### From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

A joke is something told to make people laugh. There are different types of jokes, such as "Knock Knock" jokes or "Why did the chicken cross the road?".

There are jokes about anything. You can find jokes on the Internet, in books and hear them from your friends. Jokes can be found everywhere.

But some jokes can be racist or sexist and offensive to some people. Be careful who you use some jokes on because they may think you are being rude and insensitive.

Jokes are used in comedy plays and movies. There is slapstick humor which would be things like "The Three Stooges" or "Dumb and Dumber." This kind of humor has been used for a very long time and was even used in some of Shakespeare's most revered plays!
