In 1995, before we had instant messaging, we had the door. Knock-knock jokes were the original “pop-up notifications” of the 90s. Whether told through a screen door or during a long car ride without a Game Boy, these were the rhythmic staples of every dad’s comedy routine. Here is the definitive 1995 archive of the “Who’s there?” era.
