I wrote a blog post about the history of knock knock jokes, and I learned all about the "Nifty",
Before knock knock jokes there were do you know? jokes, made popular in the early 1900’s. For example,
“Do you know Patty O’Furniture”?
Or slightly more complex
“Do you know Arthur?”
“Arthur who?”
“Arthurmometer!”
Hilarity would ensue. This style of joke was nicknamed ” nifties “.
Know any good Nifties Reddit?
Also please say them like you're an old timey newspaper person, it really adds to it.
Here's my blog link if you want to learn more.
