🎯 Pun

What do you call a bee that can't make up its mind?

A may-bee!

Why This Joke Works

"May-bee" sounds like "maybe" — the ultimate word of indecision. But it's also literally a type of bee: a may-bee. Can't decide? You're not a honey bee or a bumble bee, you're a maybe. The pun is so natural it barely feels forced, which is the mark of a truly great dad joke.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Ask the question and then shrug with exaggerated indecision. Say "a may-bee" while wavering back and forth, like you can't even commit to delivering the punchline. Meta-indecisiveness.

Perfect for:

  • •When someone can't decide what to order at a restaurant
  • •Spring days when bees are buzzing around
  • •When your kid says 'maybe' for the fiftieth time that day

The word "corny" for bad jokes dates back to the 1930s — it originally referred to humor found in seed catalogs sent to corn farmers, which were famously full of terrible puns.
