GERARDO'S
KNOCK KNOCK
JOKES!!!

40 jokes I made up ALL BY MYSELF

HI!!! My name is Gerardo and I am 9 years old and I live in Texas. I like skateboarding and Uno and making up jokes. My favorite kind of joke is knock knock jokes because you can tell them to anybody, even little kids, even my grandpa.

Every joke on this page I made up myself. I did NOT get them out of a book. I tried them all on my little sister Adriana. She is 6. She is the judge. She gives every joke stars for how hard she laughed:

* = she smiled a little bit
** = she said "heh"
*** = she laughed
**** = she laughed a LOT
***** = she fell off the couch

My cousin Naomi helped me type this because she is 17 and types super fast. She fixed my spelling too. But the jokes are ALL mine. She says to tell you that.

JOKES THAT DIDN'T WORK
(I'm putting them here so you don't make the same mistakes)

Cactus. Cactus who? Cactus makes perfect!
Why it didn't work: Adriana never heard "practice makes perfect" so she just said "What?" about five times. My mom laughed though. So it works on grown-ups.

Rodeo. Rodeo who? I rode-eo-ver here on my bike!
Why it didn't work: When I say it fast it just sounds like rodeo. When I say it slow it sounds weird. I tried it like ten times.

Armadillo. Armadillo who? ...
Why it didn't work: I forgot the end in the middle of telling it. I still can't remember it. It was really good. If you know what it was, e-mail me.

The one where Adriana opened the door.
Why it didn't work: I knocked on her bedroom door for real to start a joke and she just opened it and said "WHAT?" That's not how it goes. See tip number 1.

The one about my teacher.
Why it didn't work: My mom read it and said it was a little bit mean, so I erased it. My teacher is nice anyway.

HOW TO TELL A KNOCK KNOCK JOKE RIGHT
by Gerardo, expert

  1. Wait for "Who's there?" You HAVE to wait. If you just keep going it's not a knock knock joke, it's just talking.
  2. Knock on something for real. Like the table. It's way better than just saying "knock knock."
  3. Don't laugh before the end. I always do this. I'm working on it.
  4. Say the last part slow and LOUD. That's where the funny part is. Don't mumble it.
  5. Pick somebody who's not busy. Not my dad when the Cowboys are on. Not my mom when she's on the phone. Grandpa is always good.
  6. Don't do more than five in a row. After five people start walking away. I learned this at Thanksgiving.
  7. If they don't get it, don't explain it ten times. Just tell a new one.
  8. Never tell a mean one. Jokes are supposed to make everybody laugh, not just you.

Did you make up a knock knock joke?
Send it to me and I'll test it on Adriana!
