Or maybe you could call them heritage jokes.
I'm going to write a few little sketches aimed slightly but not exclusively at children. It's going to feature a lot of old jokes told in very quick succession to a long suffering 'target'.
-------------------------------------------------
eg
PERSON RUSHES UP TO TARGET WHO IS TRYING TO QUIETLY MEND A COMPUTER.
PERSON:
Help! There's a bear at the door! He's got great big paws, sharp teeth and scary eyes! He's banging at... ... ...the door trying to get in!
TARGET:
Why the big pause?
PERSON:
It's a bear. They all have them.
TARGET HANGS HEAD IN 'I CAN'T BELIEVE I FELL FOR IT' FED-UPNESS. PERSON WANDERS AWAY.
-Repeat with several other persons rushing in and annoying the target before the target utters hugely witty but as yet undecided punchline and goes off as well.

I know I could Google, but if anybody has a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very muchly.
