This short transcript excerpt shows creator Hadar Shemesh explaining the structure of knock-knock jokes and then demonstrating one by asking Siri to tell a knock-knock joke. Siri replies with an Ariana Grande punchline and a meta-comment; Hadar briefly comments on the humor and age-related reference.
Knock knock jokes are like a childish, silly, wordplay type of jokes. And it goes like this. You say, knock knock, and then someone else needs to ask, who's there? And then you say something, and then that person has to repeat that something and say, who? So let me give you an example. Siri, can you tell me a knock knock joke?
Okie dokie. Knock knock.
Who's there?
Ariana Grande.
Ariana Grande who?
Okay, Boomer, how about another one?
See, it's funny because I have to ask Ariana Grande who? Probably I'm not young enough.
