A funny riddle doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes a simple question with an unexpected play on words is enough:
What do you call a sleeping bull?
Before checking the answer, think of what a bull might be doing when it is lying down and resting.
The answer
A bulldozer!
It’s a lighthearted joke built from the word “bull” and the idea of dozing off. The punchline also happens to sound like the name of a familiar heavy machine.
This is the sort of family-friendly riddle you can share at the table, at a reunion, or with someone who enjoys old-fashioned wordplay. See whether your friends can guess it before hearing the answer.
