The yolk's on you. Our hand-curated collection of egg humor, served sunny-side up.
What's the egg's favorite tree?
A yolk oak.

They say every egg is full of potential.
So was my gym membership.
Dark-humor about potential: gym memberships and eggs both carry unfulfilled promise. The egg's potential matters less than its temporal expiration.
An omelette is just
a scrambled egg that got its life together.

The bartender says, 'Sorry, we don't serve breakfast.' The bacon says, 'That's fine, I died for this.'

I asked my egg how it wanted to die.
It said, 'Quietly, in a soufflé — not screaming in a microwave.'
Dark-humor egg preference: death via souffle (quiet) preferred over microwave (screaming). Treats cooking methods as execution styles with aesthetic preferences.
What's an egg's biggest fear?
Being told it has potential and then getting scrambled anyway.
Dark-humor fear: being told eggs have potential then getting scrambled anyway. Conflates false hope with culinary processing, ironic and depressing.
An egg asked the universe, 'What is my purpose?'
The universe said, 'You bind meatloaf.'
Dark-humor job assignment: universe tells egg its purpose is binding meatloaf. Treats eggs as having cosmic insignificance despite their practical utility.
The egg didn't ask to be born.
Then again, neither did any of us, and we still have to pay taxes.

Eggs in the fridge are basically
on death row, watching each other get taken one by one.

What did the egg say after a great workout?
I'm egg-hausted.
