What do you call a bear with no teeth?
A gummy bear!
Why This Joke Works
"Gummy" does double duty here — it describes a toothless bear's mouth (nothing but gums) AND it's the exact name for those beloved chewy candies. The connection between a real bear losing its teeth and your favorite childhood snack is delightfully ridiculous.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Stretch out "gummy" a little when you say it — it's a satisfying word in the mouth, and kids will be giggling before you finish the sentence.
Perfect for:
- •While snacking on gummy bears with kids
- •In a dental office waiting room to lighten the mood
- •During a camping trip when someone brings up bears
