When the real pirates of yore first landed on America’s shores in the 1600s, little did they know that one day, they would become some of the best punchlines for jokes in history. As it turns out, pirate lore and all of their well-known characteristics are ripe for punning. That’s why it’s so darn easy to come up with pirate jokes and lots of ‘em.
Living comfortably within the realm of dad jokes, pirate jokes are perfect for sharing with your kids at the family dinner table. They can also make an appearance at pirate-themed birthday parties — put them on party favor bags, chalkboards, banners, and more. And they’re not just limited to birthday parties. Pirate jokes can also show up at summer pool parties (even doggie ones!) and ocean-themed soireés.
Pirate jokes can also swashbuckle their way into pirate movie night when you and your family watch any of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, The Princess Bride, Hook, and The Goonies.
And since these pirate jokes are geared toward kid humor (though adults will still find them to be hidden treasures), your littles can even take them to school to make their class-mateys giggle! They might even make for a great “stand-up comedy” show-and-tell too.
