Make the Family Laugh This Year with These Hilarious Thanksgiving Puns and One-Liners

Make the Family Laugh This Year with These Hilarious Thanksgiving Puns and One-Liners

Every November, it's time to gather the family around the table for fellowship and delicious food. Once you start feasting, get ready for the puns and one-liners to start flying! We can't help it. Even during Thanksgiving, there's time for dad jokes ("Dad jokes? I think you mean rad jokes..."). Entertain the crew with the best Thanksgiving jokes, puns, witticisms, and one-liners of your own.

In addition to providing some levity should the Thanksgiving Day discussion turn to politics, or in case mom accidentally burns the big bird, these humorous musings will come in handy as you're sitting around, post-meal, deliberating about what will make for the most engaging (yet effortless) Thanksgiving Instagram caption for that artful shot of sweet potato casserole. These playful expressions will also make for fun-loving banter in the kitchen—again, providing levity in a high-stress, double-ovens-fired-up situation—but they're also just the words to jot down on a card, win over the kids' table, or—if you really want to go the extra mile—print on a T-shirt. (C'mon, don't you want to see Aunt Margaret wearing a t-shirt that says Feast Mode?)
