What do you call a sad cup of coffee?
A depresso.
Why This Joke Works
"Depresso" blends "depressed" with "espresso" — the strong coffee drink. A depressed espresso is a depresso. The portmanteau is so smooth it sounds like it should already be on a coffee shop menu. It's the most caffeinated mental health joke in the dad joke canon.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Ask the setup while holding or gesturing toward a coffee cup. Say "depresso" with an Italian barista accent and a sad face. Chef's kiss.
Perfect for:
- •morning coffee runs when someone looks tired and glum
- •coffee shop visits when you're ordering espresso
- •Monday mornings when the whole office needs caffeine therapy
