Enough to break the ice.
The joke “How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice” is a clever play on the phrase “breaking the ice,” which is commonly used to describe initiating a conversation or easing social tension. In the joke, the question about the polar bear’s weight serves as an actual icebreaker, both literally and figuratively. Polar bears are heavy animals that live in Arctic regions, often walking on ice, so the idea that they could “break the ice” is plausible. However, the punchline “Enough to break the ice” is not really about the bear’s weight but about making a memorable, humorous introduction. The humor arises from this double meaning.
