Do you know any jokes in English?

I don't know any jokes in English. I usually study English on YouTube News channels like ABC news or CNN10, so I've learned about world situation rather than jokes. I want to know some jokes in order to enjoy speaking with foreign people, but I have no idea how to.

Good job!
Jokes and humor in English comes in all sorts of forms. There are simple ones like "knock-knock jokes", puns, and whatnot that focus more on wordplay. One common one that you'll probably often hear goes like this:
Person 1: "Knock knock."
Person 2: "Who's there?"
Person 1: "Orange."
Person 2: "Orange who?"
Person 3: "Orange you glad I didn't say banana?"
I will say these types of jokes are ones that often make people groan, but the fact that it does is funny in and of itself.
Other jokes include "Yo mama jokes" which I've noticed have fallen out of popularity. I think due to their insulting nature of other people's moms and being more immature they're pretty much mostly told by children and adolescents.
My favorite kinds of humor are dry humor or ones based more on realistic or ad lib dialogue in TV shows. This often involves characters bluntly responding to questions, making an outlandish situation seem mundane, or characters having a casual conversation but the context of what they're saying is funny.
I think that as you watch some comedy shows, skits, etc. and your English improves you'll learn how to crack jokes at the right situations.

Thank you very much for your careful correction.
It seems like the types of jokes differ from country to country.
In Japan, laughter is made up of "boke" (funny joke) and "tsukkomi" (comedian).
Maybe it's better to talk to people directly after all.

I don't watch much YouTube, but there are plenty of other channels. Comedy can be tricky though, something that is funny to one person could offend someone else. And then there are dad jokes, which are just really bad (not funny). But because they aren't funny, they kind of end up being a little funny. This probably doesn't make any sense. ;)

Search YouTube, there will definitely be some comedy channels. You could also watch popular tv shows/sitcoms, which aren't necessarily jokes to tell, but it might help with learning, shows like Seinfeld, Friends, The Simpsons, I Love Lucy..... etc.

I've never seen a foreign comedy show, so I'm looking forward to it.
However, I think it's probably important to talk to people directly.
