If sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, then jokes written by small children are most definitely the highest.
Even the briefest of visits to the @KidsWriteJokes Twitter page is glorious proof of this.
The idea started as the Tumblr page Bad Kids Jokes in 2012, before expanding to Twitter in 2016.
"While I was moderating joke submissions on the website I worked on, I used to send the funniest ones around the office, until someone suggested that more people should see them, and that I should share them somewhere publicly," the account owner, a 33-year-old UK resident who works in social media and runs the @KidsWriteJokes anonymously, told Mashable.
And the public clearly approves. Despite being on Twitter for only 21 months, @KidsWriteJokes already has over 70,000 followers.
The account owner confirmed that all the jokes featured are written by children.
"That's what makes them so brilliant," they said.
From lonely, self-cannibalising bananas to horse's called Jessica, here are 21 of the best...
