Have the person raise their index finger and spin it around in a circle. Then:

Knock, knock.

Woo.

End of joke.  
Sometimes you can add on a “Gee, it’s not that good of a joke.”

Okay, the “interrupting starfish” just _killed_ with my 17-year-old and her dad. Thanks, **storyteller0910**!

My favorite series (keep in mind I produced a 17-year-old who found the above joke absolutely hilarious):

Knock knock  
Who’s there?  
Ether  
Ether who?  
Ether Bunny

Knock knock  
Who’s there?  
Cargo  
Cargo beep-beep, run over Ether Bunny

Knock knock  
Who’s there?  
Boo  
Boo who?  
Don’t cry; Ether Bunny be back next year!

I liked the one at the very end of Wil Smith’s movie, **Pursuit of Happyness**.

Knock knock.  
Who’s there?  
Nobody.  
Nobody who?  
(First person remains silent, hopefully leading other person to repeat “Nobody who?” until they get it.)
