If You Understand These Puns, Congrats! You Are The Father!
Orange you glad I said it? Puns are here, there, and everywhere. It'll take one person (usually a dad) to point out the obviousness behind any pun. No matter how ridiculous or cheesy they sound, we secretly love at least one pun that we've heard before. They usually come with a reaction that will make you grin, or maybe, it could be an eye-roller like treating AA batteries like a very serious meeting for certain people. With these particular puns, you'll either love them or hate them altogether.
TRYangles Are Cool Too
Ugh, a math pun in a fortune cookie. As clever as this is, it's rather cheesy. You would never expect to see a pun inside of the popular Chinese treat, but really, how is a fortune supposed to be meaningful? Sometimes, I wish you would get one that says "You won $1 million."
Hey, all you math geeks will really enjoy this one. "I was attacked by a geometric shape!!! It was a vicious circle!"
Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot
Shingles feel the heat too, okay?! Not just the basketball team from Miami, but every single shingle. It's billboards like this that should make the average person embrace clever advertisements. It's a form of puns that might be cheesy, but this company played this off very nicely.
Speaking of roofs, have you heard that new song about women who work in the roofing industry? It's called "Shingle Ladies." We know, big groan.
Peter, You Know Who
Come on, man, you should have an idea who this is joke is referring to. I won't say anything because the name "Peter" inside the cooking necessity should give this one away. I'll leave you with just one hint... he refuses to grow up.
Did you get it yet? If you guessed Peter Pun, you're wrong. Although that's a pretty good name. And why is Peter Pan always flying? Because he neverlands.
Highlight
So, how was your day? Well, based on this piece of paper, this sums it up altogether. This person probably had a bad case of the Monday blues. At least it saves them the time and energy of actually spilling the beans about their long day, especially during the slowest day of the work week.
If the highlight of your day is ever taking notes in a boring class, you have our permission to treat yourself to something nice that evening. Life shouldn't be this dull.
If Dad Was Tripping
Dads are the kings of puns. Clearly, this father/chemistry teacher is "tripping" on acid. Long ago are the days when this father would relax by listening to the Beatles' psychedelic tunes, so he has to do it in the lab.
It's all done in fun though, it's not like he's actually going to fall over and have a trip and a half on the floor. At least, we hope not.
French KISS
Rock on! That's such a great way to embrace a love for France and your parent's favorite band, KISS. This is extremely corny, but this is pure gold and quite the Halloween costume for the whole family to participate in together.
In case you didn't catch it, the face paint is from the iconic members of the band KISS, and the berets, neck scarves, and loaves of bread are all "French."
Coding Tattoo
It must have been a pain in the head/body connector to get this tattoo. This girl has more courage than I do since she got ink on her skin. But, you shouldn't have to envy her. The tattoo she got is really weird and out of the ordinary, although she might be trying to start a new trend among fellow coders.
You know someone is hardcore when they get an HTML tattoo.
Ain't Nobody Got Thyme For That
Talk about seasonings changing like no tomorrow. With so many herbs, there is so little thyme to buy more of this. Whoever bought this should buy another one for a good reason. Maybe someone else could improve their thyme management while shopping for groceries.
Roger loves cooking, but sadly for him, his dishes taste awful nine thymes out of ten. I guess these puns are kinda vanilla, but they're just going to keep cumin.
If You Can Dodge A Wrench, You Can Dodge A Ball
If you've seen the movie Dodgeball or have ever played the game in gym class, you'll get the reference. In fact, looking at this will instantly make you think about the movie. All that's missing is Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller.
This looks just like the font that the Dodge car company uses. If it was intentional, it was really clever to put their logo on red playground balls like this. Because everyone knows that you just can't beat a pun.
Sherlock Has A Cousin
It turns out that Surelock will change your door locks while his cousin solves crimes. Imagine if they were a three-man group along with Dr. John Watson? That would make such an interesting movie to watch and they'd be unstoppable as a team.
Sherlock "Homes" would also be a great name for a real estate company. And hey, here's another punny one. "What did the locksmith say to his cardiac surgeon? You hold the key to my heart."
AA Meeting
As crude as this looks, that's a rather dark and unique joke. They probably joined together to see who's going to be chosen as the next pair of batteries to be used for the all-important TV remote.
If you're super into battery stuff, and who isn't, you might like this one. "What did the Lithium ion battery say to the Zinc-Carbon battery? You only live once." You're completely forgiven if that one went over your head.
Guess Who?
Here's a really obvious hint: "I'm Batman!" If that's not enough, and you don't know it with the cross and bale of hay, than you're probably never going to get it.
It's actor Christian Bale. It's clever photos like this that should help you have an understanding of what puns are all about. Just ahead, one person shows off their 'Psycho Killer' by the Talking Heads with boxes of cereal.
Pumpkin Pi
It's pi in a pumpkin! Remember when your math teacher drilled this crap into our heads? Then, we asked ourselves if this was going to be a benefit in our daily lives. Well, here we are now, with a way to use pi in the form of a pumpkin in time for Halloween.
