Friday Funny May 30, 2025 A Swarm of Bug Jokes

Happy Friday!  Around my house, it is time for another brood of the seventeen-year cicadas to make their presence known.  I thought I would celebrate with some bug jokes.

Enjoy!

Would you call the place where bugs get off the train an infestation?

Would you call an indecisive bee a maybe?

Would you call a really old ant an ant-ique?

Is it true that butterflies sleep on cater-pillows?

Did you hear about the dung beetle who walked into a diner and asked, “Is this stool taken?”

Did you hear about the butterfly that they would not let into the dance because it was a moth ball?

Did you hear about the lightning bug that went to college because he was very bright?

Did you know that there are few bugs that live on military bases? It is because of the strict no-fly zones.

I watched a great movie about a giant bug, it was XL-ant.

People who cannot distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

Friday Funny June 13, 2024 Cicada Jokes

Happy Friday!  I read where a good portion of the Midwest is dealing with 17-year cicadas.  We had them in Ohio a few years ago so we feel, or should I say hear, your pain!  Here are some cicada jokes to kick off your weekend.

Enjoy!

Is it true that cicadas are boring conversationalists because they don’t stop buzzing about what was cool 17 years ago?

I saw a cicada last night. The poor guy was just a hollow shell of his former self.

I heard that a cicada chef is opening a new restaurant, it’s called “Emergence-y Dining.”

Did you know that cicadas have very odd beliefs? It is true, they are all in sects.

Is it true that a cicada’s favorite game to play is ‘Hide and exoseek’?

I heard that cicadas get off the subway at the infest-station.

If life is just a game, then cicadas are not bugs, they are features.

Did you hear about the cicada who was lonely because he had no buggy to hang out with?

Is it true that the cicada called off work because she had a bug?

People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in a way I can’t put into words.
