The knock-knock joke is a structured word play joke that uses call and response. The joke presents a scenario in which the speaker is pretending to knock on the front door of the listener. The speaker initiates the joke by saying "knock-knock", and the listener responds by saying "who's there". The speaker then says a phrase to identify themselves, and the listener repeats the phrase and asks "who?" to request more information. The speaker then delivers a punch line, possibly using word play based on the phrase. The first modern knock-knock jokes were told in the United States in the 1930s, and they became a fad in 1936 with widespread use in the United States and the United Kingdom. Knock-knock jokes are a type of word play joke, which derive their humor from the conflation of homonyms. The joke is performed cooperatively by the speaker and the listener in a call and response format as they create a scene depicting a visitor knocking at a door. The joke is dependent on the speaker and the listener having previous exposure to the joke's format and enough general and linguistic knowledge to understand what is being referenced in the punchline. A standard knock-knock joke has five lines of dialogue.
