The kindergarteners have become interested in jokes, but you know how little kids tell jokes… 🙂 I’d like to teach them some knock knock jokes that are actually somewhat funny, but I have a problem: I can only remember two- the apple/orange one and the interupting cow one. So can someone help me out here, any maybe suggest ones that little kids will get and like? Especially ones the kids you know like. I’ve found a few on the web, but I’d prefer ones that are doper-approved. ---

My 8-year-old son loves one I found on the last knock-knock joke thread - Knock knock! Who’s there? Panther! Panther who? Panther no panth, I’m going thwimming! I mean, it _slays_ him. Tears, head shaking, the whole enchilada. Also, the perennial: Knock knock! Who’s there? Joe! Joe who? Joe Mama! ---

Don’t forget: Knock knock? Who’s there? Little old lady! Little old lady who? Hey, I didn’t know you could yodel! And my personal favorite, not a knock knock, but I laughed my ass off the first time I heard a 7 year old use it on a local Iowa kid’s show (The Floppy Show anyone?) Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? Why? Because he was dead! ---

Knock knock! _Who’s there?_ Mickey Mouse! _Mickey Mouse who?_ Mickey Mouse’s underwear! 😕 Don’t ask me - this was making the rounds through my kids’ elementary school last year, and they would scream with laughter every time they said or heard it. I guess it’s funny to little kids . . ---

They’re the perfect age for this one… Just tell them “I’ve got a great Knock Knock Joke… you start.” Them: “Knock, knock.” You: “Who’s there?” Then it dawns on them that the roles have been reversed and they don’t know what to say. They give you that I’ve been tricked look, soon get over it and look for a victim to play it on. ---
