duck jokes

Quacking punchline material

Duck jokes are a category of humor featuring ducks, typically as setup-punchline jokes with predictable structures.

The most famous involves a duck walking into a bar and asking for grapes.

Many are puns exploiting "duck" and "quack": Got any grapes? No? Then put it on my bill.

Duck jokes occupy a specific niche—clean enough for children, deliberately corny enough to make adults groan.
