Bears might be adorable and cuddly — or so we think from afar — but they’re also bear-n ready for puns, one-liners and witty humor. From writing cute social media captions and memes to printing up some serious T-shirts and even birthday cards, there’s just so much you can do with these playful bear puns! Whether you love grizzly jokes or just want your jokes to have a little bear-ing, bear one-liners are an easy way to put a smile — or groan, in the best sense of the word — on anyone’s face.
In the tradition of my other bear articles, I’ve put together an assortment of bear puns one-liners, spread out over daily chortles, social media captions, cute & heartwarming puns for children and those young at heart, nature-based character-driven puns relevant to fluffy costume characters (or anything else you like), food & animal themed bears gags that will definitely work at any age (as long as people have heard enough silly bear jokes) Along with a bonus segment on what to do with all these bear-friendly party ideas and classroom gift giving opportunities I’ve given you in plenty.
