The Radio Yerevan jokes, also known as the Armenian Radio jokes, have been popular in the Soviet Union and other countries of the former Communist Eastern bloc since the second half of the 20th century. These jokes of the Q&A type pretended to come from the Question & Answer series of the Armenian Radio. A typical format of a joke was: "Radio Yerevan was asked," and "Radio Yerevan answered."

Examples of Radio Yerevan jokes include:

  • The Armenian Radio was asked: "Is it good to sleep with an open window?"
  • The Armenian Radio answered: "Yes, but with a woman it is better."
  • The Armenian Radio was asked: "Is it true that the poet Mayakovsky shot himself?"
  • The Armenian Radio answered: "Yes, it is true, because his last words were Don't shoot, comrades!"
  • Radio Yerevan was asked: "Could an atomic bomb destroy the beautiful city of Yerevan?"
  • Radio Yerevan answered: "In principle, yes. But Moscow is by far a more beautiful city."
  • Radio Yerevan was asked: Is everything OK in Armenia with meat?
  • Radio Yerevan answered: Yes, everything is OK with meat, but it is awfully bad without.
