Comical Corner or Comical Corners is an unincorporated community located within Pemberton Township in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[2][3][4] The site of the actual corners is at the intersection of Pemberton Road (County Route 630) and Arneys Mount Road (CR 668). The original name may have been "Conical Corner" based on the cone-like shape of the skewed intersection but had turned to "Comical Corner" based on a mishearing.[5] The area, located just to the north of Pemberton Borough, is mostly rural and is surrounded by farmland on the two obtuse sides of the intersection.[6]

According to , Comical Corners may have derived its name from 'conical corner,' referring to the cone shape of the junction. 'It doesn't appear on any map as Conical Corners . . . so the origins of that name are obscure at best,' said Pernot.
