Let’s face it: “Baby Shark” is a fact of life. But even before the phenomena that is Pinkfong’s “Baby Shark” song became the toddler ear-worm it is today, kids — and adults alike — have been fascinated by all things shark. And we get the obsession! Sharks are not only the apex predator of the sea, but they’re also really interesting. They’ve roamed the ocean for more than 450 million years, and although they’re the tough guys of the ocean, they don’t even have bones. Their skin feels like sandpaper, and if you flip them on their back they fall into a trance. For these reasons and many more, we can’t resist shark jokes and puns!

We’re pretty sure you won’t be able to resist them, either. Why? Because your kiddos will eat these punchlines up. So, get ready to entertain your little shark enthusiast with these clean, kid-friendly shark jokes. And if that doesn’t work? You can always play that über-catchy song again.
