While we love a silly dad joke (who doesn’t?), fathers aren’t the only ones who can appreciate some cheeky puns and snappy one-liners. Everyone could use a good joke to lighten the mood every now and again. For instance: Which is faster, hot or cold? Hot, because you can catch a cold. To follow that banger up, I was going to share a good umbrella joke, but those usually go over peoples’ heads.

If you were tickled by those corny little gags, you’re going to want to store the rest of these goofy numbers in your arsenal of jokes. If your stock of puns is looking slim, here are some good jokes to whip out for every occasion — and for every audience. Because if the goal is to crack smiles and elicit some wheeze-tastic belly laughs, you’ve got to tailor the jokes to your listeners.

Each of these wholesome zingers is certifiably clean and completely safe for work, but we’ve still gone ahead and broken them down for the different audiences that may be around you to ensure maximum giggles and joke landing rates. Good jokes for kids and good jokes for your uncle are probably not even on the same planet, so we’ve organized the best jokes for every type of person in your life below.
