Dinner Plate Puns

It is an extremely rare dish order.

I had an escape-pea!

"Yes, si vous plate."

Son: I want ice cream!

Wife: if you're hungry, your plate is right here

Son: But we don't eat plates!

He's only four. This kid is destined for greatness.

Oh look, an escape-pea, I told him.

"Nothing wrong at all, I'm saving the breast for last!"

"There goes an escaPEA."

Me: Reach for the jalapenos to put on my enchiladas

Dad: Be careful. Those jalapenos can get really personal.

Me: What?

Dad: Yeah, they'll get jalap-en-yo business.

Me: Laugh hysterically

As they sit down, the husband offers to go get their dinner. First he waits in line for the roast beef. Then he waits in the line for the potatoes. He he waits in the vegetable line, the bread line, the salad line, and even the gravy line.

He finally returns to the table with two heaping plates of food. “What would you like to drink?” he asks.

“A glass of punch would be nice,” she says. So off he goes to get it. He finds a line for wine, a line for beer, a line for soda, a line for milk, even a line for water. After considering all of his options he gives up and returns to the table empty-handed.

Sometimes there is no punch line.

My bad mushroom pun has been avenged.

I was having dinner with my mom tonight. Burritos. As soon as I picked mine up, it ripped apart and spewed its contents all over my plate, the table, and my lap.

After I finished swearing a blue streak and started cleaning up, she just casually said:

"Well it is wrapped in a tore-tilla..."

My fiancee and I were eating dinner at IHOP and she made a comment about getting full.

I told her there was no need to stuff herself just because she is pregnant.

She said, No. I think I can finish my plate and I'll be fine."

I responded with, "Sweetheart, I don't recommend eating plates they aren't good for the baby."

Her eyes rolled so hard I thought for sure they'd fall out. Needless to say I can't wait to be a father.

My dad is the king of dadjokes, especially in public. His specialty is bantering with waitresses. The other day we were finishing dinner at a restaurant, and dad still had quite a bit of food on his plate. The waitress came up and said, "Do you wanna box?" to which he replied, "No, but we could wrestle a few rounds." :)

So last night, I decided to treat my husband to a big dinner. He piles food on his plate and begins to eat. A while later I heard him sigh out in contentment. So I proceeded to ask...

Me: Was it good?

Him: Yeah, I ate my whole plate and now I'm stuffed.

Me: Well you could've left the plate. I didn't look too tasty to me.

I got glared at.

I take my steak blue rare. My mom takes her stake well done. After cooking the steaks my dad puts them on our plates at the dinner table. Without fail, I end up with a well done steak on my plate and my mom ends up with a blue rare steak on hers.

When my mom and I switch steaks, my dad proudly proclaims, "It appears I have made a miss-steak".

This happens once a month.

I served the kids their dinner and my son said, "I don't have enough!"
Me: Ah, but this is French Toast.
Son: I know. But I don't have enough.
Me: French Toast is made with an egg for every couple slices.
Son: I know.
Me: And what would French Toast call an egg?
Son: I don't know.
Me: Clearly, you have un œuf on your plate.
Son (not even blinking): Daddy. Get me more French Toast and Topping. You are not funny.

To me this was the moment I knew my girlfriend was a pun master.

Going to the kitchen to grab some more food, my girlfriend happened to be standing there. As a was scooping seconds of dinner she said something and I said one second.. She said "no seconds" as the scoop hit the plate and the words left my mouth.. Two puns at once! I was impressed and amazed needed to post it.

Made french toast for dinner and gave my husband his plate.

Him: "Yum, flapjacks!"

Me: "Nope, they're flap-jacques" :)

Went to dinner at a nice Mexican restaurant with my fiance and ordered a taco, burrito, and enchilada combo plate. When the food came I asked her,
"Is it just me, or does this seem bigger than an inch?"
(Her) "What do you mean?".
(Me) "Well it's call an 'Inch-a-lota'....".

Needless to say her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she sighed the ultimate sigh of dad-joke disappointment.

This happened a couple months ago, over the summer.

My family was sitting together for dinner, and part of our meal consisted of spring rolls. My little cousin was taking too long to eat, pushing food around her plate, so my dad turns to her and says "you better finish those spring rolls before fall comes."

And then he looked around at everyone with a huge grin to see who was laughing. Oh dad, gotta love you.

I was showing my dad some pictures from my trip to Europe. He saw a picture of a rock covered with moss and said, "I'm lichen that!"

For Christmas dinner we were having ham. The plate of carved ham was between my dad and I. Someone asked where the plate went. My dad says,"We're hoggin' it."

There was a store in my home town called carols cedar cellar. It was damaged in a flood and they knocked the building down exposing the basement. We drive by and my dad says,"Now you can cedar cellar."

I have so much to learn.

