Goats are fun, quirky animals that can make for great joke fodder, hence, this list of hilarious goat jokes. Their curious nature, funky eyes, and ability to eat just about anything lend themselves well to humor. Below are 100 hilarious jokes about our cloven-hoofed friends that will have you laughing out loud!

Why Are Goats So Funny?

Before we get to the jokes, let’s discuss why goats make such great comedic material. Here are a few reasons goats are absolutely hilarious:

• Their weird eyes – Goats have rectangular pupils and horizontal slit-shaped eyes that look very unusual. Their sideways-looking peepers give them a constant look of curiosity and confusion that is prime for jokes.
• They’ll eat anything – Goats are notorious for having iron stomachs and munching on strange things like tin cans, clothing, and cardboard. Their indiscriminate appetites lead to lots of joke opportunities.
• Their odd sounds – From strange bleating to bizarre accents (goats raised around other animals will mimic their voices!), the sounds goats make are silly and peculiar.
• Their behavior – Goats do ridiculous things like climbing where they shouldn’t, standing on their hind legs to reach high tree branches, and jumping around like lunatics. Such odd mannerisms make for great joke fodder.
• Their stubbornness – Once a goat sets its mind on something, good luck changing it. Their stubborn refusal to do what they’re told sometimes makes them the butts of jokes.

Now that we know why goats are so funny, let’s dive into the jokes!

31. A family inherits a goat when their uncle passes away. They can’t keep the goat in the house so they build it a little goat shed in the backyard. A few nights later, the neighbors hear strange banging noises coming from the yard. The next morning, they peek out their window to see the goat banging its head against the side of the shed, going bonkers. The concerned neighbors call animal control and tell them about the crazy goat. An officer comes by later that day. The family brings him to the backyard where the goat is still head-banging like a maniac. The officer studies the goat for a minute, then flicks a switch to stop the banging. “He was just cold,” explains the officer. Baffled, the family asks how he figured that out. “Easy,” says the officer, “you just had him switched to the wrong setting – he was on ‘high’ when you should have had him on low.”
32. What do you get when you cross a goat and a calculator? A Counting Goat! A family decides to buy a counting goat to help their kid practice math. At first, it works great – the kid asks the goat math problems and it baa’s the right number of times to indicate the answer. But after a few weeks, the family notices something odd. The goat is gaining weight, almost like it’s pregnant. Then one night they hear screaming coming from the barn. They rush outside to find the goat giving birth! But instead of a baby goat coming out, they see plastic and metal pieces. Turns out their math goat somehow got pregnant and birthed a calculator! I guess now they have a real Counting Goat.
33. Why did the goat get in trouble at school? He was acting up in class and being a real billy goat! This little goat was not being good in class one day. He was climbing on desks, chewing on backpacks, and headbutting other goats. The teacher warned him to settle down but he wouldn’t listen. Finally the teacher called down to the principal’s office. “Mr. Goat is acting like a billy goat again,” said the teacher. The goat got pulled from class and had to sit in the office the rest of the day for his bad behavior. I guess that will teach him not to be such a billy next time!
34. What happens when a goat stops shaving? It grows a goatee! One day a handsome male goat decided he was tired of shaving his chin every day. He wanted to look rugged and cool. So he stopped shaving completely and let his facial hair grow out. After a few weeks he had grown a perfect little goatee on his chin. All the lady goats thought he looked very distinguished. But the farmer got angry because the goat’s goatee kept getting caught on the fence when he tried to eat grass. So the farmer snipped off his goatee. The poor goat was so embarrassed he vowed to go back to shaving every day. I guess having a goatee wasn’t for him after all!
35. Why did the goat eat the film reel? He just wanted to be in the mooooovies! There was a goat named Billy who lived on a farm by a drive-in movie theater. Billy would watch the movies every night over the fence. He longed to walk down the red carpet and see his name in lights. One evening the drive-in owner left a big reel of film sitting out. Billy hopped the fence, snatched up the film reel, and ate the whole thing! Later when the owner put on the movie it was just a giant mess of chewed up film. The owner ran outside and found Billy with film stuck in his teeth. “Billy!” he yelled. “Did you eat my movie reel because you want to be a movie star?” Billy just smiled and continued munching the film. Looks like this goat took “getting into pictures” a little too literally!
36. Why do goats eat old tin cans? They’re good for their digestion! One day a farmer noticed his goats were eating pieces of rusty old tin cans in the junkyard. Worried they would get sick, he called the vet. The vet wasn’t concerned. “Goats have four stomachs. Eating tin cans actually helps them digest food and provides nutrients,” explained the vet. Upon hearing this, the farmer started leaving piles of tin cans out for the goats. He was amazed that the goats never got sick from eating such sharp, dirty objects. But the goats were happy as could be, munching away on old tin like it was delicious hay! The farmer learned an important lesson – goats can eat almost anything!
