To learn more about how Squeaky Clean Humor came to be in the first place, we reached out to the creator of the account, Allie, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda. “I started my account on a whim when I was 16. It was just a little fun thing to do, and I never expected to keep it for long,” she shared. “It’s been so amazing to see the growth through the years. Even just reaching 1,000 and 10,000 followers was so cool. Now with over a quarter of a million, it’s mind blowing!”
As far as why it’s so important to share clean humor, Allie says, “There are so many pages out there that post a lot of inappropriate/vulgar content. I think it’s important to have some wholesome humor in your life, things both your 10-year-old and your grandma will like. I also make it so I never make jokes about serious issues. I want my page to be a place you can escape and not have to worry about those issues.”

We were also curious how Allie decides which memes to share on the page. “I mainly find my pictures online, as well as occasionally making my own, or having friends send me ones they’ve seen,” the creator explained. “I rarely take submissions, but if someone sends me something really funny, I’ll post it!”
Allie also shared that it’s difficult to narrow down any favorites since she’s posted nearly 7,000 times, but a few stand out to her. “One that my brother came up with I saw posted by a few other accounts, so that was really cool to see! I’ve found that people really like posts that have to do with movies they love,” she added. “The Princess Bride is always a good choice!”
Allie also shared how passionate she is about running Squeaky Clean Humor. “I absolutely love running this account and interacting with everyone. It’s become a huge part of my life, and it’s honestly changed my life and the person I am. I love sharing things that go on in my life, and answering questions from my followers. It’s a super fun thing to do!”
Clean humor is great because it can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. And as we all know, laughter really is the best medicine. According to HelpGuide, getting in a good laugh is great because it can strengthen our immune systems, boost our moods, alleviate pain and prevent us from becoming too stressed.
When we’re kids, most of us laugh all the time, without even being aware of it. But as adults, we sometimes need to make a conscious effort to get in a chuckle. Our lives can become much more serious, and it’s easy to go an entire day without laughing until your abs hurt. But we shouldn’t let this happen, as laughter is a great way to release tension!

HelpGuide notes that laughter can even benefit heart health, as it improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow. Enjoying a good laugh every day can also be great to keep us from holding grudges or getting too angry. All emotions are meant to be felt, but being able to find humor in any situation can help us cope with the struggles of being human. Having a laugh can prevent you from becoming resentful and be a healthy reminder not to take life too seriously.
Because there are so many benefits to having a long, healthy laugh every day, it’s important to have comedy that’s accessible and enjoyable for everyone. That’s why clean comedy has been growing in popularity in recent years! Far too often, comics feel the need to rely on low blows and discriminatory or derogatory jokes that leave someone feeling offended. But this is completely unnecessary! Making jokes at no one’s expense may take a bit of creativity, but it’s certainly worth it. And apparently, it can even get you 267k Instagram followers!

According to The Grable Group, clean comedy should be many people’s go-to because it’s appropriate for a wide variety of events. If there will be kids in attendance at your birthday party, you need entertainment for a company event, or you’re looking for a comedy show to take the whole family to on Saturday night, clean comedy can be a godsend. The Grable Group also notes that clean comedy usually takes a bit more effort than dark humor or offensive comedy, so it should be extremely well done. You can trust that the comedians put a lot of thought into their sets.
You can also attend a clean comedy show, or follow a clean comedy account on Instagram, without having to worry at all about getting offended. What is considered a “sensitive topic” can vary person to person, but clean comedy should always be safe.
On the same note, as a comedian, it can be wise to write clean jokes, as this can help you grow your following. You can share clips of your routines online without worrying about getting any backlash, and viewers can happily share your content with all of their own followers.
