The discovery of the classic “knock-knock joke” is a game-changer in a kid’s life. And as any mom or dad will tell you, it means you’ll be listening to these jokes for a solid year, at least… The best knock-knock jokes for kids come in a variety of categories: “bad dad jokes,” terribly funny puns and more.
It’s hard not to laugh at jokes for kids: whether the joke itself is actually funny or the way a child sometimes (okay, often) blunders the punch line.
Perhaps no example of this is more well-known than the interrupting cow knock-knock joke, where timing is crucial in order to deliver the punch line effectively.
If you’re not familiar with that favorite knock-knock joke, you’ll find it in our list of 75 knock knock jokes below!
Christmas, a cow, the high school soccer team… Almost anything and everything is subject to a knock-knock joke at some point.
Knock-knock jokes are good clean humor for all ages, and you will certainly impress your little ones by telling these jokes before they hear them from friends on the playground.
It’s also a great idea to encourage children to come up with their own clever (or even not so clever) knock-knock jokes, which sparks creativity and imagination.
Consider a weekly contest in your household for the family member who comes up with the best knock-knock jokes. Perhaps each week’s “best joke” earns a prominent place on the fridge or whiteboard; you may let the winner choose a weekly restaurant for a Friday night family splurge.
And don’t just leave these jokes for the kids. Sure, they’re a bit corny, but you’re almost always going to get an immediate “who’s there?” response from an adult when you say “knock knock.”
So, try it out the next time you need to cut the tension with your partner in the middle of your eleventeenth argument over who last unloaded the dishwasher. Or try one out in a crowded elevator just to see if you can get a laugh in an already awkward space.
