Knock knock jokes

From Wikiquote

Knock-knock jokes are one of the best-known forms of the pun, and represent a time-honoured "call and answer" exercise. Developmental psychologists study knock-knock-joke usage in younger children, as it provides valuable insight into how children advance their language skills.

The standard format has five lines:

  1. The punster: Knock-knock
  2. The recipient: Who's there?
  3. The punster: a name
  4. The recipient: a name plus who?
  5. The punster: the punch line
