Knock-Knock is the world's oldest joke and yet has never gotten old!
(It just feels it.)
Invented by William Shakespeare in 1606, (appearing in his famed
tragedy, Macbeth; bet you never knew that) the humble Knock-Knock joke
has made eyes roll, noses snort and mouths chuckle for centuries. Since
the Bard's drunken Beelzebub bit the long-suffering gag became a global
'punomenon' (in 1936) before settling today as the world's best kids
(and Dads) joke format that encourages giggles and grimaces in equal
measure... with endless punning potential.
The latest kid on the block in Welbeck's big-selling Small and Mighty
gift series, compiled by (self-proclaimed) 'World's funniest joke
compiler', Malcolm Croft, The Small and Mighty Book of Knock Knock
Jokes is a tiny bundle of joy that includes all the classic and vintage
Knock-Knock jokes, as well as all the modern, twenty-first century ones
