7. Knock Knock! Who's there? Leaf. Leaf who? Leaf me alone!

Why don't you make it like a tree and leaf? Many a great knock-knock joke was made based on a pun. When making your own knock-knock jokes, a winning method is to choose words that sound similar to other, funnier words.

Interesting History of Knock Knock Jokes

You may know plenty of knock-knock jokes through hearing them throughout your life, but do you know about the history of these classic gut-busters? If you're interested in understanding the troubled history and origins of knock-knock jokes, you've come to the right place. I'll give you a short but informative explanation of what they are and how they came to be.

The origins of the knock-knock joke are lost to history, but some believe it to originate from William Shakespeare's Macbeth - in which the porter, hearing three knocks on his door, responded with "Who's there, in the name of Beelzebub?" This setup may be familiar to people of all ages in today's world, but it didn't start its life as a common joke until much, much after Macbeth.

Knock-knock jokes weren't always the knee-slappers we know them to be. In fact, they were highly scrutinized by critics during their heyday. They started life in the 20th century, specifically in the 1920s, as "Do you know?" jokes. Here's the most popular one at the time: "Do you know Arthur?" "Arthur who?" "Arthurmometer! (Our thermometer!)" Since then, they have evolved into the shape of the jokes we're familiar with today: knock-knock jokes.

Who ended up starting the whole craze was a mystery - but it was such a hit at the time that even Hollywood started performing knock-knock jokes in plays. But as with all new trends and fads, they had their detractors and critics. At the time, some people considered those following the new fad as having social problems or being possessed by mania. For example, D.A. Laird, the director of the Rivercrest Psychological Laboratory at Colgate University, went on a lengthy tangent against mass mania - knock-knock jokes included and claimed those who constantly pun and those who enjoy such jokes as if they were sick people. He even claimed them to be "absurd stunts which became crazes that occupied the interests of thousands of young people."

However, knock-knock jokes have endured and become a staple form of humor in the modern age. Whether they're funny or not is still hotly contested by people, but you can't deny that they've become ingrained in humanity's collective humor as a classic.
