Kids

Jokes for kids follow different rules. The wordplay has to be visible rather than clever, the subject has to be something a child already knows about — animals, food, school, monsters — and the punchline has to arrive fast, before attention moves on.

Everything in this category is clean, short and easy to repeat, which matters more than you would think: a child who can retell a joke correctly is a child who will tell it forty more times. Consider yourself warned.
