These Pumpkin Puns Are Anything But Basic

The pumpkins have arrived! And, whether you’re drinking pumpkin beers or making pumpkin waffles (or just heading out to the patch to pick your own gourd), you’re going to need some pumpkin puns. Because honestly what good are those perfectly curated photos if you can’t post it on Instagram with a caption that says “I’m witty.”

So, get out your carving kit, stop pretending you haven’t already had a pumpkin spice latte today, and keep this wordplay list handy.

You’ll Fall for These Pumpkin Puns

1. If you wanna be our lover, you gotta get us this mug.

2. You call it basic. We call it out of this world.

3. This Halloween, everybody make a scene!

4. They are literally putting pumpkin in everything now.

5. Hope it’s a gourd one.

6. Should someone alert David S. Pumpkins?

7. The first-person pumpkin perspective is a little bleak.

8. For when you want literal pumpkin puns.

9. Have you tried adding spice?

10. This seems like a win-win situation. Is that the trick?

11. Smash those gourds. Or goals!

12. They’re the original kettlebell.

13. Look, you may as well just put a label on it.

14. Why else do you think we do squats?

15. Now hear us out: spiked pumpkin spice lattes.
