A knock knock joke is a short call-and-response gag: one person says "Knock knock," the other bites with "Who's there?", and a name sets up a pun-loaded punchline. Below are 337 knock knock jokes, grouped so you can find the right one fast — the classics, the groaners, the ones that break the format, plus food, animal and Halloween sets. Want them one at a time instead of a list? Our knock knock joke generator deals a fresh one every tap.
How Does a Knock Knock Joke Work?
A knock knock joke is a scripted little duet. One person opens with "Knock knock," the other is honour-bound to reply "Who's there?" You answer with a name or word, they echo it back with "…who?", and you spring the punchline — almost always a pun that twists that name into something unexpected. The whole joke rides on the setup being a trap: your victim has to play along, which means they walk straight into the pun. Deadpan delivery and a straight face do the rest.

What Makes a Knock Knock Joke Land?
The best knock knock jokes share three things: a name that hides a phrase, a clean pun that only clicks on the reveal, and a victim who can't escape the format. The comedy is built into the ritual — once someone says "Who's there?" they're committed, and half the fun is watching them realize where it's going. Short is better, deadpan is essential, and the groan is the goal, not a failure.
How Do You Make up Your Own Knock Knock Jokes?
Start with the punchline, not the knock. Pick a common phrase, then find a name or word that sounds like the first bit of it — "lettuce" for "let us," "Anita" for "I need a." Wedge that into the name slot and the format does the rest. If you get stuck, our Dad Joke Generator is a great warm-up: the same pun logic powers both, so a few taps will get your brain firing.
Want a bottomless supply of quick one-liners to fire back with? Tap the Dad Joke Generator and roll a fresh groaner every single time.
