How many tickles does it take to tickle an octopus?

Make It Land

Count Straight to the Sound-Alike

“Ten tickles” sounds like “tentacles,” the arms associated with an octopus. The question invites a number, making ten feel like an ordinary answer before its sound becomes the real punchline. Keep “ten” and “tickles” close together and avoid overpronouncing the pun. Natural speed makes the two-word answer click as one familiar animal term.
