54 puns & jokes4 min readUpdated By Pryzentali Editors

Eggs might be the most pun-friendly food in the fridge. "Egg" slides into any word starting with "ex" (egg-cellent, egg-stra, egg-citing), "yolk" sounds like "joke," "shell" sounds like "she'll," "crack" means both a break and a joke, and "scrambled," "poached," "fried" and "hard-boiled" all describe people's moods.

  • "You crack me up" — A real phrase for making someone laugh, and eggs literally crack.
  • "New Yolk City" (New York) — A famous city with one letter swapped. Kids love it.
  • "Omelette you finish" (I'll let you finish) — A remix of a famous internet line; adults recognize it immediately.
