134 Office Puns That will Make Your Workday Funnier

Warning: These office puns may cause uncontrollable desk laughter 🤓😂 things are about to get really loud in here, so read carefully… or your boss might start laughing too hahaha!

Okay, let’s be real for a sec. Work can sometimes feel like a never-ending email chain from hell. You’ve got meetings that could’ve been an email, printers that jam at the worst possible moment, and that one co-worker who says “circling back” like it’s a personality trait. 🙃

So naturally, what do we need? Office puns. Yep, the silliest, groaniest, laugh-so-hard-you-snort kind of wordplay to survive the 9-to-5 grind.

Now, the big question is: Can office puns actually make a boring day better?

Yes, absolutely. A well-timed pun can turn “ugh Monday” into “ok Monday 😂.”

In this blog post, we’re going to go waaay beyond the standard “paper jam” jokes.

So grab your coffee (or that sad lukewarm tea bag water from the kitchen), and let’s dive in.
