Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Yukon.
Yukon who?
Yukon go away and come back another time.
The joke “Knock, knock. Who’s there? Yukon. Yukon who? Yukon go away and come back another time.” is a classic example of a knock-knock joke, which is a type of pun-based humor. The humor in this joke arises from the play on words between “Yukon” and “You can.”
In the setup, the word “Yukon” is introduced, which is a territory in northwest Canada. However, in the punchline, “Yukon” is phonetically split to sound like “You can.” The phrase “You can go away and come back another time” is a humorous way of saying “You’re not welcome right now,” which is unexpected in the context of answering a knock at the door.
I asked my family “Canadad travel to the Great White North”
My children replied “Yukon”, but my wife was having Nunavut.
