knock-knock jokes

tonight i traded knock-knock jokes with a three year old. it was a new concept to her and it was pretty funny. a typical example went something like this:

her: knock-knock
me: who’s there?
her: banana! hahahahahahhahaha!!!!

her older sister (5 years old) came over to try them later with me and they went something like this:

her: knock-knock
me: who’s there?
her: banana!
me: banana who?
her: banana silly!
me: banana silly who?
her: (giggling) banana silly pickles!

a few years ago for work, i had to search for the best knock-knock jokes i could find. here are a few of my favorites:

k-k, w’s t?, howie, howie who?, i’m fine, howie you?

k-k, w’s t?, amnesia, amnesia who?, oh, you have it too?

and my all-time favorite because it works on every angle is the classic

knock-knock
who’s there
boo!
boo who?
i didn’t mean to make you cry!

ok, i actually have another favorite, but i have to tell you in person, so if you see me sometime, ask me for my favorite “you had to be there” knock-knock joke.
