Shrek Puns That Are So Good, They Belong in a Swamp

The other day, I wrapped up a totally serious work email with “That will do, Donkey,” and hit send before realizing what I had done. No regrets. Ever since then, I have been fully committed to living my life like a Shrek movie, dramatic entrances, swamp energy, and of course, an endless supply of Shrek puns.

So if you are ready for some laugh out loud nonsense layered thicker than an ogre’s emotional walls, you are in the right place. Let the punishment begin!

Donkey Said What?!

1. I tried meditation, but my brain is just Donkey on loop yelling, “Pick me! Pick me!”
2. My GPS now speaks like Donkey. It does not help me drive, but it sure helps me question life.
3. I told a joke at work, and Donkey popped into my head like, “That will do, stand up comic, that will do.”
4. Donkey tried online dating, but all his photos were just him mid waffle bite.
5. I do not need a therapist. I just need Donkey to yell affirmations at me while cooking breakfast.
6. Donkey once asked me if love is blind, or just nearsighted with swamp goggles.
7. Shrek tried to draw a cartoon but it looked more like a swamp map.
8. Someone asked me to describe my personality. I said, “Imagine Donkey trapped in an espresso machine.”
9. Donkey is the only creature who could turn a dragon into a vegetarian   with sheer nervous energy.
10. I caught Donkey giving career advice to a goat. They both got fired.
11. Donkeys do not walk into a room. He announces himself like he is introducing himself to a new fairytale.

4. My therapist said I have Shrek tendencies: avoidant, green, and occasionally sings Smash Mouth under stress.

8. I told someone I am emotionally layered, and they asked if I meant like a cake. No, like an ogre.
9. If I had a dollar for every time I related to Shrek yelling into the void, I would buy a castle and burn it down for insurance.

Thanks for hanging out in this beautifully chaotic fairytale with me. You are truly the Fiona to my socially awkward ogre soul. Until next time, keep it layered, keep it weird, and never trust a dragon with relationship advice.
