Like how you can see the difference between friends that drinks all the time and the friend that doesn't. It's crazy how Charles getting sloppy in the beginning but the Band members look same until end of the night 😂
@@king_owl2002 A “knock-knock” joke is a joke in which the teller of the joke pretends to be an unknown person knocking at the door. The receiver of the joke, should they choose to play along, pretends to be a person inside, answering the door. The joke usually ends with some kind of pun or word play, such as “Knock knock” “Who’s there?” “Tank” “Tank who?” “You’re welcome!” The joke in the example being that the person knocking’s first name is Tank, but when the person inside inquires further by asking “Tank who?” the knocker mishears this as “Thank you” and responds with “You’re welcome” In a knock knock joke, or really most kinds of jokes, you expect a punchline. You expect a pun or some word play or at least SOMETHING funny and somewhat unexpected. The “joke” with these knock-knock jokes is the subversion of expectations. The “joke” is that there isn’t a joke, and that that characters are just roleplaying as themselves knocking at the door. The audience (you and me) are expecting a punchline, so when we’re not given one, it’s funny. When the characters are laughing at the joke in universe, it’s like the writers laughing at the audience. They’re laughing because they didn’t tell a punchline. (Also, “comedy comes in threes” is a common phrase heard in writing, which is likely why this joke was written in to the episode three times even if one of them was cut from the episode) It’s like the entire basis behind Norm MacDonald’s comedy. If you’re looking for another hilarious example of jokes using subverted expectations as the punchline, check out Norm MacDonald’s “Guy with a Pumpkin Head” joke or his Moth joke. As for an IN UNIVERSE explanation as to why the characters are laughing, i don’t think Dethklok are capable of really “getting” that kind of humor. I think they’re just now discovering knock-knock jokes as a concept, and find them funny regardless of what the punchline is, so long as it’s a cool person telling it (like themselves). When an uncool person tells a joke (like Charles), they don’t get it. Not necessarily because the “joke” wasn’t funny, but because they don’t think Charles in general is funny.
@@king_owl2002 There really isn't one, and that's why it's so funny. Not to mention that they're texting each other on their own phones, they can actually see who the text is coming from, but they're still like "WHO SENT ME THIS? :O " Brendon Small has such a weird sense of humor, that's why this show and Home Movies were so great and unique
Earlier in the episode they text each other insanely dumb knock knock jokes and they lose their mind over it, funniest thing they’ve ever seen. When Charles does the exact same thing it goes over their heads
