115 Moon Puns to Light Up Your Night with Gales of Guffaws

Moon puns playfully use the multiple meanings of lunar themes and imagery to create silly wordplay.

The moon’s phases, craters, eclipses, and connection to space exploration all get twisted humorously with jokes about the moon “waxing” poetic, werewolves acting strange during full moons, lunar-tick bites, and more.

Moon puns often anthropomorphize the moon, giving it human qualities like throwing parties, feeling sleepy or hungry when full, telling stellar stories in podcasts, going to the gym to improve its orbit, and wanting to be a weather forecaster or DJ. The absurdity evokes laughter about the stoic moon behaving foolishly.
