10 Worst Best Tomato Jokes of All Time

10 Worst Best Tomato Jokes of All Time

Plus The Glorious Tomato Story Collection from the editors of GreenPrints

By Don Nicholas | January 9, 2025

10 Best Worst Tomato Jokes

Hey there, fellow garden enthusiasts!

If you’re like me, you understand the deep, almost philosophical connection one can have with their tomato plants. There’s just something about the sweet smell of tomato vines in the morning that makes your heart skip a beat, or maybe that’s just the caffeine talking. Either way, get ready to embark on a journey filled with laughter, groans, and an undying love for the fruit that has us all seeing red – the tomato!

We’ve scoured the depths of humor to bring you the 10 worst best tomato gardening jokes of all time.

Brace yourselves; these are so corny, they might just turn into salsa! Why did the tomato turn red? Because it saw the salad dressing! I can hear your groans from here, and I love it. But fear not, it gets better (or worse, depending on your tolerance for puns). What did the tomato say to the cucumber at the salad bar? Lettuce romaine friends!

Yep, we’re diving deep into the salad bowl of humor here. If you’re not chuckling yet, just imagine a tomato and a cucumber fist-bumping over a plate of greens.

Why did the tomato turn to the mushroom for advice?
Because it was a fungi in distress!

Who knew tomatoes had such mushroomy problems? The vegetable (or is it a fruit?) drama is real, folks.

How do you fix a broken tomato?
Tomato paste! (I can’t decide if I should laugh or cringe.)

But hey, isn’t that the essence of a good tomato joke?

Why did the tomato go to the party?
Because it wanted to ketchup with friends! (I can’t promise these jokes will get better, but they sure are getting saucier.)

What do you call a tomato that’s stuck in a door?
A jam! (Admit it; you’re starting to appreciate the sheer artistry of these puns.)

If only our tomatoes were as resilient as these jokes.

What did the tomato say to the cucumber during the scary movie?
Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered – in sauce! (Tomatoes: not just a delicious addition to your salad, but apparently also your horror movie sidekick.)

Why did the tomato turn to the grape for advice?
Because it wanted to know if it was in a jam! (Clearly, tomatoes have a tendency to seek counsel from other fruits when life gets tough.)

How do you catch a squirrel?
Climb a tree and act like a tomato! (I can’t vouch for the effectiveness of this strategy, but if it works, let me know. I’ve got a few tomato thieves in my neighborhood.)

Why did the tomato break up with the bell pepper?
It couldn’t handle the heat! (Relationships in the vegetable garden can be as tumultuous as any soap opera. Who knew tomatoes had such spicy love lives?)

Now that your sense of humor has been thoroughly watered (just like those tomatoes in your garden), let me introduce you to something truly special.

Drumroll, please…

Introducing The Glorious Tomato StoryBook!

We’ve combed through over 30 years of heartwarming, hilarious, and downright eccentric gardening stories to bring you a collection that celebrates the glory of tomato gardening. From the triumphs of the first ripe tomato of the season to the epic battles against garden pests, our tomato tales storybook has it all.

Dive into the world of tomato lore, share these terrible jokes with your fellow gardeners, and spread the joy of the fruit that unites us all. Trust me, your tomatoes will thank you (probably not, but let’s pretend they will).

Feel free to share this post with your friends, family, and fellow garden enthusiasts. Let’s make the world a saucier, funnier place, one tomato joke at a time!

Happy gardening, fellow tomato enthusiasts! May your harvests be bountiful and your jokes even cornier.
