What do you call a shoe made of a banana?
A slipper!
Why This Joke Works
"Slipper" is a type of shoe, but bananas are famously slippery — the classic cartoon banana peel gag. So a shoe made of banana would literally be a "slipper" because you'd slip on it. The word works both as the footwear answer and the physical comedy reference.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Ask the setup with a straight face, like it's a legit riddle. Drop "a slipper" with a knowing nod. The visual of someone trying to wear banana shoes is half the comedy.
Perfect for:
- •When your kid is putting on their slippers before bed
- •Grocery shopping in the produce aisle
- •A rainy day when the sidewalk is actually slippery
