95+ Amazingly Funny Bad Puns To Share With Your Kids

Puns are ubiquitous (whether we like it or not) — and while hilarious puns are complex linguistic feats that demand respect, bad puns are dangerously easy to make (and can also be surprisingly funny). Like the knock-knock joke, the funny riddle, the one-liner, or the wonderfully dumb jokes that play on through the generations like broken records, the pun leans hard on wordplay and silliness to win over even the toughest audiences. Even though fathers who can’t stop making dad jokes like to think they’re members of an elite humor squad, a love of corny jokes is universal. What is a pun, really? Simply put, a pun is a joke that exploits the different possible meanings of a word or words that sound alike but have different meanings.

There are as many funny puns out there as there are things to pun about (meaning everything). There are dog puns, cat puns, food puns, animal puns, even puns about puns. The most important thing is memorizing as many of these funny quips as possible, so you’ll have a zinger ready for every occasion.
