Knock-Knock Jokes

Traditionally reserved as the last bastion of the working mens club comedy circuit or the preserve of small children (who typically chirp them out parrot fashion for hours at a time on long car journeys... sorry mum), the noble Knock-Knock joke stands proudly in the annals of joke history. Who honestly doesn't laugh at the "Doctor Who" punchline? I mean, honestly, who? I laughed so hard last time I heard it that I gave myself a hernia.

Today's second post is all about the top 5 Knock-Knock jokes of the afternoon and a quick passing around of the hat has heralded some real gems:

"Knock Knock!"
"Who's there?"
"Police."
"Police who?"
"Police let us in; it's cold out here!"

Genius! I mean, if only beggars and street children had paid attention at joke school they could find doors opening everywhere they turned, for warmth and a meal.

"Knock Knock!"
"Doris."
"Doris, who?"
"Doris locked, that's why I had to knock!"

This Knock-Knock is actually used fairly often and is generally commandeered by attention seekers and the more forgetful sections of society. Popular among old people and drunks.

"Knock Knock!"
"Who's there?"
"Norma Lee."
"Norma Lee who?"
"Normalee I don't go around knocking on doors, but do you want to buy a set of encyclopedias?"

Ah, the travelling salesman gag! If I had a penny for every time I'd heard this Knock-Knock, I'd have a penny.

"Knock Knock!"
"Who's there?"
"Tank!"
"Tank who?"
"You're welcome!"

Often handy when running low on self-esteem, this Knock-Knock is the equivalent of a comedic Mars bar and perfect for that mid-shift pick me up. "Coffee?" "No thanks, but Knock Knock!"

And last but by no means least, the heavy hitter of all Knock-Knock jokes...

"Knock Knock!"
"Who's there?"
"Aardvark."
"Aardvark who?"
"Aardvark a million miles for one of your smiles."

Its true, too. x
