Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best corn pun?
A classic is 'There's a kernel of truth in every corny joke', which blends two meanings of corn words. The colonel and kernel pairing is another reliable winner, since they sound identical.
Why are corn jokes called corny?
Corny means old-fashioned or overly sentimental, and corn gave the English language that word. A corn pun therefore gets two laughs at once: one for the wordplay and one for the corniness.
What corn words make good puns?
Kernel, cob, ear, husk, stalk, silk, tassel, maize and pop all double as other words. Kernel and colonel, maize and maze, and ear and here are particularly strong.
Are corn puns suitable for kids?
Yes. Jokes about scarecrows, popcorn and corn on the cob are clean and gentle, and the classic 'Where's popcorn?' joke tends to get a laugh from children of all ages.
