Butterfly and Insect Jokes

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

When I am at a restaurant, birthday party, or other event, I like to interact with the kids beyond just asking them what they want. Sometimes I will ask about school or some recent event/holiday. Other times, I will try to make a silly comment about their request.

I have watched other entertainers doing shows or interacting with kids. They seem to have comments or jokes for just about any situation. I know this comes from experience and knowing what worked in the past. Since I haven’t been doing this as long as others, I am still building my list of jokes. During the past year, I have purchased several books of jokes and riddles. Although I have looked through the book, I haven’t done a good job of finding ones that I use on a regular basis.

I am going to try to compile a list of jokes related to various things related to the popular balloon and face painting designs. Today, I will begin with jokes about butterflies and other insects. The butterfly is one of the most popular faces for little girls and is also an easy balloon to make. When a kid asks for a butterfly, I will often call it a “flying stick of butter” and ask what type of toast they like best.

Here are some of the better jokes I found on the Internet.

Q. Why did the butterfly?
A. Because it saw the ice-cream float.

Q. Why wouldn’t they let the butterfly into the dance?
A. Because it was a moth ball!

Q. Why did the boy throw butter out the window?
A. Because he wanted to see a butter-fly!

Q. What goes zzub, zubb?
A. A bee flying backwards!

Q. What do you say to an annoying beetle?
A. Stop bugging me!

Q. What bug isn’t allowed in the boys’ bathroom?
A. A lady bug
