Our job is to take people's minds through it." --Bono's take on the Elevation Tour since 9/11

Joe mama ?!? I don't get it...

One of these days, someone has got to explain these "knock knock" jokes to me...if i'm correct, the answer to "who's there?" question is the punch line, right?
So...of all Joes, what is so funny about Joe mama?

Actually, U2girl, they are anti-climatic jokes. The punchline actually come before the concluding answer to "who's there".
In this case the punchline is "joe"...get it

But Johnny first said "joe" after the question "who's there" came up.

ps: aren't these jokes usually continued? You know:
knock knock
who's there?
(let's say) Jack
jack who?

punchline

So-the puncline would be Joe mama.
Right?

[ACROB@T]

wow, us U2 fans are very skeptical and analyitical, we analyse rock concert setlists, analyse rock star hairstyles, analyse rock star shoes and attire..and now the interpretation and moral significance of Knock Knock jokes

 

[Diemen]

It's a play on those "yo Mama" jokes, U2girl. I suppose a strict translation would be

joe mama=yo mama=your mother

 

[EPandAmerica]

LOL @ this thread and supervisor walks in and since I am normally so quiet, ask "what are you laughing at?"
NOW I have to go help the bookkeepers put out bank statements!
Thanks alot!

I see. So it's really "your mama" and not plain "joe mama". Got it.
