Knock knock
Who's there?
Ow.
Ow who?
Werewolves of London. Owhoooooooo!
Okay, here’s my “Joke Poo” version of the werewolf knock-knock joke:

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Igor.
Igor who?
Igor-ing the cobwebs is my job here! Get to work!
Alright, let’s dissect this Halloween knock-knock joke!
Elements:
- Structure: Classic knock-knock format.
- Setup: “Ow” as the name.
- Punchline: Wordplay using “Ow” to reference “Werewolves of London” and a howl (Owhoooooooo!).
- Humor Type: Pun, wordplay, pop culture reference (Warren Zevon’s song), Halloween theme.
- Target Audience: General audience, fans of Halloween, and/or the song “Werewolves of London.”
Now, let’s create some comedic enrichment:
1. New Joke (Playing on Misunderstanding):
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Barry.
Barry who?
Barry careful! There’s a full moon and I’m feeling a little… hairy!
2. Witty Observation:
The brilliance of that “Werewolves of London” knock-knock joke is it almost justifies the existence of knock-knock jokes in general. It’s like the exception that proves the rule that most knock-knock jokes are just… painful. (Hence, the “Ow.”)
3. Amusing “Did You Know” Fact:
Did you know that Warren Zevon, the singer of “Werewolves of London,” originally didn’t like the song? He thought it was silly! He recorded it as a favor to the Everly Brothers and Jackson Browne, who encouraged him to finish it. So, technically, the entire reason we have a werewolf-themed pun available for Halloween jokes is because of peer pressure. The horror!
4. Meta Joke:
Why did the Werewolf of London get a therapist?
Because he had howl-some anxiety. He kept thinking, “What if my knock-knock joke about myself just doesn’t land?” The pressure to be howl-arious is immense, especially during Halloween.
5. Deeper Dive (Slightly more complex):
I always wondered how Werewolves of London pay their utility bills. Do they just write “Owhoooooooo” on the check? I’m sure accounting departments love that. Then again, if you can transform into a fearsome beast under the full moon, you probably don’t worry too much about late fees. You just transform into a bigger, angrier version of yourself and roar at the bill collector. Problem solved!
