Our culture is desperate for more bad jokes, but traditional methods just can't keep up, see chart below.

Bad Joke Bot solves this deficit by creating jokes based on a noun specified by the user (you!). These jokes have been made from scratch by Bad Joke Bot and the Datamuse API. It also has a user rating system to help increase the chances of getting a good joke.

Bad Joke Bot runs on AWS Lex, backend is Lambda on Node.js 6.10, jokes are stored and recalled with DynamoDB and bug reports are stored to S3.
