funny puns

There will be no long lesson on what a pun is. You already know. It is a joke that makes one person laugh and everyone else ask, “Did you really just say that?”

Pick a section below or start with my favorites. The puns are short, easy to read, and ready to copy into a card, post, lunchbox note, or group chat. Use them wisely. Or do what I do and use them whenever nobody can escape.

Food puns served fresh

These puns are not part of a balanced meal. They are the reason the meal is fun.

Animal puns from the wild side

No animals were bothered during the making of these jokes. A few rolled their eyes.

Love puns with a soft center

Romance is serious business. That is why it needs silly jokes.

Perfect for the card you remembered five minutes before the party.

Browse the Jermaine Pleas pun collection

This page is the front door. Every new pun collection will live in its own room, because throwing cheese jokes, cat jokes, love jokes, and office jokes into one giant pile would be a real zoo at lunch during a meeting.

Come back when you need another laugh

I will keep adding new pun collections as fast as the words misbehave. Save this page for the next birthday, caption, school lunch, awkward silence, or family member who says, “Tell me something funny.”
