Jokebook was an animated anthology series produced by Hanna-Barbera for NBC primetime in 1982. As Jokebook consisted of various animated shorts from around the world, along with various animated comedy sketches produced in-house, it was the only Hanna-Barbera series not to have any recurring characters. Seven half-hour episodes were produced, but only three were broadcast.
