Funny how it´s only americans and english people (Maybe also australians) who find those "knock-knock" and "Why did the chicken cross the road" jokes funny. Nobody else are using them. Maybe because we don´t GET any of them?:rolleyes:

...What do you mean, you don't get them?
It starts as a knock, knock on the door, then a question, then a reply, then another question, and then another reply(the punch line)...Oh yeah, ya gotta have a sense of humor....LMAO!!!!;) :p

But the punch lines a never funny. They never make any sense. Maybe to the americans they do, but not to the rest of the world.

And yes, i´m pretty sure i speak for all on the other side of the planet.;) :D

..They aren't like bust out laughing funny....I guess they're more cute than anything.....Like, knock, knock......who's there?....orange....orange who?......orange ya glad to see me!

It's mainly just a play on words....orange=aren't you...;)

You´ve just stated my point.

NOT FUNNY!!!

What point? what was your point?

You said "us american's" think that knock knock jokes are funny, and you didn't understand why.....right?



Well, if you answered yes....then I think I explained it to you....


It's a play on words....that's almost always funny, laughable, giggle worthy,and/or bust your gut laughing......isn't it.......

No.

Only to the americans.:rolleyes:

...Well, glad to be an American then....It's nice to have the ability to laugh at something like that.....;) :D

Hm.... I guess i have to take your word for it.:)

I'm sure way back when it was supposed to be a joke but now it's really just a game of who can come up with the most clever thing to say.

...Guess so...;)

And is that the same case with the "Why did the chicken cross the road" jokes?

Pretty much

The only time i´ve laughed at a joke like that, was in the cinema watching "Last boyscout", in the scene where Willis is using a hand puppet. Remember that joke anybody? Oh man... What an awsome movie....
But ever since when i think back on that joke i just think "What the hell was funny about THAT???". Guess everything is always funnier in the cinema?:rolleyes:

Well imo the knock knocks can be creative and slightly funny at times, you might even catch one that'll really make you laugh but as for the chicken crossing the road stuff I just find that to be lame.

You know, personally, I don't give a flying fuck IF the world doesn't find our humor...well humorous. If they/you don't get our jokes that's not my problem. Case in point:

Two penguins were taking a shower. One penguin drops the soap. He looks at his buddy and says, "Hey could you hand me the soap?" His buddy looks at him and replies, "No! What do I look like a type writer?

Makes no sense. You're supposed to be like, "What?!" and then chuckle at the stupidity.

I'm not angry or anything, I just was a little put off by the notion that the Americans and British are bad comedians (on a broad scale...not just famous funny people) because our jokes don't make sense. That doesn't make any sense.:p

Well, fortunately american and english humor is more than "Knock-knock" & "Why did the chicken" jokes.

U DO have humor, that´s one of the reasons why i keep comming back to this place for instance. But the knock-knock chickens have never gone abroad.

That´s about the gist of it.

how the hell did we go from the awesome light bulb thing newb wrote to yelling about knock knock jokes lol

this is just funny if you ask me

I'm pretty sure the rest of the other side of the planet would tell you not to speak for them.

And then they'd make a knock knock jokes.

Dude, EVERYBODY makes knock knock jokes, its not really considered a "cultural" thing.

Dont forget a few members to post that somebody posted the same thing almost a year ago:p :p

Eerie...

Well, i´m pretty sure it is.

Never seen a knock-knock joke in an asian movie.;)

i've never seen an asian movie in a knock knock joke

????... Was that a knock-knock joke?:confused:

do i look like a typewriter?

You look like..... Pacman?

Well how many knock knock jokes have you seen in any movie?

You seriously think i can remember how many??

Well, i can´t. But I´ve seen enough.

Name one.

Okay.

It´s a bad example, but "American werewolf in London".

"There´s something about mary" is another that comes to mind.
