28 Star Trek Puns and Dad Jokes That Boldly Go Where Groans Have Gone Before

There are two universal truths in this galaxy. One, Star Trek fans will debate canon until the heat death of the universe. Two, Star Trek dad jokes are unavoidable, unstoppable, and somehow immortal.

This list is for the jokes that make you sigh, roll your eyes, and then immediately steal them for later use. The kind of puns that feel like they were written by someone wearing a Starfleet uniform, holding a mug that says "World's Best Captain," and absolutely refusing to apologize for any of it.

We're talking warp-speed wordplay. Phaser-level dad energy. Jokes that hit you like a low-budget alien forehead prosthetic. Some are painfully obvious. Some are delightfully nerdy. All of them would make Picard pause, adjust his chair, and continue anyway.

If you've ever laughed at a joke involving Klingons, Tribbles, or the phrase "resistance is futile," you are among friends here. And if you haven't, well… we're still going to tell them.

So set phasers to pun, engage maximum dad mode, and prepare for jokes that are not logical, not necessary, and absolutely inevitable.
