🎯 Pun

What do you call a lazy baker?

A loafer!

Why This Joke Works

A "loafer" is someone who idles around doing nothing — but it's also a shape of bread. A lazy baker is literally a bread-loafer, making their sloth both an occupational label and a product description. The word does double duty with the minimum possible effort, which is thematically appropriate.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Say "a loafer!" with casual dismissal, like the bread's laziness is both expected and exhausting to deal with on a daily basis.

Perfect for:

  • At a bakery or artisan bread shop
  • While slicing a loaf of bread with a distinctly unhelpful person nearby
  • When someone's taking their sweet time making sandwiches and you need to fill the silence
