275 Rat Puns and Jokes That’ll Squeak You Up

Funny thing—I wasn’t even looking for rat jokes. I was just scrolling around one night, half-bored, when I saw this pun about a rat and a cheese shop. Dumb? Yeah. But it made me laugh harder than I should admit. And that was it. Suddenly, I was sucked into this weird little world of rat puns and jokes, and wow, there’s a lot more out there than I ever expected.

Some are bad. Like, real groaners. But others? Weirdly clever. The kind that sneak up on you and make you laugh when you weren’t planning to. I started saving them, making my own, even texting them to friends who did not ask for that.

Anyway, if you’ve made it here, I’m guessing you’re down for some ridiculousness too. So let’s dive in. No promises you’ll love every single one—but at least a few will rattle your funny bone.

Why I Got Weirdly Into Rat Puns and Jokes

I didn’t set out to write a giant pile of rat puns and jokes, it just kind of… happened. Like one of those things where you laugh once and then suddenly you’re twenty tabs deep in rodent wordplay wondering what happened to your life.

But here’s the thing—rats get a lot of hate. And yeah, they’re not winning any popularity contests against, like, cats or dogs. Still, they’re smart little guys. And the pun potential? Wild.

I started noticing how easy it is to twist “rat” into just about anything. Throw in some mouse puns, maybe a rodent pun or two, and boom—you’ve got yourself a strange but oddly satisfying comedy corner.

Anyway, it’s not Shakespeare, but it’s fun. That’s the whole point.
