National Knock Knock Jokes Day: Classic and clean knock knock jokes


When it comes to fun holidays, October 31 is one of the best holidays of the entire year! Not only is it ooey gooey National Caramel Apple Day, Carve a Pumpkin Day and the "defrightful" Halloween, it’s also National Knock Knock Jokes Day!

Just in case you don’t know what what one is - it takes two to knock knock. One person is the “knocker” while the other person is the “knockee.” And unlike other jokes, you don’t have to be a comedian or practical joker to tell a great knock knock joke either.
