What do you call a parrot that wears a raincoat?
Polly unsaturated!
Why This Joke Works
"Polly unsaturated" riffs on "polyunsaturated" — the type of fat found in healthy foods. "Polly" is the classic parrot name, and "unsaturated" means not wet (not saturated by rain). Chemistry vocabulary doing comedy work is always unexpected.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Say "Polly unsaturated" in the tone of a nutrition label being read aloud — clinical delivery makes the parrot even funnier.
Perfect for:
- •At a grocery store while walking through the cooking oils aisle
- •During a health class or nutrition discussion when fat types come up
- •When it's raining and someone's pet bird is near the window looking miffed
