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.

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"

Mummy mummy can I lick the bowl, no pull the chain like everybody else.

What's yellow and dangerous? Shark infested custard.

How do elephants hide in a cherry tree? Paint their toenails red.

Man impressing his friends with his great knowledge, friend eventually says how do you know so much. Man points at his head and wisely says, 'kidneys'.

How to confuse an Irishman (other racial stereotypes are available), line up three shovels and ask him to take his pick.

We're clearly of the same vintage @WearyAuldWumman . As a child growing up in Fife in the 70s, "Me no daft, me no silly..." was the most hilarious thing ever!

See also "My friend Billy" 🙄 😂

A slice of apple pie costs $2.50 in Jamaica, $3.75 in Bermuda, and $3 in the Bahamas.
Those are the pie-rates of the Caribbean.

I made song about tortilla once, though it was more like a wrap.

Did you know corduroy pillows are in style? They're making headlines.

Memory unlocked! And both still doing the rounds in the eighties (NDN/rake/snake/4 foot 4?)

I heard one of the most bewilderingly contrived obscene jokes ever at a christening do in Lanarkshire circa 1997. It was about a fancy dress party where you’d to arrive as an emotion. It involved tinned desserts and the punchline was ‘I’m fucking disgusted (this custard) and he’s coming in despair (this pear).’

I genuinely can’t think how you could make the set up work, but I think of it every time I pass through.

here’s a clean one for OP’s son:

Baby Balloon didn’t like sleeping in his own bed and would often wake Mummy and Daddy Balloon up by squeeeeezing squeakily in beside them. Mummy Balloon said ‘you’re too big to fit in with us now so I want you to be a very grown-up boy and sleep in your own little bed.’
The following morning Mummy Balloon woke up to discover that all three of them were in bed and there was plenty of room! She said ‘Baby Balloon that was very naughty and dangerous! You’ve let me down, you’ve let Daddy down but worst of all - you’ve let yourself down!’
