History of Knock Knock Jokes
Did you know that knock-knock jokes have been encouraging laughs around America since the early 20th century? Sure, their formulaic delivery has also inspired a fair share of eye rolls throughout the years, but they’ve remained a staple of American humor nonetheless.
Surprisingly, they weren’t always known as they are referred to today. During the early 1900s, folks would introduce these jokes with a simple, “do you know…” It wasn’t until the 30’s that the phrase “knock, knock” was incorporated into the formula.
These quips became so popular that they even made their way into politics. On June 17, 1936, the Harrisburg Telegraph published a few big hitters after Alf Landon announced Col. Frank Knox as his running mate in the presidential election.
Marketers soon followed suit. That same year, the Edgemont Cash & Carry Grocery in Chester, Pennsylvania, ran a display ad in the Delaware County Times reading, “Knock! Knock! Who’s there? Don. Don who? Don forget to do your shopping at the Cash and Carry…”
Fast forward to today, and you’ll see that knock, knock jokes are alive and well. More recently, they’ve made appearances across comedy clubs, in the New York Times, and our very own Great Wolf Lodge blog!
