🎯 Pun
Why did the grape stop in the middle of the road?
Because it ran out of juice!
Why This Joke Works
"Ran out of juice" — same pun as the lemon and orange versions, but with a grape this time. "Juice" means both energy and the liquid inside the fruit. This one's a classic because grapes are THE juice fruit — grape juice is practically its whole identity. Running out of juice is existential for a grape.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Tell it as part of a fruit-crossing-the-road trilogy if you've already told the lemon or orange versions. By the third one, the audience groans before you even finish the setup. That's the goal.
Perfect for:
- •Drinking grape juice or eating grapes
- •When you've already told the lemon and orange versions and want to push your luck
- •Road trips when everything is a 'why did X cross the road' joke
💡 Did You Know?
The word "corny" for bad jokes dates back to the 1930s — it originally referred to humor found in seed catalogs sent to corn farmers, which were famously full of terrible puns.
