The sun has finally shown its face in 2026, a new documentary just dropped on Netflix, and it’s Pancake Day. It’s officially a good time to be alive.
Wherever you are this Shrove Tuesday, we hope you’re indulging yourself in many, many pancakes – be it a classic recipe, the vegan alternative, or even the gluten-free version.
And don’t forget the toppings either. Whether you’re a lemon and sugar girly through and through, or a finance bro with a thing for savoury style pancakes with plenty of cheese. There’s something for everyone.
In between mouthfuls, Pancake Day tends to be a time when our FYPs and Instagram feeds get filled to the brim with people tossing awful puns around aplenty.
So, in the Shrove Tuesday spirit, here’s our favourite Pancake Day gags to impress your colleagues, friends or family with. Batter beware…
