What do you give a sick bird?
This joke is a pun that plays on the similarity in sound between "parrot" and "paracetamol," which is a common pain reliever and fever reducer (known as acetaminophen in the United States and commonly by the brand name Tylenol).

This joke is a pun that plays on the similarity in sound between “parrot” and “paracetamol,” which is a common pain reliever and fever reducer (known as acetaminophen in the United States and commonly by the brand name Tylenol). The humor arises from the image of giving medicine to a sick bird, with the medicine being humorously tailored to the bird itself (a parrot). It’s a light-hearted play on words that combines animal humor with medical humor, creating a whimsical idea of specialized avian healthcare.
See lessDid you hear the joke about the broken glass?
This joke is a play on the phrase "not all it's cracked up to be," which means something is not as good as people have claimed it to be. The humor comes from the literal use of the word "cracked" in relation to glass. When glass is broken, it cracks, so the joke is making a pun by combining the liteRead more
This joke is a play on the phrase “not all it’s cracked up to be,” which means something is not as good as people have claimed it to be. The humor comes from the literal use of the word “cracked” in relation to glass. When glass is broken, it cracks, so the joke is making a pun by combining the literal cracking of glass with the idiomatic expression. It’s a simple wordplay joke that relies on the double meaning of “cracked” – both as a physical break in the glass and as part of the idiom describing disappointment.

This joke plays on the concepts of identity and wordplay. "Trans" is a prefix meaning "across" or "beyond," and it's commonly used in terms like "transgender," referring to a person whose gender identity does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. The joke combines "trans" with the word "sleRead more
This joke plays on the concepts of identity and wordplay. “Trans” is a prefix meaning “across” or “beyond,” and it’s commonly used in terms like “transgender,” referring to a person whose gender identity does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. The joke combines “trans” with the word “slender” to create the term “trans slender,” which humorously suggests that one could cross over to being slender simply by identifying as such, despite physical reality.

The joke here is a play on words involving the term "tenants," which normally refers to people who rent a place to live. The humor comes from the storyteller observing ten ants (which sounds like "tenants") and then building them a house, which leads to a pun where the ants are humorously referred tRead more
The joke here is a play on words involving the term “tenants,” which normally refers to people who rent a place to live. The humor comes from the storyteller observing ten ants (which sounds like “tenants”) and then building them a house, which leads to a pun where the ants are humorously referred to as “tenants” in the literal sense of living in a property he owns. The joke relies on the homophonic relationship between the words “ten ants” and “tenants,” creating a double meaning that results in a humorous twist.
See lessWhat is a pumpkin's favorite sport?
The joke "What is a pumpkin's favorite sport? Squash." is a pun that plays on the double meaning of the word "squash." Squash is both a type of sport played with rackets and a ball in a closed court, and a category of vegetables that includes pumpkins. The humor arises from the literal interpretatioRead more
The joke “What is a pumpkin’s favorite sport? Squash.” is a pun that plays on the double meaning of the word “squash.” Squash is both a type of sport played with rackets and a ball in a closed court, and a category of vegetables that includes pumpkins. The humor arises from the literal interpretation of a pumpkin having preferences, which is an absurd anthropomorphism, as pumpkins are inanimate and cannot have favorite sports. The punchline is unexpected because the setup leads the listener to think about sports in general, not a word that is also the name of a sport and a vegetable group.
See lessWhy did they let the turkey join the band?
This joke is a play on words involving the term "drumsticks." In one context, drumsticks are the tools used by a drummer to play drums. In another context, drumsticks refer to the lower part of a turkey's legs, which are also commonly eaten as a food item. The humor arises from the double meaning ofRead more
This joke is a play on words involving the term “drumsticks.” In one context, drumsticks are the tools used by a drummer to play drums. In another context, drumsticks refer to the lower part of a turkey’s legs, which are also commonly eaten as a food item. The humor arises from the double meaning of the word and the absurdity of imagining a turkey as a member of a band, equipped not with musical instruments, but with its own limbs which coincidentally share a name with a musical tool. The joke is a typical example of pun-based humor.
See lessWhat sound does a turkey's phone make?
The joke plays on the double meaning of the word "wing." In one sense, "wing" is a part of the turkey's anatomy, and in another, it sounds like the old-fashioned ring of a telephone. The punchline "Wing! Wing!" suggests that instead of a phone saying "Ring! Ring!" when it rings, a turkey's phone wouRead more
The joke plays on the double meaning of the word “wing.” In one sense, “wing” is a part of the turkey’s anatomy, and in another, it sounds like the old-fashioned ring of a telephone. The punchline “Wing! Wing!” suggests that instead of a phone saying “Ring! Ring!” when it rings, a turkey’s phone would make a sound that references its own body part, thus “Wing! Wing!” It’s a simple play on words that creates a humorous mental image of a turkey having a phone and that phone making a turkey-appropriate noise.
See lessHow do you cook a turkey?
This humorous set of instructions is a parody of a typical recipe, but it comically focuses on the consumption of whisky rather than the actual preparation of the turkey. The joke is that as the cook consumes more alcohol, their ability to follow the cooking process deteriorates. The steps become inRead more
This humorous set of instructions is a parody of a typical recipe, but it comically focuses on the consumption of whisky rather than the actual preparation of the turkey. The joke is that as the cook consumes more alcohol, their ability to follow the cooking process deteriorates. The steps become increasingly nonsensical and jumbled, with words like “whisky” and “turkey” getting mixed up (“whisky another bottle of get” instead of “get another bottle of whisky”), indicating the cook’s growing inebriation. The humor also comes from the absurdity of the actions described, such as “take the oven out of the turkey” instead of taking the turkey out of the oven, and the final step where the cook is supposed to “bless the saying, pass and eat out,” which is a muddled version of saying grace and eating the meal. It’s a playful reminder of how alcohol can impair one’s ability to perform tasks, in this case, cooking a holiday meal.

This joke is a play on words involving the names of two different types of berries and the concept of emotions. Normally, “blue” is a term used to describe a feeling of sadness or depression. The joke takes the word “blueberry,” which is actually the name of a fruit, and uses it to answer the question about a “sad cranberry,” suggesting that if a cranberry were sad, it would be “blue,” just like the name of the fruit “blueberry.” The humor comes from the unexpected connection between the emotion implied by the color “blue” and the actual name of a different berry. It’s a simple pun that plays on the double meaning of the word “blue.”
See lessWhat is The Crown's bear joke?
This joke plays on the expectation of a typical hunting story and subverts it with an unexpected and inappropriate punchline.

This joke plays on the expectation of a typical hunting story and subverts it with an unexpected and inappropriate punchline. The hunter’s repeated attempts to shoot the bear and the bear’s repeated confrontations create a pattern that the audience expects will lead to a final showdown. However, the punchline suggests that the hunter’s true motivation might not be hunting at all, given that he keeps ending up in a compromising position with the bear. The humor is derived from the absurdity and the implication that the hunter might have ulterior motives for returning, despite the painful outcomes of his previous encounters.
