How can I make a joke at my colleague's expense without getting in trouble for it?
user
You could always just tell a friend who also works with your colleague about what your colleague said or did and then make a humorous aside like, "It reminds me of the time ____!" that way you won't directly refer to the incident or joke about it at work and risk getting in trouble for it.

The best way to make a joke at your colleague's expense without getting in trouble is to do it in a joking manner that makes it clear that you are kidding. Avoid singling out any specific person, and focus on making general observations. This can be done by telling stories or sharing anecdotes about a commonly experienced problem, then tying the lesson back to your colleague in some funny way. You can also join forces with other people and make fun of each other together as a group so that no one feels excluded or targeted individually. Another option is start subtly teasing your colleagues by slipping hilarious comments into ordinary conversations — this requires more practice and tact than direct jokes, but can be very effective.
