27 Puns and Dad Jokes That Boldly Go Where No Pun Has Gone Before

For some inexplicable reason, Star Trek and dad jokes go together like Tribbles and trouble—they just fit. Maybe it's because the series takes itself seriously enough that dropping in a cringey pun feels delightfully out of place, or maybe it's the characters themselves. Picard seems like the type to hit Riker with a groan-worthy one-liner, Data is the king of taking jokes way too literally, and Kirk? Kirk's got the same awkward humor as a dad trying to be cool at the dinner table.

There's something irresistible about pairing Star Trek's high-minded exploration of the cosmos with low-effort wordplay. Whether it's a "Spock-tacular" pun, a Klingon quip, or a warp-speed zinger, these jokes remind us that even in the final frontier, humor doesn't need to be sophisticated to land. Get it? "To land"? Because of… because of the ships… that land?

Anyway, these 36 Star Trek dad jokes are guaranteed to have you facepalming, chuckling, and saying "Make it stop" (but secretly wanting more). Resistance is futile—set phasers to pun!
