Winter
14 jokes, all of them clean
Winter jokes are snowmen and cold. Abdominal snowman, ice caps, igloos it together — most of these are single-word swaps where a cold thing replaces a body thing, and that swap turns out to be very reliable.

How does a penguin build its house? Igloos it together.

Ice words replace body words
Ice caps are a polar feature and a thing you wear. Abominable is 1 letter from abdominal. Frost, chill, cold and freeze all have emotional meanings sitting alongside the physical ones. The pattern across this page is that winter vocabulary overlaps unusually far with body vocabulary, and every joke here is standing on one of those overlaps.
The long season
Winter runs about 4 months in most places, which gives this page the longest useful window of any seasonal topic here. That matters more than it sounds — a Christmas joke is dead by the 26th, but a snowman joke has until March. If you want seasonal material that keeps, take these over the holiday pages.
The one to actually use
What do you call an old snowman. One word, and the whole joke is that it is simply true. There is no pun and nothing bent — a snowman that has been around long enough is water, and saying it out loud is somehow bleak and funny at the same time. Nothing else on this page gets close to that with 1 syllable. The abdominal snowman is the better pun and the more forgettable joke.
