Kids have the best sense of humor. They never fail to surprise us with their creative jokes. Although, some are certainly funnier than others. We’ve gathered 75 of the best ones to share with you today. These hilarious practical jokes will have even the most serious of adults dying of laughter.
It doesn’t matter how strict of a parent you are. If you are the mom that received the text from your kid of a computer mouse caught in a mousetrap, there is no way you are going to be able to bring yourself to punish them. Even if they did have you worried sick for a minute there.
1. Electronics Store Mischief
The kid went from row to row in the store changing the wallpaper of every electronic device to a screenshot of his goofy face. We can only imagine how many people he made laugh when they noticed. The employees must hate him.
2. Manly Chest
Growing facial and chest hair is a rite of passage for any young boy. This little man didn’t want to wait on nature to take its course. He decided to take matters into his own hands.
3. Inspirational Quotes
The mom encouraged her kids to write inspirational quotes on the new letter boards she bought. This was the result. The quote is a little violent, but pretty funny nonetheless.
4. Fun With Photo Apps
The girl decided to face swap with her doll. The app executed the swap perfectly. We had no idea that Face Swap works with inanimate objects, but it created a photo that is both creepy and hilarious.
5. Building The Wall
It’s an ingenious way of making recess last longer. The wall of snow keeps the teachers trapped inside the school, leaving the kids stuck outside in the winter wonderland. Now they can sled all afternoon.
6. Doing The Laundry
She told her daughter to put away her clothes “upstairs”. The command was interpreted literally. It’s a classic act of youthful rebellion against the parents. Kids hate being told what to do.
7. Fake High Five
It’s one of the oldest practical jokes known to man. You offer up a high five, but then right at the last minute, you pull it away leaving your buddy hanging. This little kid pulled the prank on a famous soccer player.
8. Ordering Online
The kid’s older sister told him he didn’t have to use his real name when making an online purchase. This is how the package he ordered arrived in the mail. It was addressed to Dashing McHandsome.
9. Bad Milk
The joke began when the sibling saw a note on the refrigerator door that said, “I think the milk’s gone… bad”. Although, things weren’t exactly as they seemed. They opened the door to find the milk literally had “gone bad”.
10. Kids On A Plane
The toddler decided to mess with the passenger behind him on the plane by making it look like his plastic toy was talking. On the list of annoying things that kids might do on a plane, this one is somewhere between kicking a seat and screaming.
11. Misunderstandings
Kids have the best sense of humor. Their interpretations about what certain things mean can be pretty comical sometimes. For example, the kid who couldn’t help but notice that on his mom’s ID, it showed she got a grade of F for sex.
12. Sticky Notes
“My daughter really loves sticky notes,” wrote the Redditor parent. “Last week I brought her home a bag full of varying sizes, shapes, and colors for her to have fun with. Today, I came home to this…”
13. Being A Parent
Happy Mothers Day… Not! It’s Joshua day again, just like every other day. He better have a present waiting for him in the living room when he gets home or else his mom is going to be in trouble.
14. Family Photos
It’s one of the simplest pranks a kid can play — making a sour face during a family photo. You start with a happy face, but right as the picture is being taken, you change it to a scowl. The family will remember their lovely family outing to the basketball game forever now.
15. Send Pizza
This photo was captured outside of the Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles. One of the youngsters came up with a brilliant idea for a window sign. “Send Pizza, RM 4112,” it reads.
16. Ransom Note
The 7-year-old found a really smart way to manipulate his parents. He kidnapped the TV remote, holding it hostage until the parents give in to his demands. They found the ransom note waiting for them on their bed one evening.
17. Artwork
This kid’s joke is pretty creative on its own, but what really makes it is the accompanying illustration. The artwork that kids make can sometimes be really funny, and this one takes the cake.
18. Growing Humans
Every day, the brother writes a message on the chalkboard for his little sister. He uses it as a way to mess with her. This one shows that the girl started as a vegetable before eventually sprouting from the ground.
19. Short Stories
Humor takes many forms. For example, this short story penned by a 12-year-old boy on how to understand women. It has just one tiny chapter. He was very succinct in his argument.
20. Teacher’s Pet
The professor’s son was on spring break, so she decided to bring him with her to college to help teach the older kids for the day. He chose to wear his Godzilla costume. It created quite the disturbance.
21. Fake Crying
The dad went to cut the baby’s toenails. After the first snip, she tricked him by letting out a pretty serious fake cry. Soon though, she couldn’t keep a straight face any longer. She started cracking up laughing.
22. Phone Addiction
The parents imposed a no phone in the bedroom at night rule to keep the boy from staying up all night playing games. He is supposed to leave it in the charging station downstairs. Although, this time, he only left the case charging.
23. Mannequin Trick
One of the mannequins in this clothing store photo is not actually a mannequin. Can you spot which one is real and which one isn’t? It shouldn’t be too hard.
24. Photoshop Fun
It was the 13-year-old’s first time using the image editing program Photoshop. This is what he came up with — a lifelike representation of actor Steve Buscemi as an angel.
25. Extra Safe
His older brother was learning to drive while he was riding in the backseat. He knew he had to strap up. Although, he might have taken his safety precautions a little to the extreme end.
26. Birthday Card Hijinks

No one does a better photobomb than The Flash. He has the ability to move around his environment at insane speeds. It looks like he is certainly putting his superpower to good use.
30. Mystical Cat
The daughter sewed a unicorn hat for the family cat while her mom was sleeping. It looks pretty ridiculous. The cat is not too happy with the costume, but it’s trying to be a good sport about it.
31. Stocking Surprise
This mom’s kids went out Christmas shopping at Target. When she called to check up on them, they sent her back this cute text. They arranged the stockings to write out a pretty scandalous message.
32. Holiday Greetings
The child wanted to thank their mom for putting up with all the bad behavior over the years… the bad behavior of their sibling. They, of course, are an innocent little angel.
33. Kissing Parents

36. Kid-Friendly Tattoo
This woman’s 5-year-old niece thought it would be fun to glue Googly eyes on her tattoos. We have to agree, it makes the somewhat scary Bowser image from the Mario franchise much less intimidating. It looks pretty goofy.
37. Check It Off
There’s nothing like checking off items on a list, but this girl’s list is blank. It makes her feel like an adult when going out shopping. However, it just makes everyone else really confused.
38. Being Clever

40. Real Life Hero
You might suspect this ID is fake, but nope! It is the kid’s real High School ID. The wise guy thought it would be fun to wear a superhero outfit to class on the day they were taking ID photos. It makes sense. After all, it is High Tech High.
41. Dog Butt
The man’s niece thought it would be hilarious to put sunglasses and a hat on his pet boxer’s butt. She was right. It’s one of the funniest things that we’ve ever seen.

46. Alcoholic
It’s a Snapchat that you never want to see — one where your kid makes fun of you. Sure, it was a comment made in jest, but it still stings. You give them so much love and this is how they repay you.
47. Pie-der Man

50. Tight Spaces
He told his little cousins to stop bothering him. A minute later, he came across this hilarious scene. We suppose he got his wish. They can’t really bother anyone when they are locked up in the cabinet.
51. Tide Pods

53. New Earrings

64. My Precious Parent
This 12-year-old sure knows how to make her dad feel special. She knew that her dad loved Lord of the Rings, so she wrote him this J. R. R. Tolkien inspired note. It is both a hilarious and loving gesture.
