45+ Utterly Fin-tastic Dolphin Jokes And Puns

There are people who like dolphins… and then there are people who really like dolphins. If you’re one of the latter animal lovers, you make it known. You probably have a dolphin tattoo on your ankle or lower back. Your shelf might be covered in a glass menagerie that mostly consists of leaping dolphins. If you’re dolphin-obsessed, you’ve probably paid good money to feed or swim or paint with said finned animals. No judgment. After all, it’s not like you can go full “cat lady” or “dog person” and rescue a bunch of dolphins to live in your home. You have to find other fun ways to show your love and appreciation. That’s precisely why you need dolphin jokes and puns in your life.

Admittedly, we like dolphins but also think they’re a little sus. Dolphins are fantastically smart — smarter than any other fish in the sea. It’s even been suggested that they could be smarter than humans. Who wouldn’t be suspicious of that? In nearly every picture or video you see of a dolphin, they seem to be smirking, smiling, or even laughing. What amuses them so much? Probably idiot humans. They know they’re smarter than us. And that’s an attitude that just can’t be trusted.

We’re only half-serious, of course. Like goats or camels, there’s plenty to laugh at when it comes to dolphins, too. We rounded up quite a collection of jokes, all written at dolphins’ expense. Just, ya know, don’t let Flipper catch you making fun of him. Who knows what he’s capable of.
