What do you call a camel with no humps?
Humphrey!
Why This Joke Works
"Humphrey" contains "hump" — a camel's single defining feature. A camel without humps gets named after the very thing it's missing, like naming a bald person "Harry." The irony is gentle, perfectly constructed, and slightly mean in the best way.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Introduce "Humphrey" warmly, like you're naming a new pet — make it sound like a completely natural naming choice.
Perfect for:
- •At a zoo near the camel exhibit when kids notice the humps
- •During a desert-themed party or event
- •When kids are naming animals in a book and need a funny suggestion for a camel
