"Fresh Dad Jokes" is kind of an oxymoron, I know, but...

I'm planning my "Dad's Chili" booth for a cookoff in a couple of weeks. I give a free (alright, obligatory) dad joke with each bowl. This is my second year doing this, so my adoring public already knows where the general keeps his armies*, what's all brown and sticky**, and whats brown and rhymes with "snoop."*** I need some new material.
I'm a dad joke collector, so any dad joke you can glean from Googling I've already found. I need new groaners -- topical, pop-cultural if I can get 'em -- to keep my shtick lively.
Keep in mind this is a Church audience and school-aged kids are my biggest fans. Can you help me keep it fresh, fun, and family friendly?
*in his sleevies
**a stick

My dad's favorite joke is:

Did you hear about the new pirate movie? It's rated ARRGGGGHHH.
What's a pirate's favorite letter? (Interlocutor answers "arrrrrgh".) You would think so, but it's actually the C.
What do you get when you cross a pig and a Christmas tree? A porcupine.
What's a snake's favorite school subject? Hiss-tory.
What's a seal's favorite school subject? Art art art art (said in seal voice).
What's Beethoven's favorite fruit? A ba-na-na-na (said to the tune of the opening notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony).
If you have the time to tell the "orange you glad I didn't say banana?" knock knock joke, it goes over well with your target audience.
And of course, the funniest joke ever told, the sine qua non of humor, the Interrupting Cow.

How did Tigger get his head stuck in the toilet?
He was looking for Pooh.
What did one all say to the other?

The public library probably has lots of joke books in the kids section.

I learned today that the horror movie The Fly, in the case of both the original starring Vincent Price and the remake starring Jeff Goldblum, is just over 90 minutes' running time. Do you know why that is?
Because it's a bug and a feature.
