If you’ve ever eaten at a seafood restaurant, you may have opted to choose your own lobster from the tank. After all, everyone does it on TV! But what you probably learned was a valuable lesson — not all lobsters are created equal. Most of the time, you purchase them by the pound. So, if you picked a big one, you undoubtedly enjoyed a rather expensive meal. If you chose a small one, you wound up hungry just an hour or two later. At least with the latter scenario, your wallet wasn’t as light (and, if you were at Red Lobster, you could stuff down a bunch of cheddar biscuits). Needless to say, if you ever experienced one of these lobster dinner fiascos, you likely didn’t find it funny at the time. Well, we’re here to help replace that negative association with something fun. How? Lobster puns and jokes, of course!

Lobster puns and lobster jokes are a blast for people who happen to be fans of marine crustaceans. The lobster itself is quite an intriguing creature. Let’s thank the lobster tanks at the grocery store for helping lighten their image! Although admittedly, the prospect of coming face-to-face with one at the beach freaks us out a bit — we blame it on the claws and the fact that they urinate out of their faces. Yes, that last part is true. It almost sounds like the punchline of a joke itself, right?

With that said, here some lobster puns and lobster jokes to bust out at your next big lobster feast.
