80 Extra Corny Thanksgiving Puns to Gobble Up

Thanksgiving puns are an excellent way to celebrate the upcoming holiday. They are short and snappy wordplay jokes that you can use to entertain family and friends during the upcoming Turkey Day.

These zingy Thanksgiving jokes and one-liners are a great way to pass the time in the car on your way to your relatives’ house. But these spicy lines can also be great to use on your partner or significant other when dinner is over, and it’s time to head home or for picking up someone’s spirits while you’re celebrating Friendsgiving. 

Either way, they can also keep you, your family, and friends entertained for hours over the holiday. However, some of these puns may be more in the dad-joke category. So, you might be subjected to them, even if it wasn’t how you wanted to spend your holiday, but at least you can be prepared to stifle that groan.

And no matter how much you have to be grateful for, every holiday could use some spicing up. If you can’t use the puns yourself, you can at least be grateful when time spent with your family for the holiday is over, and you don’t have to listen to other family members tell Thanksgiving puns like the ones that follow.

But if you’re looking for something to do between dinner and the food coma that follows courtesy of that turkey sedative tryptophan, check out some of our favorite Thanksgiving puns below. After all, you may be there for several hours and need to do something besides eating.
