Here are 50+ of the best knock, knock jokes that kids are sure to love!

We’re picky about knock, knock jokes. They have to actually be funny! And to be funny, they need a good play on words. Some knock, knock jokes just seem really random, but our whole family has been on the search for the BEST knock, knock jokes to include in this collection.

These jokes are clean and family friendly and will definitely get everyone laughing.

    Lol! Thanks!! Some I hadn't heard and some I'd forgotten. That Doctor Who one was around when I was a kid (and possibly when my dad was a kid) but he can still get credit since he hasn't heard. My kids enjoy that one. I add the oooeeeooo from the theme or try to make TARDIS noises after the punchline. Actually, the interrupting cow one... I started doing an interrupting Dalek, coming in with "EXTERMINATE" before they're done asking, "Interrupting Dalek who?"
