Got a kid into going through an alligator phase? Do they end every phone call to grandma and grandpa with a “See you later, alligator”? Encourage your little one’s new interest with some funnies in the form of alligator puns and jokes!

There’s just something about alligators and crocodiles that make the best jokes. It’s not like they’re the funniest animal in the kingdom. They’re actually pretty dangerous and terrifying. But they’re also the closest thing we have to dinosaurs, and they’re apex predators that also enjoy fruits. (How cool is that?) And speaking of food, some say they even taste like chicken. Alligators and crocodiles are definitely some of the more unique animals, so we totally get why your kid is obsessed.

Luckily for you, we’ve gone ahead and rounded up the cutest alligator jokes, puns, and one-liners we could find. We even threw in some hilarious crocodile jokes in there for good measure. And remember to always respond with, “In a while, crocodile!”
