Me: Who’s there?
Ava: Boo.
Me: Boo who?
Ava: You don’t have to cry about it.
Thanks to Sara Groves and her Station Wagon CD, Ava has discovered knock-knock jokes. With a repertoire of about five knock-knock jokes, it’s been non-stop entertainment. Non-stop monotonous entertainment.
What’s your favorite knock-knock joke?
We are in desperate need for new material. Seriously people, how many times can one mama “cry about it”?
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Olive.
Olive Who?
Olive YOU.
This was the first knock knock joke I ever learned and has always been my favorite.
This one doesn’t really work unless we’re face to face:
Jokester: Knock knock.
Victim: Who’s there?
Jokester: Interrupting starfish.
Victim: Interrupting starfish who? (at which point the jokester reaches in and grabs the victim’s nose)
So. Funny.
Have you heard it?
To tell you the truth, the one Ava knows is the ONLY one I know (or at least, remember) too!
We just had a book from the library that was all halloween jokes. I can only remember one because it’s the only one my son can remember too. It’s not knock knock
What sound does the Witches car make?
Broom Broom Broom.
(He’s really into cars.)
Man, I wish I still had the book I’d tell you more. They were really clever.
Knock Knock!
Who’s there?
Dishes.
Dishes who?
Dishes me. Who ish you?
i can’t think of any right now……but if i do, i’ll let you know. very cute, ava.
Knock knock
Who’s there?
Banana
Banana Who?
Knock Knock
Who’s there?
Banana
Banana Who?
Knock knock
Who’s there?
Orange
Orange Who?
Orange you glad I didn’t say banana!
(of course the banana part can go on FOREVER, depending on how crazy your child is trying to drive you)
Ok, so this is MY favorite.
Knock knock!
Who’s there?
Panther.
Panther who?
Panther no panths, I’m going thwimming!
It’s a little hard to write down, but basically you have to lisp. I thought you would like it, Rachel, since it’s a play on words and you (like me) are a word person.
The boo who joke is the reason my kids love Station Wagon.
If they were in charge we would just keep repeating that part over and and over again. We will have Ava over to play soon so Ruthie can teach her more jokes from her new joke book. They’re right up there with boo who, we do more groaning than laughing, but she thinks she’s hilarious!
love you guys!
Oooh, I really want that Station Wagon CD!! It’s on my Christmas list.
Here’s a couple of ours:
Knock Knock
Who’s there?
Utch
Utch who?
Bless you.
Knock Knock
Who’s there?
Who
Who Who?
What, are you an owl?
This is the best one ever, to get back at those annoying “knock knock” joke lovers!
You say something like, “Okay i have one. ”
Let’s say it’s between you and Ava..
Rach: “Okay, i have one. Say ‘knock knock’.
Ava: “Knock Knock.”
Rach: “Who’s there?”
Ava: (silence)
it’s hilarious to me EVERY TIME! It just stumps the other person and they don’t know what to say!
but i could very well be the only person who thinks it’s that funny….maybe you should try it on HungryMan first.
i was thinking of the interrupting COW joke. it’s like the starfish one, but a little different. i hadn’t heard of the starfish one before.
knock, knock
who’s there?
interrupting cow
interrup—
MOOO!
get it?
my kids love it because it’s such a rush for them to try to say “moo” before i’m finished saying “interrupting cow who?”
We have left the land of real knock-knock jokes and entered the land of nonsense knock-knock jokes.
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Purple kangaroo.
Purple kangaroo who?
Purple kangaroo I ate a carrot and it was a fish.
Ummmmm … Ha-ha?
No suggestions here, sorry. Ann is into singing songs about nonsense.
Most of the time, they are quite funny.
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Dwayne.
Dwayne who?
Dwayne the tub, I’m drowning!
(Except you have to mispronounce “drowning” — “dwowning.”)
I know, I know, it’s probably the greatest knock-knock joke since the beginning of knock-knock jokes. You can thank me later.
By the way, I only recently discovered your blog, and have been enjoying it very much! Your daughter has a wonderful imagination.
Knock knock.
who’s there?
Luke.
Luke who?
Luke out below!!!
(we. like Kelly@lovewell have also mostly gone the way of nonsensical Knock Knocks. joy.)
Ok, this is not a knock, knock but it was Elias’ first joke. Maybe it will encourage Ava to branch out a bit.
Q: Which keys don’t open doors?
A: Turkeys!
Also a good Thanksgiving joke. After explaining why turkeys worked as an answer, we expanded acceptable answers to include donkeys and monkeys. Although, considering that our cat can open doors, most monkeys could probably open doors as well.
Another joke that Elias likes, because he’s into reading three letter words, is:
Q: What three letters are a mouse trap?
A: c-a-t
More of a riddle, really.
[...] 17, 2008 by Rachel Oh, the canned jokes. Thank you so much for all your contributions! They have provided Ava with the steady source of giggles and HungryMan with unpreventable eye [...]
I am disappointed that I have been out of the blogging loop for a bit here and missed this great post. I definitely could have contributed some GREAT jokes since joke telling is one of my specialties (ha ha ha , yeah right!).
Here are some of my favorites…
Knock Knock
Whos’ there?
Cloud
Cloud Who?
Cloud in the sky.
ha ha ha
Knock Knock
Who’s there?
Curtains

You get the picture…my and my kids’ knock knock jokes don’t make too much sense. That is why we love them so!!
Cute post and love the other jokes!
