How to respond to a bad joke?

[Mosachu]

what is a good way to respond to a bad joke without seeming like an asshole? my friend tells me all these lame jokes, and I don't know how to react to them

dont respond to a lame joke, its not funny so its not funny, when people are trying to be funny and they see that the other person didn't like the joke, their ego is deflated so to avoid that hapening again they won't tell that person any jokes in the future.

Sometimes being blunt is the best way. Don't make a big deal out of it and be casual. Just say "Dude that was lame" the next time he tells a dumb joke. Especially if another person would make fun of him for it. It's one thing you pointing out that the joke isn't funny it's a completely different thing when a complete stranger will make him feel like an ass.

just ask him/her very nicely to stop tell thoughts jokes tell him/her they have used them to many times. and if that dosen't work just tell the flat out ther horrible being blunt is like a last resort though. hope this helps.
