Whether you're a professional mermaid looking to bring some laughs to a mermaid gig, or you just want to share some silly jokes with your mer-friends, these jokes are shore to make people chuckle (or roll their eyes).
As professional mermaids, it is our job to be entertaining. I find telling jokes to be a fun way to engage with party guests, even if they're cheesy as shell. If you like any of these jokes, practice telling them in your most enthusiastic voice, followed by a cutesy mermaid giggle.
Some of these jokes will not be understood by little kids, so choose the ones you tell carefully.
