What do clouds wear under their clothes?

Thunderwear!

Why This Joke Works

'Thunderwear' is a spot-on phonetic swap for 'underwear' — and thunder is what clouds are most associated with during storms. The image of clouds having undergarments made of literal thunder is both absurd and somehow completely natural-sounding. It's a kids' joke that also makes adults groan with pleasure.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Say 'Thunderwear!' with the confidence of a meteorologist who has been sitting on this joke for fifteen years.

Perfect for:

  • A weather unit in elementary school science covering storms and thunder
  • A rainy day indoor recess when kids need cheering up
  • A storm chaser meet-up or weather enthusiast gathering
