I was impressed with my daughter when she told this joke in kindergarten - "What do you call a fly with no wings.... A walk!"

My husband talks to the TV if that helps?

HI, We are on the same wavelength today - here is my early morning post :) https://www.facebook.com/OutOfSchoolMatters

Good luck with stopping the stream-of-conciousness narration - my FIL still does it, and he's in his 60s.

With my kids, I try to give them a limit of things they can say, or a time limit before they can say anything again - otherwise every ten seconds or so I get a question beginning, "Why...." Can't really say that this strategy is super successful, but I'm playing a long game - I don't want them to be like their Granpa when they're adults. I know it's bad to stifle a child's curiosity, but it's also bad to drive mummy crazy when she just needs to zone out for a bit while providing movie cuddles.

Jimmy is just like this! :) Except half the time he forgets the end of the knock knock joke.

And yes, he talks at the tv. All the time :)

I love kiddy humour... I only ever managed to teach my much younger sister 1 joke... which was brilliant coming out of a 4 - 5 year old... Whats the difference between snot & cabbage? Kids won't eat cabbage. One of her best friends had an amazingly developed sense of humour, and ability with puns from a very young age, no surprises then that he now works in television!

The current favourite "knock knock" joke for my six year old is: Knock, knock Who's there? Boo Boo who? There, there, don't cry... Lame, but for a while we were getting the cauliflower-style answer, followed by "that's really funny, isn't it????" Um, no.

Haaaaaaahahahaha interrupting dog! love it!

'I just said undies' is apparently hilarious to him.

Yes, he answers Dora's questions!

My 5 year old thinks she's very funny, but all jokes she tells end with "and then he farted" cue guffaws of laughter from her and her 2 year old sister who is also quite keen on a good fart joke. My 9 yr old boy constantly surprises me by his quick wit and his play on words. None of the kids speak fluent English, but they're getting better and we play long games of "what's the English word for.....". Last night I asked what the English word for knickers was (little girl learning to dress herself) and everyone was stumped. 5 yr old was doing her normal trick of knocking of the vowel at the end of the Spanish word to make it SOUND more English, when my 9 yr old son suddenly came out with "Lady Pants". I cried with laughter. What a great way of working around a word you don't know to come up with an understandable solution.
