35 Funny Hat Puns & Jokes To Try On For Size

The target of some funny hat puns and jokes

Having some funny hat puns or jokes handy is critical. It can be a great way of poking fun at your friend who insists on wearing something outlandish, or a subtle way of pestering someone who won’t take off their hat at the dinner table.

Hats are kind of goofy if you think about it. They started as a garment that was designed to protect our giant noggins from the sun, and turned into a fashion statement over time.

Or just a way for people to hide their hair situation.

Whatever the case may be, hat puns and hat jokes are hilarious. You can decide to be a real pest with them or simply take your friends by surprise for the sake of a random laugh.

We have a couple chronic hat-wearers in our office on Madison Avenue and they have now become our favorite targets.

We’re having fun with these. We hope you do too!
