Why Did the Turkey Cross the Road?
To prove he wasn’t a chicken! This is just one of the very many funny—and totally corny—Thanksgiving jokes to consider sharing around the dinner table or writing in your Thanksgiving cards.
There are very few times when jokes are not appropriate, and Thanksgiving is not one of those times. Over dinner, many different conversations take place: some serious, some political, and others just plain uninteresting. Liven up the conversation a bit by telling a few Thanksgiving jokes!
Awkward silence in the room? Tell a joke! Can’t think of how to contribute to a conversation? Tell a joke! Mouth full of food? Tell a joke anyway! It'll just make it funnier.
Make your friends and family smile this Thanksgiving with these uber-corny holiday jokes and one-liners.
The Cornier the Better
With all of these orders to tell jokes, you probably need a few to recite. More often than not, there are young children present for Thanksgiving dinner, so be sure to keep the jokes appropriate for little ears if this is the case.
Other than that, the sky’s the limit. Pick and choose carefully if the family is eating so as to not cause someone to lose their appetite (or their stuffing). Here are some funny and (mostly) kid-friendly Thanksgiving jokes to tell during the Thanksgiving festivities. Get ready for some good laughs and terribly tacky punchlines.
Kids tend to get bored on holidays—use these corny turkey jokes to keep them engaged and giggling!
