Origination of the Knock-Knock Joke
Believed to have originated from Shakespeare, knock-knock jokes have survived the test of time. Most joke patterns last about 20 years, but this one appears to have lasted a lot longer and is perhaps here to stay.
In Macbeth, written in 1606, the first knock-knock joke appeared. But, it didn’t become popular until the 1900s. The craze swept America in 1936.
