Knock, knock! |
Who's there? |
Jokes |
The humour here comes largely from the fact that once you are familiar with the basic formula, it is possible to repeat it and get a different variation each time, depending on the name given. In many cases, the name is not a real name at all, and the last line is not related to the idea of asking to be let into a house or room either.
