What do you call two octopuses that look the same?

Itenticle.

Why This Joke Works

'Identical' becomes 'i-tentical' — tentacles are the octopus's defining feature, so identical octopuses are literally 'i-tentical.' The animal's anatomy is embedded in the description of their sameness. A genuine marine biology portmanteau.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Say 'itenticle' slowly and confidently, like it's an established marine biology term that you're surprised they haven't encountered before.

Perfect for:

  • At an aquarium when two octopuses are displayed in the same tank
  • During a marine biology class when cephalopods are on the lesson plan
  • When looking at any two similar-looking sea creatures side by side
