In honor of April’s appointment as National Humor Month, today’s topic is clean, funny jokes. National Humor Month was founded in 1976 by author Larry Wilde, who chose April because of its frequently bleak weather, the fact that it begins with April Fool’s Day and to counteract the stress of taxes being due on the 15th.
“What do you get if you cross a spider and an elephant? I’m not sure, but if you see one walking across the ceiling then run before it collapses!’’ With an emphasis on animal jokes, 101 Kidz contains pages and pages of kid-friendly jokes and riddles. Visit for jokes about chickens, dinosaurs, elephants, cats, insects, spiders, and flies. A few of these categories are listed on the main joke page. For the rest of the animals, you will need to page through the Animal Jokes section, looking for the sub-categories.

As good comedians know, how a joke is presented is just as important as the joke itself. I like the presentation at AzKidsNet because the punch line is hidden until you make it appear. On the Knock Knock Jokes pages, simply hover over Who’s There? to see the question, and then move over to Answer to see the punch line. The other joke pages use a variety of easy to use click and hover techniques to keep the answers hidden until you are ready for them.
