The all-time funniest knock-knock jokes for kids
Knock-knock jokes are a big deal in my family. My grandpa used to tell them so often that my grandma joked his gravestone would read: “Knock, knock. Who’s there? Not John—he’s dead!” Sadly, my grandpa’s gravestone is of the normal, boring variety, but he did leave behind a knock-knock-joke-loving legacy for his grandkids. If there’s ever a lull in conversation, I might pop in with a quick knock-knock joke to keep the good times rolling. And I feel it’s my moral responsibility to pay it forward and teach future generations the power, the glory and the goofy hilarity of the knock-knock joke—which is where this list of the best knock-knock jokes for kids comes in.
These groan-worthy punch lines and goofy wordplays are sure to get lots of laughs, even if—or especially when—they’re super silly. And once the kids in your life have learned them all, they’ll be ready to go into the world with an entire reserve of the best jokes at their fingertips, which is the kind of education every child truly needs.
So with that, we’ll kick it off: Knock-knock. Who’s there? A whopping 105 near-perfect knock-knock jokes, of course!
