What do you call a cow on a trampoline?

A milkshake!

Why This Joke Works

A cow on a trampoline would be bounced and shaken — and shaking milk makes a milkshake. The physics of bouncing livestock meets the physics of dairy processing in one perfectly logical compound noun.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Pause after the setup to let the image of a bouncing cow fully settle — then deliver "A milkshake!" to connect the dots with authority.

Perfect for:

  • At a dairy farm or country fair
  • When kids ask for milkshakes and you want to explain the science
  • During a silly animal hypothetical conversation
