One man’s (feeble) attempt at entertaining his Facebook friends with a ‘knock knock’ joke went badly wrong after two of his mates hijacked it – with hilarious consequences.

The unsuspecting user, known only as Steve (for security reasons), sought to delight the world with one of the oldest jokes in the history of the ‘knock knock’ tradition.

But, unbeknownst to him two of Steve’s ‘friends’, David and Tim, turned out to be far funnier than he was – taking control of the post to turn it into one of the most convoluted (but staggeringly funny) episodes to play out on the social network.



A combination of the ridiculous and off-the cuff storyline, and Steve’s increasing incredulity, combine to make it one of the best Facebook pranks we’ve seen in a long time.


Steve’s experience, which can be relived in its entirety below (complete with some choice language – you’ve been warned), is a lesson to us all… Don’t tell ‘knock knock’ jokes on Facebook.