And a question for you serious pun-lovers. "What's the ratio of a pumpkin's circumference to its diameter? Pumpkin pi."
3D Reality
3D printing is all the rage right now. People are making such amazing creations and we've seen things like homes and even food being 3d printed. Ask around... I mean, who even has a conventional printer anymore? 3D printing is the future, but give it to this guy for throwing it back to 1999.
My friend told me that he can print a rifle using his 3D printer, but I wasn't impressed. After all, I’ve had a Canon printer for years.
Nice Pair You Got There
I dare somebody to walk around wearing these for a day. The challenge? They have to make sure a flock of birds won't attack them. If they survive, that person is immediately entitled to $100 and a case of beer.
If they lose, just watch from a distance and laugh hysterically as they're being attacked by birds. Hopefully birds that don't have sharp beaks. Actually, let's just pretend this dare never happened.
Barney Stinson's Favorite
Man, Barney Stinson would be over the moon. It's rather funny how Stinson himself never did something like this on How I Met Your Mother. Either way, this is one awesome tribute to the man behind the Brobible. Hopefully, no one is lactose for the second part of the pun.
In case you didn't get it, or didn't watch the show, the photo is depicting: "I hope your day is... legend-dairy."
Ice, Ice Baby
There is too much vanilla and ice in this. The baby is the best part about it since it's a reference to the hit song from 1990. You would expect this to be a baby sitting in a tube of ice wearing layers of clothing. But, we can settle for this cute visual pun for now.
Anyone else remember the lyrics? All right stop, collaborate and listen! Ice is back with my brand new invention... and so on.
Pi-rats Of The Caribbean
That is one fine line between a numerator and a denominator. Meanwhile, only a fraction of people, mostly math teachers, will have an understanding of this joke. It's smart, genius and a great way to educate your students.
If you want to up your nerdiness game, then you're at the right place. Here's another pi pun you can share with your friends. "In Alaska, where temperatures get below freezing, pi is only 3.00. You know, everything shrinks in the cold."
A Genre Of Music
Punk rock rules! Whoever did this clearly has a great sense of humor and is a pro at using puns. It's one of the easiest ones on this list. Puns are a hit or miss with people, but the simplest ones like this should be a sign that puns can be fun for everyone.
Fans of punk music will like this one. "Where did Sid Vicious like to read books? In a punk rocker."
Marry This Man
Michael is setting too high of a bar for any of us to reach. Dating can be hard enough, but what chance do any of us have when the Michaels of the world have this type of charm? This joke could have easily been a lemon, but Michael's smile is really what sold it.
In fact, "lime falling in love" right about now. Drop me a lime sometime, Michael. Pretty please?
Just A Tad Predictable
Or is it 'tide' predictable? Honestly, there's nothing more frustrating than when you're shopping and someone's messed with the products to the point where you have no idea where anything is. It's a good thing Tide is so recognizable. Tide is love. Tide is life.
Now, we all have the Tide Pod Challenge to laugh about. That laundry detergent has been entertaining people for decades! Thanks for the memories, Tide.
When Your Midlife Crisis Hits
There comes the point in a person's life when they hit their midlife crisis and start buying unnecessary stuff to recapture their youth.
It usually comes around the time when your body finally gives up on you, your waistband expands, and your innie becomes an Audi. Hey, at least this person is able to laugh about their midlife crisis. Better than drinking a bottle of wine and scrolling through your high school's alumni Facebook page every night.
At Least The Dog's Not Out
Life is hard on social media when you're a dad. Either you're posting inappropriate comments on your daughter's friends prom pictures, or you're making terrible dad jokes on every photo your other children upload.
There really is no in-between, which is why you should probably keep your interactions to strictly "Happy Birthday" messages. Otherwise, you really only have yourself to blame when everyone you know has unfriended or blocked you.
Best Way To Never Be Invited Over Again
For anyone who has ever clogged the toilet at a friend's house, there really is no greater fear than that it will happen again. No one can live through that shame more than once in life.
You're in an unfamiliar environment, and these people aren't your family, so there's no way to simply laugh it off. The only logical decision is to cut yourself off from this person immediately and start a new life.
I Feel She's Heard This One Before
If Tinder has taught us anything (and it hasn't) it's that people will do anything possible to use your name in some kind of clever wordplay.
If your name is Eve, prepare for some sort of apple innuendo. If you're Justin, get ready for everyone to be 'Justin' time to meet you. It's honestly the worst. Wait, no. We found the worst pun name ever. It's... Dinah Mite. You're welcome.
And I'm Still Being Paid Minimum Wage
It's always good to see those hardworking people in their chosen profession finally getting the respect they deserve. This guy put in those long hours in the field, and while he probably felt underappreciated, this supermarket rewarded his efforts. He's now gone corporate and his 401K is in fantastic shape.
