11 Illustrated Math Jokes and Puns
Every once in a while I'll do a list that tests the limits of just how nerdy my readership is. This is one of those lists.
I spent far, far too much time making illustrations of these 11 math jokes and puns. (Most of the jokes are originals -- I did borrow one from "The Simpsons" and I'm sure Nerds of Christmas Past have already made a few of them -- but I tried to keep things brand new.) I present them below with minimal text and commentary.

- Could've also gone with "Dances With Wolves". Or "Ferngully".
- I love this one. Just do me a favor: Don't get too technical and say you can cancel out the pumpkins in the equation.
- Gotta go with the classics. It's the math joke that made me aspire to create math jokes.
- If I'd wanted to make it a bigger square... I would've had to add five more. And there weren't five other worthy roots.
- A tribute to Jackie Robinson. But, really, a tribute to the oft-forgotten "+ c".
- This is the most abstract one. Should induce eye rolling if I've accomplished my mission.
- If this seems like a stretch... ...you should see my original plan for Noah's ARC in a TANning bad.
- They spell it differently. But this still remains mostly relevant.
- This graphic was more difficult to make than expected. Don't do it at work, but one day try a Google image search for "three girls one guy" and prepare for every single image to have one thing in common.
- This joke definitely qualifies under the "Dennis Miller ratio." I also spent forever trying to make it work with "11" instead of "10" but I was too cowardly to keep it from getting wordy.
- I wasn't in the mood to be "edgy" and include a deity in the graphic. And also I decided including Godot was too abstract.