Every single time I or my wife cooks dinner and we have sweet peas, I always say "who peed on my plate!" or "Let me pee on your plate" and put a big spoon of peas on their plate. It always makes me laugh.

Wife hands me dinner, a salad with some pieces of chicken on it. Wife: "Didn't know which pieces you wanted so I just winged it" I look down and see the two wings of the chicken on my plate....

I was having dinner with about 6 friends. I was boasting about some game we all play and that I was the best at it.

When one of my friend asks me; Do you want me to pull up a chair and plate for you ego?

And instantly an other friend says: Naa, he is already full of himself!

That was about two years ago and I still hear that joke from time to time

They're an older couple and Bud (RIP) loved to mess with his wife. We all sat down for dinner one night, but in order to get into the dining area you had to go down a single stair. Bud's wife said "Watch the step"... as we all fill our plates, Bud is still standing there. His wife said, "Come on Bud, it's time to eat." to which he followed with "You told me to watch the step!"

I was texting my mom during dinner.

Me: "I had a plate of carrots, string beans, and cucumber and broccoli as part of dinner."

"I also got a plate of french fries so I don't eat too healthy."

Mom: "lol. It may send your body into shock."

Me: "are you saying it will put me into a vegetative state?"

During dinner tonight I told my dad his fries were delicious, he told me "yeah, that's because they're homemade"

After this his girlfriend chimed in

"yeah I can taste they were cut with love!"

without looking up from his plate my dad says

"No, with a knife."

Having Irish grandparents, my grandmother is obsessed with making sure everyone has plenty of food on their plate. As soon as we are done with dinner, the conversation normally goes like this.

Grandma: Was that alright?

Dad: Yeah, it was.

Grandma: would you like some desert?

Dad: Do you have any?

Grandma: I do!

Dad: No thanks.

Gets me every time.

Picture this.

A fancy Christmas dinner party at his new wife's opulent, sandstone estate house. Plates are being cleared from the lengthy, mahogony table that seats the fourteen well-to-do guests, the main course having just finished. All have feasted gloriously on our Christmas fare.

My Dad, playing the good host, picks up two bottles of wine, one white and one red, and proceeds to do a round of the table, chatting amiably with everyone as he circles. Those whose glasses are less than 90% full, he proceeds to top-up. I am sitting in the very centre of the long table, seated directly opposite a very well off lady in her early sixties, by the name of Margaret. My dad, having just topped off my glass, is now standing directly behind me.

This older woman, full of grace and charm, looks to my Dad and says, "Thank you so much for this glorious meal, John. It's been simply divine."

My Dad, "Not at all, Margaret, not at all. Could I charge your glass?"

Margaret, "Oh, no no, thank you. I've got the bottle in front of me!"

My Dad, quick of wit, and with a sneaky - yet charming - grin on his face, responds, "Ah, well, better that than a frontal lobotomy!"

I've never been more proud of him.

My dad cranks out jokes left and right during each dinner we have together.

Today though, got more groans than usual.

My mom has been suffering some back pain this week, and today was especially bad. The kitchen lights were giving her a headache to boot. She asked "it's to bright in here..."trying to ask if someone would turn of the lights. She didn't stand a chance, before even finishing her sentence my dad had already risen with his plate and fork in hand and exclaimed "I'll just eat in the other room then".

I just subscribed to dadjokes and I absolutely love it. Probably because i have the same sense of humor. Anyway here is what happened last night as I was home visiting for dinner.

My mom has spent all day preparing a glorious meal of shredded barbeque chicken, spanish rice, and corn bread (the kind of home cooked meal you just don't get in college). One of my moms absolute favorite things is cornbread and honey. so while we were sitting at the table waiting for her to get her plate she set my dad up for his moment of glory. "Is my honey on the table already?" I saw the look in his eyes he knew he had her! "No sweety I'm in my chair. I haven't had enough to drink to get on the table yet!" I laughed high fived my dad while my mom and my sister rolled their eyes.

My mom made meatloaf for dinner (it was fairly good).

While doing dishes, my dad decided to put the scraps and some grease on a plate of dog food. He put the plate and the ground and kept turning it to tease the dog. This was right by the backdoor, and since it snowed today, there was a towel on which the dog dried his feet.

Me: the dog peed from you teasing him!

Mom: that's on you, dad!

Dad: it's not on me, it's on the towel!

Chuckling ensued.

Dad: This is mom hands me moms plate with dinner on it

Me: No, that's a plate.

Wife: How long will dinner be?

Me: (holding my hands a dinner plate's size apart) This long.

My mom tried to steal a fry from my dad's plate at dinner.

Dad: Hey! I'm going to eat that!

Mom: Sorry, I didn't know. I don't want it to go to waste.

Dad: You mean you don't want it to go to MY waist!

He snickered proudly as he chomped the fried tater.
