Why Turkey Puns Are the Best
Turkey puns are cheesy, but the brilliance lies precisely in that: cheesiness. They turn Thanksgiving at home into a joke. They turn Thanksgiving cards into a memory. They make your face smile, especially when everyone is stuffed and can’t even get up from the couch.
Turkey puns are so low-class they’re appropriate for kids, so cheesy they’re appropriate for grown-ups, and so all-ages they’re appropriate for family. They’re the sprinkle on all sprinkles: a dash of humor, a dash of wisdom, and mountains and mountains of goofiness.
Conclusion: Gobble, Giggle, Repeat
Turkey puns are the gravy that makes the holiday even better. Whether you’re writing a card, posting an Instagram caption, or cracking a joke at the table, these puns will make everyone smile.
So this Thanksgiving, rather than bringing food to the table, bring laughter instead. Share the turkey, share the love, and most importantly, share the puns. Because the ideal stuffing for the evening will indeed be laughter.
