i have a dutch friend whose favorite joke is:
Person 1: knock knock
Person 2: who's there
Person 1: interrupting cow
Person 2: interrupting cow who?
Person 1: ...dammit

mine is:
two pretzels were walking down the street. one was assaulted. pretzel.
(it's funnier if you tell it in a silly voice)

I don't get either joke TT_TT

okay so thinking about jokes and getting them can make them funnier, having someone explain them always makes them worse. see below

the first one (edited for those unfamiliar with the format), we were trying to teach him knock knock jokes. because they are stupid. he loves the interrupting cow one, but what he loves even better is fucking up the interrupting cow one. and mine is a pun on salted pretzels but it's REALLY BAD
