, Irish and Scotch also
But was taught to refer to myself as
English, Irish and Scottish. I think it might have had to do with distancing from the beverage 😊
I think that was intentional he was making a joke.
God broke the mould when he made Ronald Reagan. A genius, and America's best president.
Except he single-handedly led to today's $30 Trillion federal debt.
@@jimmiller5600Obama doubled the debt single-handedly. To blame Reagan for all $30 trillion is a giant lie.
@@danjohnson8556 1) Bushie handed Obama a MINUS 8% GDP economy. You try it. And he didn't double the debt. 2) Reagan, plus Bushie and Trump cut taxes on the rich while increasing spending. And are you ESL? How is "doubling" the same as "for all $30 billion"?
The last President I truly respected, a man I felt proud to server under as commander and chief!
He told good jokes
A truly great man, sorely missed. Love you Ron
What ever happened to president Ms with a personality and not just plain mean???
One. Of. The. Best. Presidents...... Certainly the. Most. LOVED ONE.
Who loved him? What about him did they love?
His sense of humor. His generosity to his opponents. (th-cam.com/video/H3w_rsGmPAw/w-d-xo.html) His success in winning the Cold War. His success to defeating inflation. (The year he was elected, the inflation rate was 13.1%. The year he was elected and by 1986 he brought it to 1.1%.
@@OeditpusRex He was an actor. The sheep fell for the act. He didn't fix the economy, he tripled the debt. He put us on a downward track we will never recover from.
Washinton was the most love , ron is a close though
@@mrsatire9475 HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW Any more lies you have to tell us?
He was always a good script reader reading someone else's words.
Even got people to think "trickle down economics"
Was not designed to sqeeze the middle class like a tube of toothpaste.
He was a two-faced so-called Union president
That worked for the defense industry for decades
Funny, the middle class saw the opposite and that's why he was voted in record numbers in 1984 to nobody's surprise. Reality sucks dunnit?
Splits? Seriously? Leave us in "stitches", perhaps, or make us "split our sides."
I think President Reagan was one of the greatest Presidents of all time!
I think we could use one like him running our country now!
@kevinberniebarron7548 - So true. I grew up in the '80s. I remembered the Iranian hostages crisis. When President Reagan got elected, the next days the hostages were released. We need definitely someone like President Reagan in the White House now. Unlike Joey Biden who is the laughing stocks of the world and can not even read from a teleprompter. How sad? Joe does not know when to quit. Joe lied all his life and spent his whole career in politics.
If your a fascist I guess so!
Yeah, but I’ll settle for Trump.
Yea ronny double my tax rate and tripled my property taxes!
@@jaybee9269 I agree! It's going to be interesting!
I loved him. Was so sad when he got ill and then passed. His wife Nancy was so broken. He was my favorite president
i think all conflicts between nation leaders should be resolved either by a) dance-off b) stand up comedy c) rock paper scissors d) best of 3 of the previous options! of course that's assuming they're all polyglots... oh nvm..
I love him. He's so funny and charming! And one of the greatest leaders this world has seen. How far we have fallen - the left will be the end of this country..
You should watch his farewell address. He left a stark warning, which warned about exactly what the republican party is doing today. But, the will to self-educate and better understand what is actually happening in the country is a rare attribute. His brand of republicanism and the brand of Republicans today couldn't be further from each other.
When Trump "joked" about injecting bleach he told the "joke" so badly people took him seriously and died.
@@ColinWatters That was a fake news story only idiots thought was real.
@@ColinWatters If you believe that story, you believe anything.
@@bigverybadtom Which bit of the story? Trump said "..I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that.." The medical people in the room were clearly horrified.
I miss Ronnie. It makes me cringe to think of the POTUS we have now.
I think my favorite Ronald Reagan joke is the one about the three-legged chicken.
Brilliant 😂
Poney!😂True! There must be a pony! ❤
The one about the Russians and the curfew law made me laugh!
Well, good joke and the art of delegation are two things Reagan always reminds me of!
A true leader. We need one very badly again.
God it would be so nice to have a president who could not only speak but tell jokes and lighten the mood
During Reagan’s terms as President the media often asserted he must be dying his hair. One evening Johnny Carson said he recently had been talking to Reagan’s barber. He figured it was the perfect opportunity to get the truth. When asked the barber said, Reagan doesn’t dye his hair, he bleaches his face.
We so desperately need him now!
Ronnie Reagan was certainly a different character to what the USA has now.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Extremely Good 😊
Makes me bawl thinking about we have up for election this year...
Told a good joke did Reagan !!😂
Reagan roasting the shit out of everyone for 18 minutes
We need a President as classy as Reagan again!
