The 85 Funniest Knock-Knock Jokes for Kids

Knock-knock jokes, infamous for their repetitive and universally recognized format, are arguably the best (and most irritating) kids joke format ever invented. In terms of their ability to annoy parents, knock-knock jokes rank one step below baby drum sets and just above the baby shark song. Knock-knock jokes are known to bring kids pure unfettered joy while bringing adults…less joy. After all, the main appeal of cheesy knock-knock jokes for kids is the annoying repetition.

Is there a way to make knock-knock jokes for kids funny (read: bearable) for adults? “I believe what makes knock-knock jokes fun is the fact that they are interactive,” says Rob Elliot, author of Knock-Knock Jokes for Kids. “You have to respond to get to the punch line. This makes them fun for kids and their families ⏤ even if parents are not particularly fans of knock-knock jokes.”

When searching for cute (if cheesy) knock-knock jokes for kids, Elliot suggests seeking out jokes that are surprising. Otherwise, look for jokes that “poke fun at knock-knock jokes or about hearing another knock-knock joke … because we all know after too many they drive us all a bit crazy.”
