But my absolute favorite is...

'I know this great Knock Knock joke, but you have to start it...'
They say Knock Knock
You say Who's there?
And then watch 'em squirm...

hehehehehe
But, when was the first knock knock joke popularized?

sept 17th 1486 (around 10:29 A.M.) nobody thought it was funny.

I was convinced that they made their appearance in the 70s, but then i thought about it. I was the right age for k-k jokes in te early 70s. They made their debute on MY horizon then. But, still, they have to be sort of modern, no?

We (usa) were telling knock, knock jokes in the 50's and they are older than that

witness

Knock knock
Who's there?
Don Ameche
Don Ameche who?
I'll be Don Ameche in a taxi honey, better be ready bout half past eight...

Much earlier than the 70s.

Roger would know, he is much older than I.

Sure dys. Like six months earlier!!!

well?

Joe - I don't get it.

lol

knock knock jokes have been around for a while but k I think that we derived the most pleasure from them in the 70's....either from the drugs or if not old enough..from the new funnies we could even get across

Don Ameche ---> Down to meetcha. Or maybe the generation is greater than I thought. You have heard of Don Ameche, I'm sure.

knock knock who's there;

Knock, knock
Who's there?
Tarzan.

Tarzan Stripes Forever.

Dys probably has the date wrong. At sept 17th 1486, people were still being drawn, hanged, and quartered - a strong disincentive to knock, knock jokes.

knock, knock;
who's there?
butcher.
'butcher' who?
the butcher who's come to punish you for your last joke!

My favorite knock knock jokes are Jehovah's Witnesses.

Knock Knock (who's there?)
-Fornication. (fornication who?)
-For'ni'cation like this you should wear a tuxedo.

Knock Knock... (who's there?)
Sam and Janet... (Sam and Janet who?)

I finally broke down and googled knock knock jokes, (there are thousands of them!). no one seems to know their origins.

"Knock-Knock" jokes are one of the most common juvenile humor forms in English. While common in Britain and the U.S., as the jokes are based on English word-play and puns, they are seldom heard outside native English environments. To some extent Knock-Knock jokes can be sources of information on the cultural references, brand names, etc., assumed to be "known" within a given culture. Compare the British jokes at the end with the American ones for likely 'transferability' to the other culture or variety of English.
