What do you call a duck that gets all A's?

A wise quacker!

Why This Joke Works

"Wise quacker" riffs on "wisecracker" — swapping "crack" for "quack" since that's what ducks do. A duck that aces school and makes jokes is a delightfully overachieving waterfowl.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Deliver "wise quacker" with a slow, approving nod — like you're genuinely impressed by this academically gifted bird.

Perfect for:

  • Report card day when kids bring home great grades
  • Near a pond or park where ducks are waddling around
  • During a school spelling bee or academic competition
