Knock-knock jokes
6 jokes · ten picks, reshuffled daily
A knock-knock joke is a tiny play with a script everyone already knows, which is exactly why kids love it: they get to be in it. The setup is a ritual, the punchline is a pun on a name, and the quality lives entirely in that last line.
The ones here have earned their place. Some are classics everyone's grandparent told; some are newer and sharper. All are clean, which for this form is not even an achievement, it is just the genre.
