Look, we know why you are here. You are sitting in a cubicle, desperately needing a vacation, or you are already on a beach trying to come up with a witty caption to make your ex jealous. We get it. We aren’t judging you, but we are judging ourselves for writing this.
Here is a massive list of Hawaii puns and jokes that range from “mildly amusing” to “please revoke my internet access.” We apologize in advance for the emotional damage these wordplays might cause.

Frequently Asked Island Idiocies
Here are some questions people actually ask. We answered them, but we aren’t happy about it.
What is the most popular pun in Hawaii?
Probably “Aloha” jokes because they come and go. It is low hanging fruit, just like a coconut.
Can I use these puns for my wedding vows?
Legally, yes. Morally, no. If you say “I lava you” at the altar, don’t be surprised if there is an objection.
Are pineapples actually from Hawaii?
They are grown there, but they are originally from South America. We know, your whole life is a lie.
Why are dad jokes so popular on vacation?
Because when you are wearing a floral shirt and holding a cold drink, your brain stops filtering out the bad ideas.
Do locals hate these puns?
Yes. With a burning passion hotter than Kilauea. Use them at your own risk.

Umer is the founder of PunSpill and a certified disappointment to his high school guidance counselor. He spends his days writing puns that make people groan and his nights arguing with Gerald, his emotional support opossum (and Head of HR).
He created this website because his friends muted him in the group chat. If you hated this article, please direct your complaints to the opossum; he handles the shredding.
I'm Umer. He's Gerald. I write the bad jokes; he handles the complaints (by sleeping). We created PunSpill so you have something to send your friends to annoy them. Read the full confession here.
