Viv decided to test my claim that you can find jokes about anything on the internet and asked me to find jokes about the word orange.
Apologies for the weird formatting – I gave up after an hour.
We’ll start with one my kids used t0 tell when they were small – it was the first joke that came up:
Knock Knock
Who’s there?
Banana
Banana who?
Knock Knock
Who’s there?
Banana
Banana who?
Knock Knock
Who’s there?
Banana
Banana who?
Knock Knock
Who’s there?
Orange
Orange who?
Orange you glad I didn’t say banana?
Next comes one that took me a moment because of the foreign currency:
A woman was shopping at a produce stand in her neighborhood. She approached the vendor and asked, “How much are these oranges?”
“Two for a quarter,” answered the vendor.
“How much is just one?” she asked.
“Fifteen cents,” answered the vendor.
“I’ll take the other one,” said the woman.
Now for some bad ones, followed by some really bad ones:
Why did the orange stop rolling down the hill?
It ran out of juice.
Why was the guy fired from the orange juice factory?
He couldn’t concentrate.
What can a whole orange do that half an orange can never do?
Look round.
Knock Knock
Who’s there ?
Orange
Orange who?
Orange you even going to open the door?
What did the chick say when his mother produced a citrus fruit instead of an egg?
Look at the orange mama laid.
What did the apple say to the orange?
Nothing. Apples don’t talk.
What’s orange and sounds like a parrot?
A carrot.
And last but not least…the cartoon strip called Rhymes With Orange:

So do we get to vote if you or Viv won the challenge?
Yes, so long as you vote for Viv – I would never try to beat her
this right here is why a case can be made that the Internet is actually a better invention than sliced bread.
you outdid yourself with great jokes tonight. good job!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed them
Well that was different!
Kamarad You win, and the prize is? Lunch in Carlisle, this time next week. Yippeee,
Yeah!!
BTW, I was so confident in Google, I told you to watch out for today’s post before I had even looked for a joke
Love the first cartoon!
I used to tell that first joke when I was about 6. I thought I was hilarious.
My kids did, too
And the first time it is funny. But after a 100 tellings, not so much…
Hahahahahaha, orange you glad Viv asked you to look up jokes about oranges?
Yes, they were fun
Who’d have thought some of these are pretty funny!
Great idea, Viv! You got me wondering . . .
More work for me?
Yep.
Wink.
An orange walks into a bar and orders a juice.
The barman says “Are you taking the pith?”
Good one!
Loved the orange jokes, even though I’d heard some of the knock-knock ones before when I was a kid. They were good ones.
I wrote a gag about an orange. But you need the cartoon to go with it! Victorian boy says to dad: when I said I wanted an orange for Christmas I meant a mobile phone.
No pic necessary! I got it
We did give it away for free – well as a Christmas card one year…
Orange mama laid. Really, Tess? Must you stoop so low?
Oops! Tilly, not Tess!
If you’re going to scold, you must have all your ducks in a row
That’s a lot of work for oranges but very cute.
Yup… some were pretty bad, but they all made me smile and laugh.
You missed this one:
There were an orange and a carrot walking down the street and they were best friends. Out of nowhere a car came and hit the carrot, so the orange rushed him to the hospital. Eventually the doctor came into the waiting room and he told the orange, “I’ve got good news and bad news.” The orange asked for the good news first, and so the doctor replied, “Well your friend is going to live, but he’s going to be a vegetable for the rest of his life!”
Thanks!
This took me waaaaay back to the knock Knock days of yore.
Lol, nothing rhymes with orange so the carrot one is wonderful