Seriously though, we hope someone pointed the meme out to the store owners or whoever set up this amazing display.
Cereal Killer
This man is showing off what it means to be a part of a balanced breakfast. Not only that, but he's providing Talking Heads fans with a simple reminder of one of their best singles, "Psycho Killer."
You know, it's actually a little bit weird that there are so many puns about something as terrible as serial killers. Homophones just make it too easy for clever people like this guy!
Just Leave A Note In Here
Few things come together as perfectly as this bit of clever wordplay. Homonyms, words that have the same pronunciation, make for some of the best puns around. The words just leap off the tongue. We really hope that this box is located in a music hall of some sort.
Every workplace needs a good suggestion box to ensure that passive-aggressive comments can be filed away anonymously, and this place really nailed it.
Shhhhhh
Plenty of us have a few secrets we don't plan on sharing with anyone, but it's hard to literally take those secrets and pack them away.
This person stumbled upon all the secrets his wife was hiding from him, and now he has to start questioning every facet of their relationship. Hey, this is still way better than opening up Pandora's box. That one was filled with misery and evil, not secrets.
You Can Spend An Entire Life Dreaming For This Moment
When you work in the news, the headline is the most important part of the story. If you don't catch the audience's attention, it doesn't really matter what else happens.
Whoever was working the prompter this day clearly saw their chance and took it, and we're here for them. We actually wonder if they had the headline written up years ago and were just waiting for the chance to use it.
And I'm Still Single
You know that your life is in shambles when you get jealous of a toilet having a better love life than you. In an age where everyone's social media feed is flooded with engagement, weddings, babies, and divorces, it's good to know that literally anyone can make it in this world, and so can you!
Even so, it's also good to remember to be happy when others have nice things happen to them.
When You Like Spicy Food A Little On The Bland Side
Thai food isn't for everyone. It can be incredibly spicy, and if you can't handle spice, it doesn't exactly taste great with milk. This guy still wanted to fit in with his trendy coworkers, so he did his best to buy into the Thai food trend. It's an expensive diet either way.
We can't help but think that maybe he could have tried a little harder when he set up this scene. Some mood lighting would have been good, or a nice teapot to set the stage.
The First Thing You Look For In Healthcare Is A Good Sense Of Humor
We tend to treat our pets like they're members of the family, but how many doctors would you trust when their marketing campaign is full of puns?
This might be a great way to get a few more eyeballs on your business, but if the deciding factor is puns vs no puns, you need to sort out your priorities. Then again, laughter is (supposedly) the best medicine... so do whatever feels right to you, healthcare-wise.
Hello... Hello...
There are quite a few factors that go into purchasing a car. Sometimes it's the cost of gas. Sometimes it's the mileage. And sometimes, it's the fact that you can make a simple joke that makes you smile each and every day.
This dad will never lose his car in a parking lot ever again, because no one is brave enough to drive with this joke on the back of their car.
A Pun With A Purpose
While most puns are used to get an easy laugh and an overbearing eyeroll, this person used the power of the pun to make a really good point.
We waste tons of nonrenewable resources each and every day, and it's destroying our planet. It's time to look to the windmills, people! Speaking of wind, have you heard this one? What is a gust of wind's favorite color? Blew. Of course it's blew.
John Wooden Would Be Proud
While clever wordplay may not sell in the world of healthcare, it's an absolute must when it comes to general labor or household repairs.
You're not going to generate any new business if your van says "Frank's Hauling Wood." Ok, maybe that's a bad example, but you get the idea. "Wooden it be nice" is just the right amount of "punny" for a carpentry business. And they have the email address to match.
His Face Says It All
If you've ever filed a TPS report, you know how difficult it can be to get through a Monday. The last thing you need is Tina from accounting mentioning that you may have a case of the Mondays.
We get it Tina, but it's more about the fact that you're trying to get us to buy your daughter's Girl Scout cookies, not the actual day of the week. Leave us alone with our TPS reports, please.
Classic Caesar
I think we can all agree that the best way to recognize those leaders that came before us is to name our most delicious sauces after them. However, not everyone loves caesar dressing, and one person took matters into their own hands to recreate an iconic moment in history.
Of course, Julius Caesar might not find this gag quite as funny as the rest of us. Or maybe he's over the whole thing by now... who knows.
Just A Little Sprinkle
I don't blame whoever made this sign. I mean, do we even have spring anymore? It feels like winter lasts 572 days before we get maybe a long weekend's worth of spring. Then it's summer for a couple of months before we're back in our snow pants.
Beyond an abnormal excitement regarding the seasonal change, you just have to appreciate potty humor in all shapes and sizes. We're surprised there wasn't something about "soiling their pants" too.
I'm Sold
Honestly, you had me at "stool sample." When all you do is sell furniture, it might be a wise idea to go to great lengths to put your name out there and get it noticed.
With our culture being so focused on living a healthy and active lifestyle, this company was able to take advantage of the over 40 crowd who have disposable income and are actively checking their stools.
