If you have a sweet tooth with a soft spot for confectionery and looking for some a-dough-rable humor, we have collected some of the best donut puns for you! From donut puns for Instagram to donut puns for work, this collection has them all. Why donuts, you ask? Well, let us explain!

A donut is the perfection of the universe embodied — it's yummy, round, has a hole right in the middle, and is inherently adorable. How could you not be enticed to eat one when it's staring right at you with its colorful glaze, confetti of sprinkles, and seduces you with the warmest aromas known to humankind? 

Not only are donuts tasty, but they are also somewhat of a pop culture icon, too. For instance, can you think of a movie showing police officers eating, say, croissants? That would be inconceivable! Or how about Homer Simpson and his obsession with this sweet, sweet confection? He wouldn't be the Homer that we love without it. 

So, to honor our beloved delicacy and express our gratitude, we are dedicating this post to donut puns! We promise you that these funny donut puns and donut jokes are so a-dough-rable that they will leave you craving this heavenly-tasting oily chunk of dough like never before.

As you're about to see, these donut puns are just like the donuts themselves — some are sweet, quite a few are deliciously funny, and a couple are dedicated to connoisseurs only. Read and pick your favorite. But first, let’s know more about donuts.

Why are Donuts Called Donuts?

Doughnuts, or donuts, can be traced back to the Dutch immigrants in New York during the 17th and 18th centuries. Known as olykoeks (oil cakes) by the Dutch, their structure lacked a hole back in the day. They got their iconic hole from an American called Hanson Gregory.

At that time, nut meant a small, rounded cake. The donut was basically a small round cake made from dough. Thus, olykoeks came to be known as doughnuts or donuts. And that is the story of how our beloved pun-worthy confection got its name.

Now that you know the history of donuts, let’s look at our selection of funny donut puns aimed at these glorious buns. Don't forget to give your vote for the tastiest and share this article with your sugar-loving friends!
