To win this contest, jokesters will need to make T-Pain laugh out loud.

“I’ll be looking for clever jokes that make me laugh out loud and will be judging the winning joke based on humor, originality and creativity,” T-Pain said. “I’m ready for a lot of laughs as I go through these submissions and can’t wait to find out whose joke will stand out!”

The good news is that he laughs very easily.

“I like to have fun and, to be honest, it’s not hard to make me laugh,” he said. “A good pun tends to do the trick — my family loves those. Or often it’s just a really funny story or silly experience or memory I’ve shared with friends or family that we like to talk about. Those are the best.”

As a judge, though, he said he’s most looking forward to reading the jokes.

“I love when people get to leverage their creativity in a fun way. I know there are going to be some really funny ones,” he said.
