What are your best (clean) jokes?

138 replies

MugsyBalonz · 15/04/2025 07:54

DC is 10 and has got an obsession with jokes and making people laugh. All weekend they've asked me to tell them a joke and I've run out of new ones so please share with me your best clean jokes? And maybe some not so clean ones for me.

To start off, here is one DC told me:

I was at the beach and a man in the water was shouting "Help, shark! Help, shark!". I just laughed because no way was that shark going to help him.

What a cute thread.

This will probably be lost on a 10 year old (and people who aren’t Scottish) but it’s my favourite.

What’s the difference between Bing Crosby and Walt Disney? Bing sings and Walt Disnae. Sorry, I’ll see myself out.

One of the first jokes I heard on moving to Scotland as a child. I was like ..eh? Once I got used to the accent (and this was in deepest Ayrshire) this was my favourite

A man walks into a bakery, points to the cakes and says ‘Is that a doughnut or a meringue’
The baker replies ‘Naw yer right enough the first time it’s a doughnut!’

Also..

Why are there no headache tablets in the jungle
Cos the parrots eat ‘em all.

What do you call a broken angle.
A rectangle. (Wrecked angle)

All total groaners but family favourites!

More a tongue twister than a joke but I used to get kids to do this when I worked as a Butlins Blue Coat as a teen and always made them laugh.
Get him to try and say this really fast..
One smart fellow he felt smart
Two smart fellows they felt smart.

A termite and a frazzled piece of twine walk into a bar. The termite says to the bartender ”Two beers please my good sir.” The bartender looks at the tangled piece of string and says “You’re not welcome here” The termite stands up for his stringy friend and replies “Hold on! What are you talking about?”
The bartender says, “He’s a goddamn rope!” The termite turns to his friend and says, “Is it true, are you a rope?” To which the scraggly little fellow replies with firm conviction, “Nope I'm a frayed knot.”

A mummy potato has 3 daughters. One day she says to them, "Now girls, I want you all to find husbands and marry well."

The next say, the oldest says "Mum, I've found a husband....and guess what? He's a King Edward!" Mum's delighted.....royalty in the family!

The next day, the youngest comes home and says " Mum, I've found a husband! I'm marrying Gary Lineker!"

Stop milking the audience!

WearyAuldWumman · 15/04/2025 16:44

I'm assuming that the "Mummy, Mummy!" jokes are out of order...?

They were in vogue when I was at secondary school in the '70s.

"Mummy, mummy! I don't like granny..."

"Then just eat your vegetables."

....

"Mummy, mummy! Why's Daddy so quiet?"

"Shut up and keep digging."

.....

Yes, we Boomers were/are strange.

ClawedButler · 16/04/2025 13:21

Oh I'd forgotten those Mummy Mummy jokes, can you remember anymore?

The only one I can think of off-hand is

"Mummy, mummy, why do I keep running round in circles?"

"Shut up before I nail your other foot to the floor"

PassingStranger · 16/04/2025 14:10

Where does Tarzan buy his clothes.

I went to the pet shop to buy 12 bees.

The shopkeeper carefully counted out 13 bees for me.

I said ‘but I only want 12 bees..’

To which he replied ‘yes, but that’s your freebie’
