Jokes and Riddles 

Here’s a riddle for you: What comes at the end of every kid joke? Answer: “Okay, I have another one.” They just never seem exhausted by their limited supply of gags. But, left to their own devices, the jokes they pick up from friends or TV shows might not be really funny (especially when your child tries to repeat it from memory, although mangled kid jokes are secretly one of the best parts of parenthood). It’s time to intervene and teach them some real comedy.

When it’s time to restock your child's repertoire, try one from our guide to the best jokes for kids. They’re short, easy to remember, and they make sense — which is not always a given with kid jokes! And yes, they will probably make other adults roll their eyes the next time your child decides to try out her stand-up routine for all of the relatives. (They’re not quite to the level of Dad Jokes, but they’re getting there.) Plus, we found more than 60 of them, so you can keep returning to this list every time the material gets stale. And, even though there are a ton of gags on this list, orange you glad we didn’t include that tired old banana joke?

At Culture Amp, one of our company values is, “Have the courage to be vulnerable.” One way we put this into practice is a rite of passage for our new Campers – telling a joke at their first all-hands meeting. 

We’ve been graced with our fair share of ‘dad’ jokes, so-bad-they’re-good puns, knock-knock jokes and even some moments of pure stand-up comedy. In 2017, over 90 new Campers joined us across our three groups – Customer, Org, and Product – and we thought we’d share the laughter with you.

I'm giving this 5 stars because it is everything it claims to be. But my son got two joke books at Christmas: this and "Laugh out Loud Jokes for Kids" by Rob Elliott. At 7 years old, my son likes this book, but prefers Elliott's book to this one because this one contains a lot of things he doesn't understand. In a year or two, he'll likely prefer this one, as it has much more content and far more variety, but if you're considering which of these to buy, perhaps a 9-10 year-old would prefer this, but a 7 or 8 year-old might prefer something a little simpler.

In a dark bedroom, Batman confesses to Catwoman. The two are in a relationship and Batman feels there is a part of his history Catwoman must understand before they move their relationship to the next level. Batman proceeds to tell the story of an all-out war between Joker and Riddler that erupted during Batman's second year wearing the cowl. Batman reveals the measures he went to in order to end the war, and how he almost lost his soul. Within all this is the story of Kite Man, a little known comic book villain here given a deeply tragic back story.

The War of Jokes and Riddles is in the top three Batman stories I've read. Its dialogue is sharp and powerful, filled with pathos and allusions to previous Batman stories and movies. Batman is presented as emotionally vulnerable and personally aware; this is one of the most accessible versions of Batman I've seen. Somewhat strangely, then, it is perhaps the story of Kite Man ("Hell yeah!) that is one of the story's most emotionally moving parts. The individual who becomes Kite Man struggles against incredible disappointment and loss, his the story of one small individual caught in a war between titans.
