130+ Best Skeleton Puns and Jokes
Last Updated: September 25, 2024 by the Homemade Gifts Team
Yes, I am that weird person who loves sharing ridiculous skeleton puns and skeleton jokes around Halloween. I decided to compile a list of all my favorites, so that you can share them with your friends or use them for spooky and downright silly social media posts. I’m working on a skeleton crew so I hope you won’t be marrow-minded and pick a bone with my list! Scroll down for all the most humerus jokes and puns you can imagine.
While creating the internet’s ultimate list of skeleton jokes, I realised I needed to include a good range of jokes as well as puns. This also includes bone jokes and bone puns. That way you’ll be armed for any occasion that requires a bit of ribbing. Though I do mostly share these at Halloween, sometimes the opportunity for the perfect skeleton pun arises and then you can be ready. Sure, your friend’s eyes might roll in their sockets but at least when you share a pun or two, they won’t feel bonely!
