The human taste for crude humor starts very early, which is true of good jokes for kids too. Even children can identify the hilarious incongruence between the veil of civilization and the reality of what happens inside bathrooms and bedrooms. Potty humor is timeless and universal. Hearing and telling dirty jokes is good for us, and the best jokes let us laugh at and talk about what might otherwise stay hidden. A good toilet joke points to life’s juxtapositions and says, “Yes. This is absurd. It’s OK to feel that way, and it’s best to just laugh at it.” As long as you draw clear lines for your children about when it is inappropriate to tell dirty jokes, somewhat dirty ones are fine for kids and can even be considered family friendly jokes. Where to draw the line on dirty dad jokes depends on how many awkward conversations you’re willing to have should your kid fire off a poop joke in Sunday school or during a test. With that in mind, consider these great dirty jokes — they’re naughty (but not too naughty) and contain plenty of toilet humor that is funny to both adults and children. Use them at your own discretion.
