The 81 Funniest Knock-Knock Jokes for Kids

Knock, knock. Who’s there? It’s the knock-knock joke, perhaps the best (and also most irritating) joke format for kids ever. For a child humor is a weapon to be wielded like a buzzsaw sawing a trumpet in half while someone is playing “Baby Shark.” In other words, children love knock-knock jokes because they love annoying repetition. But what makes the best 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,” Rob Elliot, author of Knock-Knock Jokes for Kids, tells Fatherly. “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 Fatherly asked Elliot for help in creating a list of the best (if cheesy) knock-knock jokes for kids, he offered this sage wisdom. First, try to find corny knock-knock jokes that are surprising. And second, dig for ones 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.”

1. When shopping for toys, what's the most important quality you look for?

   That it's fun.

   That it is educational.

   That it will keep my child's attention.

   That it won't drive me insane.

Thanks for the feedback!
