Why did the Easter chick tell hilarious jokes to all the uncracked eggs in the nest?
To crack them up
The phrase 'to crack up' is a common idiom that means to make someone laugh uncontrollably. At the same time, 'cracking' literally describes fracturing the hard shell of an egg. Combining the idea of telling funny jokes with fragile Easter eggs leads to this clever double entendre.
